60 Ton Titanium Single-Acting Hydraulic Crimping Press

The EP-60WT Titanium 60-Ton Hydraulic Compression Press is the ultimate solution for professionals in the transmission and distribution industry. Engineered with precision and built for performance, this tool stands out as the lightest 60-ton press in its class, making it ideal for demanding applications such as ACSR and ACAR cable compression. Its lightweight design, coupled with the strength of titanium, makes it a game-changer for operators seeking both power and portability.

Designed to handle high-capacity cables, the EP-60WT effortlessly compresses sleeves and lugs on ACSR (Aluminum Conductor Steel-Reinforced) and ACAR (Aluminum Conductor Alloy Reinforced) transmission and distribution cables, while also being ideal for substation construction. Whether you're working on the ground or performing helicopter line installations, this press allows for easy maneuverability in situations where heavier steel presses would be impractical.

The removable die cap simplifies cable insertion, significantly improving workflow efficiency. Moreover, the press is equipped with a durable oblong lifting ring, allowing for smooth operation with a lifting rig when needed. With compatibility across any 10,000 psi pumping source, this hydraulic press provides versatility on various job sites, as long as proper oil capacity is maintained.

Another key benefit of the EP-60WT series is its broad compatibility with industry-standard dies, including those used with Alcoa or Burndy 60-ton presses. For custom die needs, Huskie Tools offers the ability to manufacture dies to meet specific requirements.
