The Applications and Proper Uses of Hydraulic Cable Cutter




A hydraulic cable cutter is fundamentally used for cutting copper or aluminum power cables, support wires, overhead conductors in distribution and transmission lines. It is also very useful for other numerous industries and applications that require cutting.


It is available in a range of tools and equipment models including manual hydraulic cutters, battery hydraulic cutters, or remote hydraulic head cutters. The tool heads of a cable cutter also vary, which includes the guillotine head, scissor-type or ratchet-type head. While these tools are particularly designed to cut cables and wires, certain types can be used to cut even reinforcing bars or rebar.


Cable cutters come in a wide range of different sizes, shapes, and capabilities for different cutting jobs. The process can include materials from copper, aluminum, coaxial, or even television cables. Every manufacturer concentrates on the cutter’s design, versatility, and strength. No two pairs of cable cutters are the same and they come in various categories. One great option is the hydraulic cable cutter which is a specialized piece of cutting tool that can cut thick wires when properly used. As the name implies, this power cutter utilizes hydraulic pressure to work the blade and cut through thick cable wires when installing phone lines and other wire mesh cables.


No matter the type of material to be cut, it is always crucial to pay extra caution when using the cutting tool. Here are some helpful safety precautions when dealing with cutters.


  • Using the right cable cutter for the task because cable cutters are specially designed for certain sizes and types of material to be cut.

  • When using the cable cutter, make sure that you wear protective gloves and safety glasses to prevent potential injuries.

  • Always ensure that the hydraulic cable cutter is in good condition.

  • If the cutter you are using is heavily used daily, lubricate it properly, particularly the moving parts.


While cable cutters are intended to cut cables, they also play a significant role in cable installations and many other uses in the industry. AMAC Equipment is supplying many different types of these tools that suit various purposes you’ve got in mind.
