Description
Cembre B1350-CT 13T Battery Hydraulic Crimper
Generally, the Cembre B1350-CT Battery Hydraulic Crimper is a professional 132 kN cordless hydraulic crimping tool designed for high-force compression of electrical cable lugs and connectors up to 400 mm².
Also, powered by an 18V Li-Ion battery system, the B1350-CT combines a compact pistol-grip design with a rotating open C-head, fast two-stage hydraulic operation and electronic pressure monitoring for accurate, repeatable crimps.
Furthermore, designed for utilities, mining, industrial, rail, switchboard and electrical contracting applications, the B1350-CT is a high-performance 13 tonne battery crimper for users requiring reliable compression, traceable crimp data and compatibility with Cembre’s established 130 kN die system.
Cembre B1350-CT 132kN Battery Crimping Tool
Specifically, the B1350-CT develops a nominal crimping force of 132 kN and is suitable for copper, aluminium and other compatible compression connectors across a wide range of conductor sizes.
In particular, its open C-head provides easy access around cables and connectors and can be rotated to improve positioning in confined or awkward installations.
A two-stage hydraulic system provides rapid die advance until the connector is reached before automatically transitioning to the slower high-pressure crimping stage.
This reduces cycle time while maintaining the controlled force required for a consistent electrical connection.
OLED Display, Pressure Monitoring and Crimp Data Logging
Namely, the B1350-CT incorporates Cembre’s electronic pressure monitoring and SMARTOOL functionality to provide confirmation of each completed crimp.
The onboard display provides operating information including:
- Crimping force and pressure achieved
- Battery charge level
- Completed operating cycles
- Remaining cycles before scheduled maintenance
- Tool identification and operating information
Consequently, crimp data can be recorded and downloaded, providing valuable traceability for utilities, mining companies, contractors and infrastructure projects where completed electrical connections need to be documented.

Cembre 130kN Crimping Die Compatibility
Indeed, one of the major advantages of the B1350-CT is compatibility with the established range of Cembre 130 kN semi-circular crimping dies.
This makes the tool particularly attractive for organisations already using Cembre hydraulic crimpers and dies, as existing compatible die sets can continue to be used.
Engineering Supplies can assist with selecting the correct dies for:
- Copper cable lugs
- Aluminium cable lugs
- Copper links and connectors
- Aluminium connectors
- C-crimp connectors
- Utility and overhead line connectors
- Specialist electrical compression fittings

- Cable and connector capability up to 400 mm²
- 18V battery hydraulic operation
- Two 5.2Ah batteries supplied
- Fast two-stage hydraulic cycle
- Open rotating C-head
- Electronic pressure verification
- OLED operating display
- SMARTOOL crimp data logging
- Compatible with Cembre 130 kN die systems
- Low vibration and operator-friendly pistol design
- Australian spare parts, servicing and technical support
B1350-CT vs Milwaukee M18HCCT120C and Izumi Battery Crimpers
Customers comparing professional battery hydraulic crimpers may also consider tools such as the Milwaukee M18HCCT120C or Izumi REC-6431.
By comparison, the Cembre B1350-CT provides a nominal 132 kN crimping force, compared with the 120 kN class of the Milwaukee M18HCCT120C and Izumi REC-6431.
The B1350-CT also offers Cembre’s established 130 kN die compatibility, electronic pressure monitoring, onboard display and SMARTOOL crimp-data recording.
As a result, for organisations already using Cembre hydraulic tooling or requiring a complete crimping system with locally stocked dies, spare parts and technical support, the B1350-CT provides a strong professional alternative to Milwaukee and Izumi battery crimpers.
