Enerpac is offering its new PPH-Series Hydraulic Pin Puller, which provides an efficient, safe, and versatile method for the removal of joint pins during the maintenance of heavy machinery.
With a 110-year legacy, Enerpac is a global market leader in high-pressure hydraulic tools, controlled force products, portable machining, on-site services and solutions for precise positioning of heavy loads.
These complete kits use hydraulic power to remove joint pins on trucks, service trucks, excavators, and plant equipment. Until now, operators have relied on pin removal using unsafe methods, such as torching, lancing, or hammering, all of which risk irreparable damage to the joint pin, resulting in extra costs and leading to longer downtime.
However, with a pulling capacity of 40 to 66 tons, the PPH-Series Pin Puller provides a safer and more efficient removal of joint pins up to 11.9 inches long. It uses a powerful Enerpac hydraulic cylinder to extract pins with precision and minimal damage.
Supplied in a portable, wheeled carry case, the PPH-Series Pin Puller Kits, PPH40 and PPH66, can handle a diverse range of pin-pulling tasks.
Each set includes three stacking and locking patented C-Sleeves, with the option of adding an extra two for longer pins up to 20 inches long. The C-shape design creates a fitment around the flag of heavy machinery pins, providing precise and safe pin removal.
To improve operator safety, each kit contains a shackle for lifting via a crane or lifting system. The column sections have multiple hoist points, designed to give the user more control over the balance of the tool while it is suspended. The kit also contains a Quick Nut for a fast attachment to threaded rods, with alternative thread sizes available to purchase separately.

Safer joint pin removal with the Enerpac PPH-Series pin puller kit.
‘Quick Nut’ for damaged nut threads
Existing solutions use regular-threaded nuts that require time to run down the rod and are unable to be used on damaged treads. However, the PPH-Series kits are engineered to streamline even the most demanding pin-pulling projects. The innovative split Quick Nut makes it easier and faster to manipulate damaged threads. The easy one-handed closure is quick to assemble around a rod and avoids running the nut over damaged threads.
“Safety on the job site is paramount, which is why these kits offer a safer alternative than old-school, traditional methods involving sparks, heat, hammering, and loose parts. We wanted to provide a safe and efficient way for a single operator to extract pins from construction vehicles that eliminated damage to parts but also provided a lightweight and portable tool that was practical to move about on-site. The transport and assembly of the PPH-Series Pin Puller Kits are made easier by the robust aluminum construction of the Enerpac Hydraulic Cylinder,” stated Ejnar Christensen, the National Accounts Manager with Enerpac.
Each PPH-Series Kit includes three column sections that lock together. Multiple column sections can be stacked together, depending on the length of the joint pin. Up to a maximum of five Column sections can be locked together.
When safety and precision matter, elite professionals in industries such as aerospace, infrastructure, manufacturing, mining, oil & gas, and power generation rely on Enerpac for quality tools, services, and solutions.
