What is it?

The HYDRA-RAM is a hydraulic emergency entry tool used by firefighters, rescue teams, and law enforcement to quickly and efficiently gain access to locked or barricaded areas. Its powerful hydraulic mechanism allows it to exert significant force to open doors, windows, and other barriers.

How is it used?

The HYDRA-RAM is placed against the barrier to be breached, and the user pumps the handle to generate hydraulic pressure. This pressure forces the jaws of the tool to open, applying up to 10,000 pounds of force to the barrier. The tool can be used in any position, including upside down, without affecting its operation.

Who uses it?

• Firefighters: For forcible entry during fire and rescue operations.
• Rescue Teams: For extrication and emergency response.
• Law Enforcement: For breaching doors and barriers during tactical operations.
