Slingco’s Hydraulic Crimping Tools are designed to crimp sleeves and lugs on ACSR and ACAR transmission & distribution cables using dies that meet the standards of the utility industry. Their crimping tools are ideal for use in constructing substations and transmission lines. The Single-Acting Crimping Tool uses hydraulic pressure to advance the ram into position, and an internal spring to return the ram to the original position. All Hydraulic Crimping Tools come in a steel carrying case, and are lightweight and portable. They accept Slingco S60 Dies, or any shell-type dies used with Alcoa or Burndy 60-ton crimping tools.
