One Tool. Multiple possibilities: The Holmatro T1

Picture
Picture
When every second counts, having the right tool available can make all the difference. The Holmatro T1 is a compact, multifunctional hydraulic forcible entry tool designed to give rescue professionals the versatility they need in demanding situations. Combining cutting, wedging, ramming, spreading, hammering and lifting capabilities in one standalone tool, the T1 helps reduce the amount of equipment required all while saving valuable space and weight on rescue vehicles. At the heart of the T1 is a patented hydraulic cutting and spreading mechanism that delivers impressive force in a compact design. Its powerful yet portable construction makes it easy to carry, store and operate, even in confined spaces.
 
The detachable wedge allows a single operator to create the initial gap when forcing heavy inward-opening doors, while also providing options for pulling hinges and manually forcing outward-opening doors.
 
The spreading tips offer controlled door opening and feature a load-holding function, making the T1 suitable for lifting and progressive lifting operations. In vehicle rescue scenarios, the tips can also be used to create vital working space.
 
Optimised cutting blades and jaw design enable the T1 to cut rebar, chains and padlocks, including round bar up to 18 mm in diameter. A hammer head adds further versatility, allowing the tool to be used as a battering ram or hammer when rapidly opening lighter doors.
 
Powered by a two-stage pump, the T1 can deliver up to 14,2 tonnes of hydraulic cutting force and 3,4 tons of spreading force. At just 7.7kg, it offers an effective balance of portability and power—making the Holmatro T1 a truly versatile solution for modern forcible entry and rescue operations.
 
The T1 is just one example of what Holmatro brings to modern forcible entry. If this multifunctional tool has impressed you, the Pentheon range is certainly worth exploring.
