Klauke Tools For Solar Park Installations
Always a secure connection…
Since 1960, Klauke have been a go-to partner for electrical connection materials. Cable cutting and crimping tools, manufactured by Klauke and distributed by Thorne & Derrick, are renowned for their high-quality in cable crimping, cutting and punching.
Klauke perform testing regularly, both in their in-house laboratory and at independent test centers – this is how they ensure that all products offered are of outstanding quality, fully compatible and combined into a perfect system. The extensive Klauke portfolio demonstrates expertise in solutions in electrical connection technology from 0.14 to 1,000 mm², for almost every challenge in electrical installation.
As a trendsetter, Klauke have created their own cable lug series (the R-Series), and work closely with key customers when it comes to customised individual solutions for various applications. In cable lug manufacturing, Klauke always choose the best materials, using high-purity copper and aluminum, which ensure a perfect electrical connection. The soft copper ensures an optimised material flow during crimping and reduces the effort required.
Battery operated cable crimping tools are made from the highest quality materials, rust proof and surface finished with a reputation for providing a long service live, consistently delivering safe electrical cable crimping connections for low and high voltage applications, 6-400sqmm.
