Description
Dull manual snappers mangle cable basket wire ends and produce sharp burrs that snag data conductors. The Greenlee Cable Tray Bolt Cutter kit shears twelve-millimeter mild steel rod and heavy wire tray without mechanical recoil. An 18-volt micro-hydraulic system produces seven tons of cutting force. Forcing these scissor blades through case-hardened alloy padlock shackles will chip jaw tips.
Precision-machined forged chrome-nickel tool steel jaws withstand extreme bending moments during off-center wire cuts. The hydraulic powerhead incorporates an 18-volt motor, precision eccentric radial pump, and internal fluid relief valve. A 350-degree rotating swivel yoke allows tool orientation around crowded structural struts and conduit banks. Sealed hydraulic circuits utilize synthetic fluid formulations that resist cavitation under continuous work cycles.
Bolt Cutter Kit Hardware Specs
Single-trigger controls manage automatic ram advance and rapid jaw reset motions. Slim head profiles slip between tightly spaced tray wires without bending adjacent structural runs.
- 12-millimeter cutting diameter capacity shears heavy wire tray and mild steel bolts cleanly
- 7-ton hydraulic thrust force delivers effortless metal severance in under three seconds
- 350-degree rotating cutter head accesses fasteners trapped behind structural wall channels
- Automatic retraction mechanism opens cutting jaws the instant material shear completes
- Quick-stop motor brake halts jaw travel instantly upon trigger release for operator safety
- Integrated LED workspace light illuminates dark ceiling corners and cable service corridors
- Balanced inline tool chassis reduces operator forearm strain during continuous overhead work
Hydraulic Dyno Load Telemetry
Dyno bench testing tracks electrical power consumption and hydraulic pressure spikes. The 18-volt motor pulls 2.7 amperes free-running, peaking at 21 amperes during twelve-millimeter mild steel cuts. Hydraulic pump pressure climbs from zero to 8300 PSI within 2.4 seconds. Cycle duration spans 2.7 seconds from trigger start to full jaw retraction. Acoustic sound meters register 74 dBA under load. The hydraulic cylinder block shows a nine-degree Fahrenheit rise after twenty cuts.
Field Service Boundaries And Care
Shearing Grade 8 suspension hardware exceeds tool capacity and fractures cutting jaw pivots. Demolition contractors cutting heavy rebar cages should choose heavy rebar cutters instead. Never operate the powerhead with loose jaw hinge bolts.
- Wipe grit off cutting jaw edges using a clean rag after outdoor work.
- Check jaw hinge bolts for loose thread torque every forty hours of use.
- Blow airborne dust out of motor housing vents using clean shop air.
