Danfoss Power Solutions has launched its ET500 lightweight crimper, a portable crimping machine that simplifies hydraulic hose field service and repair. The compact device is currently available in the Americas and is ideal for a variety of markets, including mining.
“As the world’s lightest -12 hose crimper, our new ET500 offers unmatched portability and industry-leading safety, making it the perfect machine for technicians on the go,” said Barb Thompson, product manager, Danfoss Power Solutions.
“Despite its lightweight, compact design, the ET500 delivers exceptional crimp performance, ensuring reliable hose assemblies every time.”
Danfoss said the ET500 crimper is approximately 33% lighter than other portable crimp machines in its class at 29 pounds. It surpasses industry safety directives for portable equipment weight limits, providing peace of mind to technicians and employers.
With dimensions of 13 x 7 x 6 inches, the ET500 offers superior maneuverability. Its compact design enables technicians to navigate tight spaces and work in confined areas with ease, noted the manufacturer, ensuring efficient crimping operations.
The ET500 is designed to crimp braided hose from -4 through -12 sizes and spiral hose from -6 through -10 sizes. The crimper is sold with the customer’s choice of pump kit and a new placement tooling package. Pump kit options include a hand pump, air/hydraulic pump, 110-V electric pump, 12-V DC electric pump, or 54-V battery pump. Bench mount and truck/wall mount brackets are also available. Tooling can also be ordered a la carte.
