Brief description of spreader
Battery-powered spreaders are specially designed rescue devices for spreading, pressing and
pulling. They are used to rescue trapped or enclosed accident victims. The spreaders are mainly
suitable for opening doors, and for lifting vehicles and other movable loads.
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 movement speed of the spreading arms is affected by moving the control lever on the
control handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum
spreading force is achieved only when the lever is on full activation.
