HYDRA-RAM HYDRAULIC FORCIBLE ENTRY TOOL
Also known as the RABBIT TOOL or BUNNY TOOL
The HYDRA RAM was tested strenuously by FDNY's Research
& Development Division for 11 months. Three (3)
Hydra Rams were placed into the busiest Ladder and Rescue
Companies in the boroughs of Bronx, Manhattan, and
Brooklyn. Overwhelming approvals and recommendations
for acceptance by these twelve companies were received
to make the Hydra Ram their official hydraulic forcible
entry tool.
In 1993, during the test and evaluation, FDNY's Ladder Company
4 forced 109 doors during search and rescue
operations at the World Trade Center bombing.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Weighs 11 lbs.
- Length 13" long

FEATURES:
* 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.
* We boast that the Hydra Ram is truly a one man operation
since the whole unit is in the hands of the user.
* Weighs only 11 lbs. (same as the Pro-Bar Halligan) and is
13 inches long.
* No worry about maintenance or leaking fluid. We use a
patented process incorporating integral aircraft seals of
triplex quality.
* Our 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 of a special aluminum
heat treated and hard anodized to a darkened color of
tactical black.
* Special finger grips are attached for non-slip holding surface.
* 10,000 lbs. of force is presented at 138 lbs. of pumping to acquire
3/4 inch a stroke to a maximum thrust opening of 4 inches.
* The Hydra Ram can be placed in any position even upside down
without any effect on its operation - a first in hydraulics.
* A heavy duty Cordura bag and mallet compliments the unit.
* For narcotics officers, the unit's unique size (13") and
weight (11 lbs.) allows it to be carried under a coat like
a hand weapon.
* While others take 30 to 40 pumps to gain full extension,
the Hydra Ram does it in 8 pumps.
This unit is a one person operation - ideal for Fire
Department, Police Departments, Tactical Operations,
and Military for forcible entry.
This unit is presently used by FDNY, NYPD Emergency
Services, DEA, FBI, and many other fire, police
emergency services and the Military.
