Only 11 lbs. and 13 inches long. Smaller and lighter than many simple steel forcible entry tools that rely strictly on leverage, inertia, and strength of the operator.
The HYDRA-RAM is the first and only one-piece integrated, hydraulic forcible entry tool. No hoses or auxiliary pumps to leak or trip on.
10,000lbs. of force is presented at 138lbs. of pumping to acquire 3/4″ a stroke to a maximum thrust opening of 4 inches.
While others take 30 to 40 pumps to gain full extension, the HYDRA-RAM does it in 8.
The HYDRA-RAM can be placed in any position, even upside down, without any effect on its operation. – A first in hydraulics.
No worry about maintenance or leaking fluid – a patented process incorporating integral aircraft seals of triplex quality is used.
The hydraulic fluid is non-flammable, non-toxic and non-freezing.
Special stainless steel of 220,000 tensile strength make up the jaws.
To insure lightness, the body is made of a special aluminum that is heat treated and hard anodized giving it a tactical black color.
Special finger grips are attached for non-slip holding.
A heavy cordura bag and mallet compliments the unit.
For the narcotics officer, the unit’s unique size (13″) and weight (11lbs.) allows it to be carried under a coat like a hand weapon.
Includes 2 lb. mallet and carry case

During testing and evaluation, Ladder Co. 4 used the Hydra-Ram to successfully force open 109 doors during search operations in the World Trade Center after 1993 terrorist bombing in the twin towers’ basement parking garag
