Hydraulic hose crimping machines are used to join compatible hydraulic hoses and fittings by compressing the fitting to a specified crimp dimension. The correct crimping machine, die set, and adjustment are essential for consistent hose assembly quality, repeatable production, and reliable operation.
Hidroman offers hose crimping solutions ranging from portable manual crimpers for on-site repairs to heavy-duty machines for hoses up to 6 inches and digitally controlled equipment for production environments.
The product range includes manual hand-pump models, air-powered crimpers, 12 V and 24 V mobile machines, electric-powered units, AutoCal models, and advanced touchscreen-controlled systems.
A hydraulic hose crimping machine compresses a compatible fitting around a hose to achieve the required crimp diameter. During the process, the machine's dies close around the fitting in a controlled manner.
Crimping force alone does not determine whether a hose assembly is suitable for an application. Hose construction, fitting design, die type, target crimp diameter, and the manufacturer's crimping instructions must all be considered.
Hydraulic hose crimping machines are used in:
Hydraulic hose manufacturing and assembly
Mobile hydraulic service vehicles
Construction and agricultural equipment maintenance
Industrial hose assembly workshops
OEM production lines
Large-diameter industrial hose assembly
Production processes requiring repeatable crimp quality
The H16P is a portable hose crimper designed for on-site hose repairs and field assembly. Its compact design, carrying handle, and 2-meter hose make it easier to bring the crimper to the workpiece. A hand pump or air-powered pump can be selected as the power source.
The machine is designed with field ergonomics in mind. It must be used only with compatible hose and fitting combinations.

Choosing the correct hose crimper requires more than checking crimping force or maximum hose size. Hose construction, fitting design, target crimp diameter, production volume, and working environment must all be considered.
Key selection criteria include:
Hose size and construction: Identify the hose types, inside diameters, outside diameters, and construction.
Fitting compatibility: Confirm that the machine can process the intended fitting and connection type.
Crimping range: Ensure the machine covers the required finished crimp dimensions.
Die compatibility: Select the correct die family and size.
Production volume: Determine whether the application is field repair, workshop service, or serial production.
Drive system: Choose between a manual pump, compressed air, 12/24 V power, or an electric motor according to the operating environment.
Control system: Evaluate manual, Basic, AutoCal, or CTS options according to process requirements.
Calibration and traceability: Consider the need for repeatable crimping and production records.
Maintenance and service: Review die access, spare-parts availability, and service requirements.
Reliable hose assemblies depend on correct machine selection, proper assembly procedures, and inspection.
Use only dies compatible with the selected machine.
Set the crimp diameter according to the hose and fitting manufacturer's instructions.
Do not assume that the machine's maximum crimping force makes it suitable for every hose assembly.
Inspect completed assemblies against the applicable technical requirements.
Validate high-pressure hose assemblies using suitable test equipment and safe procedures.
Follow the machine manufacturer's maintenance and calibration instructions.
Hidroman's hose crimping machine range includes options for on-site service and repair, heavy-duty hose crimping, and production-line applications.
To identify the appropriate model, evaluate hose size, hose type, fitting design, required crimp diameter, daily production volume, available power source, and required control features.
Hidroman provides application-focused solutions for hose crimping equipment and hydraulic system components.
