Description
Protect yourself against accidental phase-to-ground brush contact while terminating distribution taps on crowded utility poles. The Greenlee EK628VX11 Insulated Indent Crimper features a certified 1000-volt insulated frame with a specialized CJ22 indent jaw. It delivers certified electrical protection, though operators must always follow OSHA minimum approach distance regulations while working.
High-dielectric composite material insulates the tool barrel against 1000-volt brush contact, paired with a forged CJ22 indent jaw that endures six tons of compressive force. Powered by an 18-volt DC motor, the compact hydraulic pump generates 10000 PSI operating pressure inside an insulated housing. The tool with battery weighs 7.2 lbs, measuring 16.0 inches long by 3.2 inches wide by 4.5 inches high with a rotating head.
Key Features of Greenlee EK628VX11
Linemen looking to buy Greenlee EK628VX11 crimpers make safe overhead taps and service drops near energized distribution lines. Industrial equipment pricing reflects the 1000-volt dielectric barrier, intelligent pressure electronics, and proven CJ22 indent jaw.
- Certified 1000-volt dielectric insulation helps protect against accidental brush contact.
- CJ22 indent jaw crimps service entrance sleeves and taps without loose dies.
- Generates six tons of hydraulic force for reliable distribution connections.
- Intelli-CRIMP technology monitors cycle pressure and gives visual pass feedback.
- Head rotates 350 degrees to access angled conductors in cramped bucket workspaces.
- Two-stage hydraulic pump delivers rapid ram advance to cut cycle times.
- Slim inline profile fits into tight spaces between overhead crossarm wires.
- 18-volt lithium battery platform provides high crimp capacity per charge.
Insulated Indent Force Bench Metrics
Compressing service entrance sleeves in the CJ22 jaw draws 9600 PSI hydraulic line pressure. Ram cycle duration completes full connector indentation in 3.0 seconds flat from trigger pull. Jaw cheek deflection measures under 0.0018 inch under peak six-ton load. Dielectric insulation testing confirms zero voltage leakage under 1000-volt AC potential across the orange barrel housing. Hydraulic oil temperature stabilizes at eighteen degrees Fahrenheit above ambient levels after thirty cycles on utility staging benches without fluid weepage around the ram seal.
Bucket Line Ergonomics Negative Filter
The slender insulated barrel balances in one hand aloft, making overhead pole line terminations manageable inside crowded bucket trucks. The trigger actuates through heavy insulated rubber gauntlets, while green LED indicators confirm complete cycle tonnage. Do not buy this insulated tool as a substitute for personal protective equipment or proper OSHA cover-up gear.
- Inspect the orange insulated barrel for scratches or cuts before every shift.
- Wipe conductive road grime and grease off the jaw faces after each shift.
- Test jaw pivot pins for smooth mechanical movement once a week.
