Remote Vehicle Entry Hook and Line Kit

Gain rapid, controlled access to locked vehicles while maintaining stand‑off. The Alpha Vehicle Entry Accessory Kit is a compact hook and line accessory kit that brings together specialised non‑explosive tools for operating locks, handles and windows, helping EOD and high‑risk search teams cut rigging time and improve success on complex vehicle entry tasks.

Designed to work alongside standard hook and line systems, including the Standard Vehicle Entry Hook & Line Kit (2nd Generation), Alpha Vehicle Entry adds dedicated tools for keys, lever‑lift car doors, push‑button locks and boots, giving operators a proven method of remote vehicle entry without the use of explosives.

Key benefits

• Faster vehicle rigging: Purpose‑built clamps, lifters and pushers attach quickly to common vehicle handles and locks, reducing time spent in the danger area.
• Non‑explosive window breaching: A diamond‑tipped window breaker shatters toughened vehicle glass remotely, creating an access route when keys or remote unlocking are not available.
• Versatile handle operation: Self‑grip and recessed/boot handle lifters allow operators to open a wide range of vertical, horizontal and recessed lift‑type handles on doors and boots.
• Remote key control: A compact key turner secures to the vehicle key so operators can unlock doors or ignitions from a safe control point via the hook and line.
• Secure attachment to the line: A medium double plain hook and 25 mm eye provide strong, configurable attachment points between tools and the pulling line for reliable operation.
• Rugged transport and storage: A rigid, gasket‑sealed case with foam cut‑outs keeps each tool protected, organised and easy to inventory before and after missions.

Typical applications

• Remote opening of vehicle doors, boots and bonnets during explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) and high‑risk search tasks.
• Gaining access to locked or abandoned vehicles to allow robot entry, visual search or manual inspection.
• Non‑explosive breaking of vehicle windows when no key or remote unlocking method is available.
• Supporting dismounted hook and line operations in urban, roadside and car‑park environments.

What’s in the Alpha Vehicle Entry kit

The Alpha Vehicle Entry Accessory Kit groups tools into vehicle tools, combined vehicle/building tools, hook systems and storage/transport. Key components include:

• Diamond‑tipped window breaker (HL001600): Suction‑mounted impact tool for remotely shattering toughened vehicle glass, with repetitive firing capability and a tether to prevent the tool falling after glass failure.
• Button pusher with suction pad (HL001602): Adjustable arm assembly that mounts to the vehicle bodywork and actuates push‑button locks and latches when the line is pulled.
• Self‑grip handle lifter (HL001601): Clamp‑on lifter for horizontal or vertical lift‑type door handles that stays locked in place even when the pull line is routed at an angle.
• Boot/boot‑lid handle lifter (HL001604): Telescopic lifter designed for recessed “pivot and lift” handles on boots and tailgates, allowing handles to be operated from stand‑off.
• Key turner (HL001603): Anodised aluminium key carrier with rope, allowing remote operation of vehicle keys in locks or ignitions as part of the hook and line set‑up.
• Hook and eye set (SE002308 & SE002311): Medium double plain hook and 25 mm eye for attaching the pulling line to tools and creating robust anchor points.
• Rigid case and manual (HL009701 & HL009702): Foam‑lined transport case with printed instruction manual; a PDF version is available from the manufacturer on request.
