Gates Hydraulic Hose Crimping Tool

Gates Hydraulic Hose Crimping Tools: Precision Built Into Every Crimp

When it comes to hydraulic hose assembly, the integrity of a crimp can be the difference between reliable operation and a costly system failure. Gates has spent over a century engineering fluid power solutions, and that deep expertise flows directly into their line of hydraulic hose crimping tools. What sets Gates apart isn't just the quality of the tools themselves — it's that the crimpers, hoses, and couplings are engineered as a unified system, where every component is tested and validated to work together.

A System-Based Approach to Crimping

Each Gates hose and coupling is rigorously tested for compatibility, ensuring that every connection meets the highest standards of safety and performance. Gates self-assembly crimping machines are designed to replicate factory-quality crimps on-site, and with a system-based approach, all components — hose, coupling, and crimper — work together seamlessly. This philosophy means that when you use a Gates crimper with Gates hose and couplings, you're not guessing at settings or compatibility — you're working within a validated assembly system.

eCrimp Technology and Smart Crimping

One of Gates' most significant differentiators in the crimping space is their proprietary eCrimp™ platform. The eCrimp database contains the latest specifications for Gates hydraulic and industrial hose products, including crimping instructions, crimp diameter, and maintenance and troubleshooting information — and with Gates Cortex Intelligence, eCrimp is embedded with continuous updates available via Wi-Fi, ensuring you always have access to the most current product and crimp data.

The GC20 Crimper with Cortex Intelligence, the gold medal winner of the 2020 Leap Award in the hydraulics category, combines the reliability of the Gates PC707™ with eCrimp™ technology. The Gates GC20 with Gates Cortex™ Intelligence brings smart crimper technology and real-time connectivity, providing the latest up-to-date product crimp specifications, settings, and remote support for ultimate operational efficiency.

From Portable to High-Capacity

Gates offers crimping solutions across a wide range of use cases. The MobileCrimp 4-20 is a portable problem-solver for remote job sites — compact yet durable, it is designed to bring hydraulic repair power right where it is needed, built tough for fieldwork and capable of delivering precise crimps on the spot. At the other end of the spectrum, the GC96TSi crimper is built for high-capacity demands, crimping up to -96 assemblies, with an advanced digital interface that simplifies even the most intricate setups, letting teams achieve flawless, repeatable crimps with just a few adjustments.

For field technicians who need a lightweight option, the GC16XD Mini Crimper is designed for remote job sites, weighing only 44 pounds, and combines the performance and speed of a powered pump with the convenience of a hand pump.

Why Gates Crimpers Are Trusted Across Industries

From hydraulic system adjustment and maintenance to making factory-quality assemblies in the field, Gates manufactures hydraulic equipment and hose crimpers designed to improve operational capacity and system service life. Their crimpers are used across agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and construction — wherever a hydraulic failure is not an option. Gates hydraulic crimping solutions eliminate weak points and provide an exact, leak-resistant fit. Whether you work in a high-volume hose shop or need a reliable tool for on-site repairs, Gates delivers the precision and confidence that demanding applications require.
