Cembre HT45E Cable Crimping Tools

HT45E Cembre | Lightweight and compact, this crimping tool is ideal for the compression electrical of connectors on overhead lines and other general underground cable connection applications. Having the benefit of spring loaded handles, the tool dies can be advanced using only one hand; therefore leaving the other hand free to position the lug or splice connector. For ease of operation and comfort of the operator, the crimp tool head can be fully rotated through 180 degrees. The built-in safety valve will by-pass the oil supply when the maximum pressure is reached, and a pressure releasing system can easily be operated at any stage of the compression.


Cembre HT51 Cable Crimping Tools

HT51 Cembre | his two speed lightweight and compact, hydraulic crimping tool is ideal for working in confined spaces. Having the benefit of spring loaded handles, the tool dies can be advanced using only one hand; therefore leaving the other hand free to position the lug or splice connector. For ease of operation and comfort of the operator, the crimping tool head can be fully rotated through 180 degrees. The built-in safety valve will by-pass the oil supply when the maximum pressure is reached, and a pressure release system can easily be operated at any stage of the compression.


Cembre HT120 Cable Crimping Tools

HT120 Cembre | this lightweight and self contained crimping tool will accept the semi-circular slotted dies, common to most 130 kN tools.
It is particularly suitable for installing crimp type electrical connectors for overhead line applications.
