Eaton Hose Crimp Machines
Hose crimping is a vital part of hydraulic hose construction. Without a proper crimp the hose can fail by either over crimping or under crimping. In either case, this can lead to a dangerous and expensive situation. Eaton offers several models of crimping machines that are designed to ensure the best crimp possible.
ET1000
The ET1000 is a portable crimper from Eaton that is built to crimp all 1-wire and 2-wire braid hose fittings of up to 1-1/4 inch in diameter and all 4-wire spiral fittings of up to 1 inch.
The ET1000 is the most economical of all the crimpers offered by Eaton and one of the easiest to operate. The ET1000 uses a similar design style to that of the FT1370, but it does not use the ProCrimp die cages.
Instead the ET1000 implements a 2-piece half collet assembly for crimping. The ET1000 can be made to operate by a hand pump, air or hydraulic pump, or electrical power, making this crimper very versatile.
FT1380
The Aeroquip PROCRIMP FT1380 is designed to crimp more than 20 types of Eaton hose up to a diameter of 1 ¼ inch. The FT1380 features a digital display that allows users to set crimping specifications and program up to 10 crimp settings, as seen on this video:
The electronic controls also ensure that each crimp is accurate and solid, which helps to ensure that every hose fitting has been properly secured to the hose.
FT1390
The PROCRIMP FT1390 by Aeroquip is a stationary crimping machine, designed to crimp Eaton hose fittings up to 2 inches in diameter, including hose models that are made from 4 and 6 spiral wire.
The FT1390 features an electronic keypad that allows the user to specify the crimp diameter to ensure a solid crimp is achieved. Additional features of this Eaton hose fitting crimper include crimp die cages and a backstop fitting locator.
ET3000
The Aeroquip PROCRIMP FT1380 is designed to crimp more than 20 types of Eaton hose up to a diameter of 1 ¼ inch. The FT1380 features a digital display that allows users to set crimping specifications and program up to 10 crimp settings, as seen on this video:
The electronic controls also ensure that each crimp is accurate and solid, which helps to ensure that every hose fitting has been properly secured to the hose.

The Eaton ET3000 hose crimper has two ergonomic handles and a solid frame, which make this model easy to transport. In order to make the ET3000 even more accommodating, Eaton has developed it so that it can be powered using either a hand pump, air, hydraulics, or a 110-volt electrical connection.
