Founded in the Netherlands in 1967 and privately owned, the Holmatro Group is a leading global supplier of hydraulic equipment and services. With more than 300 employees, the Holmatro Group has offices in the Netherlands, the US, and China. From its headquarters in the Netherlands, the company serves all customers in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Oceania, East and Southeast Asia, and South America. From its American headquarters, Holmatro serves customers in North and Central America. Finally, another headquarters in China serves all customers in mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau.

One of Holmatro's latest achievements is the T1, the world's first all-in-one device for forced entry. According to Holmatro, the T1 is an innovative, weight-optimized, and multifunctional product that can be operated by a single person. It combines all the functions and advantages of a comprehensive breaching tool kit in a single device. This means that rescue and emergency services always have the right tool for the job.

Specifically, this means that the T1 can hammer, cut, spread, lift, wedge, and ram. Having all these functions in a single compact device saves weight and space during transport, among other things. The T1's cutting wedge is removable, which means that no second person or device is needed to create the initial gap.

A 2-stage pump ensures high power transmission, or in figures: 30 kilograms of manual force on the pump rod generates a hydraulic cutting force of up to 14.2 tons and a hydraulic spreading force of up to 3.4 tons. This is usually enough power to gain the necessary and often life-saving access anywhere.
