EP-60SA | 60 Ton Single-Acting Hydraulic Crimping Press | ACSR & ACAR Conductors
60 Ton Single-Acting Hydraulic Press | EP-60SA Series — Product Overview
The EP-60SA 60 Ton Single-Acting Hydraulic Crimping Press is a heavy-duty compression press head engineered for demanding transmission, substation, and utility infrastructure applications. Designed to deliver 60 tons of hydraulic force, this press provides reliable, high-capacity compression for large ACSR and ACAR conductors, making it ideal for installing compression sleeves, dead-ends, jumper terminals, and heavy-duty lugs and splices.
Powered by any standard 10,000 PSI hydraulic pump, the EP-60SA offers exceptional performance without the need for batteries or self-contained power packs. Its rugged yet portable design makes it well suited for both field crews and shop environments, delivering the strength required for large conductor installations while remaining easy to transport and position on the job site.
The removable die cap and base simplify cable loading and positioning, reducing setup time and improving productivity during repetitive compression work. Designed to accept Alcoa® and Burndy® "L" shell-type dies, the press provides outstanding compatibility with widely used die systems, allowing crews to work with existing tooling while maintaining consistent, high-quality crimps.
A built-in lift ring supports aerial and overhead applications, while the durable construction ensures dependable performance in the toughest utility environments. Backed by a 5-year warranty (with required press inspection), the EP-60SA is a dependable solution for professionals who require maximum compression force and long-term reliability.
