EXHIBITOR PROFILE HILTI
Hilti is launching a range of pipe press tools.
STAND D30 Products with power
Hilti will unveil several exciting additions aimed at the tool hire market. Alan Guthrie looks at some of the highlights.
Pride of place on Hilti’s stand will go to the manufacturer’s new DSH 600-X petrol cut-off saw which will receive its official launch at the Show. Walid Hussain, National Tool Hire Manager (UK) of Hilti (Gt. Britain) Ltd says the product has been eight years in development and that it offers benefits in performance and productivity.
The DSH 600-X cut-off saw can be used with a compact pump attachment.
The tool accepts
12in-diameter blades and Hilti claims that it offers the cutting capability of a 14in equivalent. It can reach a maximum depth of 120mm which equates to thickness of a brick wall with a layer of plaster, increasing operational efficiency. The saw, which weighs 9.2kg, has an automatic choke and a cyclonic filter. A fast blade-stop mechanism is designed to stop the blade spinning within five seconds.
The DSH 600-X can be connected to the new DSH-P water pump for dust suppression. This is driven by the tool itself and can suck water from a bucket or, even, a puddle if there is no convenient mains supply. Walid Hussain points out that, as with other Hilti tools, the tool can benefit from the manufacturer’s Fleet Management programme whereby a fixed monthly charge covers servicing and repairs for three years.
The VC 60M-X vacuum has twin motors for extra suction.
The DCH 300-X electric concrete saw was launched at last year’s Show, but can now be used with the new VC 60M-X vacuum. This 60-litre capacity M-Class unit has dual motors for extra suction and this means that, when the automatic filter cleaning system activates, there is
45
virtually no loss of performance. Two tools can be connected simultaneously via a hose splitter.
Another exciting new development is Hilti’s range of NPR 22V pipe press tools, comprising two models and a selection of jaws for work with carbon steel, copper, multi-layer composite, copper, PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) and stainless steel pipes. Weighing just 1.7kW, the NPR 19-A is capable of a press force of 19kN and completes each press within a cycle time of three to four seconds. The NPR 32A weighs 3.5kg and has a press force of 32kN, typically taking seven seconds per cycle. The tools can be used on pipes of up to 40mm and 75mm diameter respectively, and will not start if the battery does not have enough charge to complete a cycle.
The jaws come with a combined Hilti Connect and Hilti ON!Track tag which allows users to check the service history and status of a tool using a special app, as well as being able to undertake bulk inventory and stock checks of equipment returned to a depot, via Bluetooth connectivity over distances up to 30m.
The battery-powered TE 60-A36 is claimed to offer performance similar to its corded counterpart.
Also likely to arouse hirers’ interest is the powerful new TE 60-A36, a cordless 36V version of the popular TE 60 SDS Max combi-hammer which is said to offer the same performance as its mains counterpart thanks to a mighty 9.0Ah battery. The tool has been re-designed to optimise airflow over the battery, and quoted HAV levels are 7.8m/s2 and 9.1m/s2
for chiselling and drilling respectively. Hilti says the
TE 60-A36 can drill holes of 20mm diameter over an equivalent length of 5.6m, or of 40mm to a 1.8m depth - an impressive level of performance which is another reason why you should check out the company’s stand.
