How To Choose The Right Hydraulic Rescue Tools For The Job？

Clear the job scene

Traffic accident rescue: At the scene of a traffic accident, the vehicle is often severely deformed and the trapped people may be stuck in the car. At this time, it is necessary to choose tools such as light hydraulic shears that have strong shearing force, are portable and can be operated in a small space, so as to quickly cut off metal parts such as doors and frames and rescue the trapped people. At the same time, with a hydraulic expander, the deformed body structure can be propped up to expand the rescue space.

Earthquake and building collapse rescue: Faced with collapsed buildings, rescuers need to enter the ruins to find survivors. Small, flexible and destructive hydraulic rock drills, hydraulic breakers and other tools are very suitable. They can help clear obstacles such as bricks, concrete blocks and other obstacles in the ruins and open up rescue channels. In addition, hydraulic jacks can support unstable building structures to prevent secondary collapse during the rescue process.

Water rescue: If water rescue is involved, the tools must be waterproof and corrosion-resistant. For example, underwater hydraulic cutting equipment can be used to cut off underwater entanglements or cut obstacles during salvage operations, helping rescuers to complete tasks quickly and ensure the safety of trapped people.

Consider rescue needs

Demolition needs: Choose tools based on the material, thickness and strength of the object to be demolished. For thinner metal sheets, small hydraulic shears can meet the needs; for thick steel plates, reinforced concrete and other solid materials, large, high-power hydraulic demolition tools such as hydraulic shears and hydraulic shears are required, which can provide greater shearing and expansion forces.

Rescue space: If the rescue space is narrow, such as in the gaps of collapsed buildings, inside pipes, etc., small and light portable hydraulic tools should be selected for easy operation. Like micro hydraulic expanders, they can play a role in small spaces and gain more opportunities for rescue. On the contrary, when working in open spaces, large-scale equipment with more powerful functions and higher power can be selected to improve rescue efficiency.

Evaluate tool performance

Power source and endurance: The power sources of hydraulic rescue tools include electric, gasoline, manual hydraulic pumps, etc. Electric tools are easy to operate and have low noise, but are limited by power supply; gasoline-powered tools are highly maneuverable and suitable for environments without power such as the wild; manual hydraulic pumps serve as backup power and can also play a role in emergencies. At the same time, the endurance of the tools should be considered, such as the battery capacity of electric tools and the fuel reserve of gasoline-powered tools, to ensure that the rescue process will not be interrupted due to lack of power.

Reliability and durability: Rescue work often races against time, and the reliability of tools is crucial. Choose products with well-known brands and reliable quality, the quality of their parts and manufacturing processes are more guaranteed, and the probability of failure can be reduced. In addition, the tools should have good durability and be able to adapt to harsh working environments, such as high temperature, humidity, sand and dust, to ensure that they can work normally under various complex conditions.
