Hand-held hydraulic cable cutters
Hand-held hydraulic cable cutters for copper, aluminium and steel armouring
Our hand-held hydraulic cable cutters have been specially developed for the powerful cutting of armoured and non-armoured copper and aluminium cables. Some models are also suitable for steel armoured cables. Please refer to the relevant product specification.
Efficient cutting technology thanks to hydraulics
Depending on the area of application and handling preference, you can choose between versions with two-stage hydraulics (with fast feed for accelerated cutting cycles) or single-stage hydraulics (particularly light and compact). Both versions allow you to work with minimum effort.
Stable cutting results
If the right tool is selected, the round cable geometry is largely retained - a significant advantage for applications that require an unchanged cable shape after cutting (e.g. for reconnections or connections).
Typical areas of application
Hand-held hydraulic cable cutters are primarily used in network construction, energy supply, the railway sector and in industry - wherever work needs to be mobile, independent of power sources and yet powerful.
Frequently asked questions about hand-hydraulic cable cutters
For which cable types are hand-hydraulic cable cutters suitable?
The tools are suitable for cutting both armoured and non-armoured copper and aluminium cables. Some models are also suitable for steel-armoured cables. Please observe the manufacturer's specifications for maximum cutting capacity.
What is the difference between single-stage and two-stage hydraulics?
With two-stage hydraulics, there is initially a fast feed, which changes to a powerful cutting phase under load. This speeds up the work process. Single-stage hydraulics, on the other hand, have a simpler design and are lighter in weight, making them suitable for mobile applications.
Does the cable remain round after the cut?
Yes, with the right choice of tool, the cable will not be deformed. This is particularly important if the cable is to be further processed or connected after cutting.
Are there models with an insulated handle or protective function?
Some models have insulated handles or corresponding protective covers to increase safety when handling de-energised cables. These features can be found in the technical data of the respective products.
