Enerpac’s new 26mm Chain Cutter is the lighter, single-acting, and smaller version of the 32mm (ECC32B). The capacity of this Chain Cutter makes it ideal for cutting 1/2″ chain for lifting, rugging, transport, marine and manufacturing applications.
The performance of heavy equipment and machinery is dependent on the reliability of every component. Whether in the factory or out in the field, the failure of a single mechanical element means downtime for repair or replacement. If the fix requires connecting or disconnecting hydraulic lines under pressure—and without fluid loss—rendering the machine operational presents unique challenges. The solution? Screw-to-connect quick couplings.
