The KE-Push Tool is specifically designed to tackle the most challenging draft key installations on standard E Type Couplers, where control and power are paramount.

 

When worn metal parts and tight tolerances, make traditional methods inefficient and dangerous, the KE-Push Tool delivers 10 tons of controlled force, ensuring that even the most stubborn keys are inserted safely and effectively.

 

As a complementary tool to our KE-Pull, the KE-Push addresses the installation phase, while the KE-Pull is focused on key removal. Together, they offer a comprehensive solution for all aspects of E Type Coupler draft key handling for maintenance and repairs.
