Functions of a Hydraulic Wedge Spreader

Hydraulic wedge spreaders, such as those from Kanazawa , typically come with two arms that are designed to have a narrow tip. The tip is wedged into a narrow gap between two components that need to be separated or taken apart. With the use of hydraulic pressure, the two arms are separated, lifting the two components away from each other.

Owing to its shape, the hydraulic wedge spreader can be wedged into small gaps with limited insertion space of six to ten millimetres. There is a range of wedge spreaders available for use that vary in their shape, configurations and the way they operate. It is important to inspect the work in detail before employing the right type of wedge spreader to perform the job.

For more equal distribution of force, the hydraulic wedge spreader can also be used alongside a flange spreader, a tool to remove flanges during maintenance works without damaging the flange itself.

Applications of Hydraulic Wedge Spreaders

There are various uses of the hydraulic wedge spreader. In the field of construction, it is used to take apart various types of materials, such as during a demolition of a building, for instance. It is also used in repair works, especially when the item in question is faulty and needs force to be opened. During rescue operations, the wedge spreader is also used to save people, especially in situations when there is a need to pop open the doors of a car to save the driver and passengers stuck in the car due to a crash.
