Key Features & Benefits
Hydraulic Force Application — Allows operators to apply controlled pushing or pulling force without manual striking, reducing fatigue and improving precision.
Single-Acting Design — Delivers controlled extension force (ram out) while relying on retraction springs or manual recovery for reset.
Compact & Portable — Built for field use, the Hydra Ram I balances power and weight for ease of carry and deployment.
Interoperable Mounting — Compatible with standard tool mounts, brackets, or handles for integration with existing equipment.
Safety & Control — Hydraulic operation minimizes shock loads and provides consistent, smooth force application — essential in delicate scenarios or rescue operations.
Durable Construction — Engineered with rugged materials and precision components to survive heavy-duty use on the fireground.
Typical Applications
Prying open doors, hatches, or locked enclosures
Creating gaps for ventilation or egress
Stabilizing structural elements during rescue or overhaul
Controlled pushing or jacking operations
Use in confined spaces where traditional bars cannot reach
