Holmatro introduces its new Cross Ram support Set XRS01, specially designed to distribute the force of the ram over a larger area during cross ramming. This prevents the ram from pushing through car (interior) materials, such as door cards, seat fabric, roof panels and B-pillars, which would make it lose its effectiveness.

Cross Ramming is a technique to create space when parts of the vehicle are deformed and obstruct a safe patient extrication. With the help of a ram, the car construction is pushed back into its original shape. The new Cross Ram Support Set can be used together with all Holmatro rams.

Cross Ram Support Set with smaller and larger models

The set consists of a smaller and a larger model. The smaller support can be used on a vehicle’s dashboard and roof. The larger support is designed for use on the rear seat. Both models are suitable for use on the B-pillars.

Cross ramming is used to create space inside the vehicle with the Holmatro Cross Ram Support Set. Holmatro's Cross Ram Support Set distributes the force of the ram over a larger area and prevents it from pushing through car (interior) parts. This allows one to effectively use the ram for cross ramming.
