Brief description of rescue cylinder
Battery-powered rescue cylinders 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
cylinder is suitable for tasks such as pushing up steering columns, vehicle roofs and other
obstacles.
Because the devices are equipped with internal electrohydraulic drive, they are not linked to a
power unit and can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The rescue cylinders are 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 control lever on the control
handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum compressive force is achieved only when the
lever is on full activation.
