south central MN | I have a custom crimp 105 they are made in Illinois. If you know how to use a dial indicator and know how to research the crimp dimensions for different manufacturers hose ends then this machine is for you. If you want a Crimper for those that don’t educate them selves on how to properly make hose assemblies and verify each crimp to see if it meets specs then you really should not use any machine and have them made for you.
With this machine I can crimp specialty fittings for race cars, (BMRS.net) or on farm equipment I use Gates mostly with the G series megacrimp ends on Gates hose, also can do discount hydraulics hose and ends, and Dayco hose and ends. Weather head is now going to full crimp on their new ends and hose so I could do these also.
The Custom Crimp 105 can do up to 1 inch 2 wire hose or up to 3/4 inch 4 wire hose. I find if you need hose assemblies bigger then this you just get them from implement or parts store since the hose ends become so specialized and expensive.
I get my Gates mostly over the internet from WBC industrial out of Colorado. I use discount hydraulics on older equipment or on sprayer booms where lengths are so long to outer cylinders. Gates has an app for iPhone to get the proper crimp dimensions for their hose and ends. I think the app is called ecrimp. You put in what series of hose, what size of hose and what series of ends and it will tell you the final crimp dimension
What ever you use learn the critical dimensions for the finished crimps. Hydraulic failures kill people. | |
