The new hydraulic pump is designed for torquing applications where hydraulic wrenches must be driven manually or through continuous autocycle operation. In addition, a new hand control pendant design — enhanced for operator comfort — enables the user to control the pump for long periods and helps reduce fatigue.

Other features include:

  • 'Plug and Play' capability for user customization and a hand pendant that seamlessly interfaces to give remote control during torquing.
  • LCD models provide a host of information, including digital pressure visibility, torque, run-time data and diagnostics.
  • Autocycle technology option that speeds up operation times, reducing operator fatigue and consistently achieving applied torque levels.

Modularity and ease of use are key to the PE60 series. The platform has been designed from the ground up to accommodate a wide array of valves and control elements allowing the customer to configure the pump to their exact requirements, such as single and four tool manifold options, without the need to implement a "custom" design process.

In addition, standard 'Plug and Play' accessories, such as a roll cage and oil cooler, are now easily installable by the customer without requiring factory pump modification.
