The Hydraulic Crimping Tool (16-300mm²) is a high-powered tool designed for crimping large-diameter cables, lugs, and connectors in electrical, industrial, and renewable energy applications. It uses hydraulic pressure to deliver strong, uniform crimps without excessive manual force.

Key Features:

✔ Wide Crimping Range – Handles 16mm² to 300mm² (approx. 6 AWG to 600 MCM) cables.
✔ Hydraulic Mechanism – Provides high-pressure crimping (up to 10+ tons) for secure, gas-tight connections.
✔ Interchangeable Dies – Supports hexagonal, square, or indented crimps (common dies: 16, 25, 35, 50, 70, 95, 120, 150, 185, 240, 300mm²).
✔ Manual or Battery-Powered – Some models feature electric hydraulic pumps for faster operation.
✔ Safety Lock – Prevents accidental release during crimping.
✔ Portable & Durable – Lightweight yet rugged for fieldwork.

Common Applications:

• High-voltage power lines (utility, substations).

• Solar/Wind energy systems (battery banks, inverter connections).

• Industrial machinery (motor terminals, grounding lugs).

• Marine & Mining (heavy-duty cable installations).

Top Recommended Models:

1. Temco HT-20R (Manual hydraulic, 16-300mm²).

2. IWISS SN-3000 (Battery-powered hydraulic crimper).

3. Greenlee 1818 (Professional-grade, rugged).

4. Phoenix Contact 3240020 (Precision dies for industrial use).

How to Use a Hydraulic Crimper:

1. Select the correct die for your cable size.

2. Insert the lug & cable into the crimper.

3. Pump the handle (or trigger, if electric) until full pressure is reached.

4. Release and inspect the crimp for uniformity.

Buying Considerations:

• Manual vs. Electric (manual = cheaper, electric = faster).

• Die compatibility (check if included or sold separately).

• Pressure rating (higher = better for thick copper/aluminum cables).

• Portability (weight and size for fieldwork).https://store.unigulfsupply.com/product/hydraulic-crimping-tool-16-300mm2/
