Product information "Fire Hooks Unlimited - HYDRA RAM II"
The Hydra-Ram II from Fire Hooks Unlimited is a one-piece, integrated hydraulic forcible entry tool designed for high performance in a portable package. With no hoses or external pumps to manage, it’s engineered for one-person operation and rapid deployment — combining strength, simplicity, and tactical utility on the fireground.
Key Features & Benefits
Fully Integrated Hydraulic Design — No external hoses, pumps, or ancillary components to leak or trip over. The entire hydraulic mechanism is built into the unit itself.
One-Person Operation — The tool is sized and balanced so a single operator can deploy it without assistance.
High Force Output — Delivers up to 10,000 lbs of force, enabling powerful spreading, pushing, or breaching operations.
Large Spread Capability — Maximum thrust opening of 6 inches allows for substantial gap creation in doors, frames, walls, or structural obstructions.
Compact & Lightweight — Weighs approximately 13 lbs and measures about 15 inches in length, making it easier to carry, maneuver, and position in tight spaces.
Efficient Pumping — Full extension (6-inch spread) can be achieved in as few as 8 pumps — much faster than many traditional hydraulic systems.
All-Position Capability — Designed to operate in any orientation — including upside down — without performance loss.
Durable Construction — Body made of hard-anodized aluminum, hardened stainless steel jaws, and high-grade seals for longevity under repeated field use.
Included Accessories — Includes a Cordura carrying bag and a striking mallet for auxiliary operations.
Applications
Breaching doors, walls, or structural entry
Spreading and prying in constrained or locked environments
Forcible entry tasks where speed, compactness, and high power matter
Complement to standard hand tools (halligan, axes, pry bars) in tactical teams
