Hand Operated Pump
A hand operated hydraulic pump powers crimping heads and cutters on sites with no electricity. Cable jointers, power contractors and substation teams connect it by hose to a hydraulic crimping head and work the handle from a safe distance.

The range includes a hydraulic hand pump and a foot operated hydraulic pump, which leaves both hands free to hold the head on the lug. It is the simplest way to run heavy hydraulic heads without a generator on site. For an all-in-one tool, see our hydraulic crimping tool.
Hydraulic Pump for Crimping Head and Cutter Work
A hydraulic pump for crimping head work needs steady pressure and a clean release, so the head opens fully after each crimp. A hand hydraulic pump suits jobs where you can kneel beside the cable, while a foot pump is easier for long runs of lugs. Match the hose coupling to your head or cutter, and look up the product page for the pressure rating and oil capacity. Keep the hose clean and the couplings capped when not in use, so dirt stays out of the oil.
Use the pump with a hydraulic cable cutter for thick cables, and fit lugs from our cable lugs range. See all our hydraulic tools in one place. Ashwin Tools accepts returns within 10 days, and hydraulic tool dealers looking for regular stock can join our dealership programme.
