Separating stubborn or seized joints for inspection and maintenance can be a challenging and potentially hazardous task, particularly where joints are fitted with ring grooves or subjected to external loads and forces. Traditional methods such as hammers, wedges, chain blocks, or lever bars often require excessive manual effort and can lead to damage of joint components, misalignment, or uncontrolled release of stored energy, creating significant safety risks for personnel
The ActionRam HHP-1481 Hydraulic Wedge Spreader provides a safe, controlled, and highly effective solution for joint separation applications. Designed for precision and reliability, this hydraulic wedge eliminates the need for impact tools and excessive force, greatly reducing the risk of damage and injury
Featuring a unique interlocking wedge design, the HHP-1481 delivers friction-free, smooth, and parallel wedge movement throughout the spreading operation. This advanced design prevents flange damage and eliminates the risk of spreading arm failure, even under full load. The wedge requires an exceptionally small access gap of just 6mm, making it ideal for tight or confined applications where conventional tools cannot be used
The stepped spreader arm design allows each step to operate under full rated load, ensuring consistent performance and controlled separation. When additional opening is required, the supplied stepped blocks can be used to increase the spreading range up to 81mm, offering excellent versatility across a wide range of maintenance and industrial applications
