American Eagle Introduces Hydraulic Pressure Intensifier

Jan. 27, 2014

Garner, Iowa American Eagle Accessories Group is introducing the HPI-10K Hydraulic Pressure Intensifier. The unit is used to power hydraulic tools and jacks for the tire service, utility, mechanics truck and emergency vehicle industry.

The American Eagle® HPI-10K utilizes the hydraulic flow from a host truck or attaches to an independent hydraulic power unit. The HPI-10K produces dual circuit hydraulic flow of .5 GPM to 2 GPM @ 10,000 PSI to operator selected hydraulic tools. Because the HPI-10K is a dual circuit machine, operators can use a single function tool, such as a bead breaker or small ram, while also being capable of operating a dual function tool, such as a large jack or ram, which offers two ports.

Controlling the HPI-10K is done through a standard radio remote control that allows the operator to control hydraulic flow in increments of 25%, 50%, 75% or 100%. The HPI-10K is the only hydraulic pressure intensifier on the market with a radio remote that allows the operator to adjust the flow without returning to the unit. This means the operator can stay as near or as far from the tool as they deem necessary. It also offers manual controls on the unit as well as pressure gauges showing the output pressure going to each tool.

The HPI-10K includes an independent 5-gallon reservoir with a return filter. This system design keeps tool hydraulic oil isolated from the host vehicles hydraulic system.

“We developed the HPI-10K to offer customers a robust and dependable power source for their high-pressure hydraulic tools,” says Tim Davison, product manager. “Typically these tools are controlled with air-powered foot pumps that are susceptible to freezing up in cold temperatures due to moisture in the compressed air.” Davison continues, “Since the new HPI-10K is hydraulically operated, it will not freeze up in cold weather conditions.” Davison concludes, “We also offer an optional hydraulic oil heater which warms the oil going to the hydraulic tool, making it operate more efficiently in cold temperatures.”

The HPI-10K will be on display at the Con Expo/CON AGG show in Las Vegas, in the American Eagle booth,South Hall booth 61416.
