Breaching Tools
Breaching Tools, also known as Method of Entry (MOE) equipment are essential for gaining rapid access during tactical, rescue, or emergency operations. Our range includes hydraulic breaching tools, thermic lances, energetic breaching systems, and specialised rescue equipment. These tools are designed to defeat doors, locks, barriers, and reinforced structures in high-risk environments. Whether for military, law enforcement, or emergency services, our Breaching Tools provide reliable, efficient access when time and safety are critical.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are breaching tools used for?
Breaching tools are used to gain rapid access through doors, walls, or barriers during tactical, rescue, or emergency operations. They are essential for military, law enforcement, and first responders conducting forced entry or extraction tasks.
What’s the difference between hydraulic, thermic, and energetic breaching tools?
Hydraulic breaching tools use controlled force for quiet, precise entry. Thermic lances cut through metal and reinforced materials using intense heat. Energetic breaching involves carefully placed charges to create rapid access through doors, walls, or other obstacles.
When is energetic breaching preferred over mechanical tools?
Energetic breaching is preferred when speed, surprise, or defeating heavily reinforced barriers is required. It’s commonly used in military and counter-terrorism operations where traditional mechanical tools may be ineffective.
Are breaching tools safe to use in rescue operations?
Yes. Many MOE tools are designed specifically for rescue operations. Hydraulic spreaders, cutters, and other specialised tools enable safe, controlled access to trapped individuals during vehicle accidents, building collapses, or confined space rescues.
