Hydraulic and battery-powered hole punches for material thicknesses over 3 mm

For demanding punching work on steel beams, flat material and sectional steel, KW Hydraulik offers powerful hydraulic hole punches as well as modern battery-powered hole punches and electronic versions. These tools are specially designed for material thicknesses of more than 3 mm up to 25 mm and enable deformation-free punching even under construction site conditions.

Hole punching - alternative to drilling

Our electric or battery-operated hydraulic models are up to 2.5 times faster than conventional drilling when punching holes (e.g. Ø14 mm in 10 mm S235 steel), with significantly less thermal stress on the workpiece. This not only reduces energy consumption, but also post-processing of the edges.

Technical features at a glance:

  • Material thickness: Suitable for steel up to 25 mm, depending on model and hole diameter
  • Hole sizes: Round, long and special shapes can be realised (e.g. Ø 10-36 mm)
  • Punching force: Up to 180 kN for battery-powered hydraulic models
  • Punching time: Approx. 4-6 seconds depending on diameter and material
  • Drive: Optionally battery-operated, electric or via external hydraulic units
  • Mobility: Compact designs with ergonomic handles, also for working overhead
  • Compatibility: Suitable press inserts are available for many models

Reliability for daily use on construction sites

Our hydraulic hole punches are designed for the toughest operating conditions: Whether for bridge construction, rail maintenance or hall construction - the devices impress with their long service life, high repeat accuracy and minimal maintenance. The battery-powered versions with two-stage hydraulics offer maximum flexibility for mobile applications.

Frequently asked questions about hydraulic hole punches

When does a hydraulic hole punch make more sense than drilling?

For material thicknesses over 3 mm and frequently recurring hole patterns, a hole punch is more efficient, faster and more precise than drilling, especially for solid steel profiles.

What drive types are available?

Depending on the location and flexibility requirements, you can choose between electro-hydraulic, battery-powered or externally powered versions with a hydraulic pump.

What hole shapes are possible?

In addition to round holes, slotted holes or special shapes can also be realised with suitable inserts. These are ideal for connecting plates, beams or flanges.

Are suitable accessories such as punches and moulds available?

Yes, we offer an extensive range of hole inserts for different hole diameters, materials and punching geometries.
