Breaching Tools

Door ram DR200

The Door Ram DR200 is a double-acting door ram with a CORE connection, made for breaching inward opening doors with multiple locks. Double-acting means you can easily control the oil flow in both ways with the control handle of the tool, making it easier to use. Some of its features include:

• Powered by Core hose and pump, making it compatible with your other CORE-powered Rescue tools.
  • This saves you the need to invest in a separate hose and pump.
• Can also be combined with a backpack pump, making it operable by one person.
• Both of these options require less manual force than a hand pump.
• Designed to quickly open inward opening doors.
• Can also be used for outward opening doors, with help of mechanical tools.
• The maximum stroke length of 300 mm / 11,8 in makes it easier to open doors with multiple locks or flexible doors.
• Ready for use weight of 7,6kg/16,8lbs.

Door ram PDR200 (excl. battery)

The Door Ram PDR200 is the same tool as the DR200, only powered by our Pentheon technology. This gives the tool some additional features and benefits:

• The PDR200 is a cordless tool, making it operable by one person.
• Ready for use weight of 14.2kg/ 31.3 lbs

Even though this tool is heavier than its hose equivalent, there’s the big advantage of not having to drag along a hose and pump.

All-in-One Forcible Entry tool: T1

All the aforementioned tools are specifically designed for breach doors, each with their own advantages. When you need a tool specifically for opening doors, these specialized hydraulic tools will be of great help. But as a rescuer, you may also need to cut locks or chains, ram interior doors or lift heavy materials during the same operation. In that case, carrying an extensive breaching kit up a few flights of stairs is not feasible, especially not for one person. A tool that can do all these things could save a lot of weight and space. For this reason, Holmatro introduced an all-in-one forcible entry tool in 2023: the T1. The T1 combines all features of an extensive breaching kit in one compact tool design. Some of its features and benefits include:

• Operable by one person.
• A ready to use weight of 7,7kg /17lbs.
• The detachable wedge can be used to create the first gap.
• Spreading tips can then be used to hydraulically breach heavy inward opening doors.
• The maximum spreading distance is 128 mm/ 5 in, similar to that of the HDO 100.
• The two-step hydraulic pump saves you energy and breathing air, compared to mechanical tools.
• The T1 can also be used as Special Materials Cutter, battering ram or hammer.

This means that with the T1, you always have the right tool for the job.
