Hydraulic Cable Crimping Tool 16–300mm², 18–20 Tonne

The YATO YT-22862 hydraulic crimping tool delivers 18–20 tonnes of crimping force for fitting terminals to electrical cables and crimping steel ropes. Its manually operated hydraulic actuator reduces the effort required when working with large terminals, while the rotating head helps position the tool in confined spaces. Suitable for copper cable terminals from 16–300 mm² and aluminium cable terminals from 16–240 mm², it features split crimping dies, a die-retaining pin and an ergonomic handle covering for a comfortable grip.
