Greenlee, exhibiting in Booth #322 at the 2026 International Lineman's Expo, will present its new EK1240SLX 12-Ton Crimper for the line trade.

The tool delivers 12-ton output for heavy-duty electrical connectors commonly used in electrical applications. Designed as an update to one of the company's most widely used crimpers, it incorporates targeted weight-reduction improvements that improve the tool's overall balance and reduce fatigue during repetitive crimping.

IntelliCRIMP Technology monitors crimping force on every cycle and provides visual and audible alerts if pressure falls below specification, helping ensure consistent, reliable terminations.

The product also features:

• Lightweight Head Design - 20% lighter head compared to the previous model, improving maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during repetitive use
• Extended Tool Life - Delivers 35% longer tool life compared to the previous generation, enhancing long-term performance and reliability
• Improved Crimp Consistency - Integrated grooved guide maintains proper ram alignment, ensuring repeatable, uniform crimps every time
• Automatic Retraction Stop (ARS) - Retracts only as needed between crimps to shorten cycle time and increase productivity
• Die Compatibility - Designed to use both P‑ and U‑style crimping dies
