Brief description of Rams / Power Wedge
Battery-powered rams are specially designed rescue devices for pushing away parts of a
vehicle body. They are used to rescue trapped or enclosed accident victims. The rescue cyl-
inder is suitable for tasks such as pushing up steering columns, vehicle roofs and other obsta-
cles. The Power Wedge is designed for forcible entry.
Because the devices are equipped with internal electro-hydraulic drive, they are not linked
to a power unit and can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The ram is a supplement to the spreader and can be used, for example, if the
spreading arm’s spreading distance is no longer adequate.
The movement speed of the piston is affected by moving the rocker lever on the control
handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum compressive force is achieved only when
the rocker lever is on full activation.
