Hydraulic Hose Crimper

Crimp 4-wire hydraulic hoses from ½ inch (6.35 mm) to 2 inches (51 mm) safely and easily with the Uniflex hydraulic hose crimper from Hydraulic & Automation Warehouse (HAW).

This reliable hydraulic crimper supports accurate hose assembly for demanding applications across construction, agriculture, manufacturing, mining and transport.

 

Your reliable, powerful hose crimping solution

Manufactured by Uniflex-Hydraulik GmbH specifically for HAW, our UG20 and UG32 hydraulic crimping tools are tailored for effective crimping of wire helix industrial hoses across the African market.

Our hydraulic hose crimping machines come standard with a quick die-change tool, helping you interchange the hose crimper’s die sets easily and quickly.

As the official distributor of Uniflex hydraulic hose crimpers and accessories in Africa, HAW holds this range of hydraulic crimper tools ex-stock, facilitating fast and efficient delivery. The range includes crimp hose fittings and adapters for reliable hose assembly.

Features:

  • Crimp size: 6.35 to 51 mm
  • Crimp force: 190 – 250 kN/ton
  • Max. crimping range: 100 mm
  • 220 V & 380 V power options
  • Low-noise operation: 69 dBA
  • 2 die types are provided

Greaseless Crimpers

We offer greaseless crimpers by special order, and stock greased hydraulic hose crimping machine models from Uniflex.

Choosing a greaseless hydraulic hose crimping tool requires significantly less maintenance than traditional grease-dependent variants, minimising downtime in busy workshops.

These innovative machines are ideal for strict environments where absolute cleanliness and hygiene are essential – such as food, pharmaceutical, or specialised manufacturing. Utilising advanced technology, a greaseless hydraulic crimper machine operates cleanly without attracting abrasive workplace dust or debris.

Unlike our standard UG range – which is held ex-stock for immediate distribution across Africa – a greaseless hydraulic pipe crimping tool turnaround time from order to delivery is between 4 and 6 weeks.

HAW How To....Hose Assembly:

Frequently asked questions:

What is a hydraulic crimper?
A hydraulic crimper is a high-pressure mechanical tool used to attach metal fittings to the ends of flexible hoses or pipes. By applying intense, uniform radial force, it compresses the matching metal sleeve permanently onto the hose layers, ensuring a completely secure connection for fluid power assembly.
What are the different types of crimping tools?
Crimping equipment is primarily split into mechanical or fluid-driven systems. Mechanical units rely entirely on hand power for light maintenance, whereas a fluid-powered hydraulic hose crimping tool uses high-pressure cylinders to deliver the massive, consistent compression force needed for tough industrial or mining assemblies.
How do hydraulic hose crimper models work?
A modern hydraulic hose crimper operates by driving a ring of individual die segments inward towards a central point. As fluid pressure forces the cylinder forward, the dies apply equal, concentrated force around a metal ferrule, squeezing it tightly until it grips the braided reinforcement layers.
 
What are the advantages of a hydraulic hose crimping machine?
Using a dedicated hydraulic hose crimping machine provides unmatched safety, strict leak prevention, and permanent structural integrity for high-pressure systems. These machines allow operators to manufacture or repair hoses to exact factory tolerances, eliminating the high risks of joint failure and costly field downtime.
What industries use a hydraulic pipe crimping machine?
An industrial hydraulic pipe crimping machine is vital across sector lines, especially where heavy machinery relies on fluid power. The primary users include the heavy equipment, civil construction, agriculture, transport, automotive, oil and gas, and mining industries where high-pressure hoses endure constant mechanical stress.
How to choose the right hydraulic hose crimper?
To choose the correct hydraulic hose crimper machine, select a unit based on the specific diameters and hose styles your facility processes. You must balance your workload requirements between a stationary workshop setup – like an electric unit – and a highly mobile field setup, such as a portable hydraulic hose crimper.
