Hydraulic breaching tools use pump, battery, or pneumatic-hydraulic power to force doors quickly and quietly, making them the method of entry of choice when stealth is paramount or explosive methods aren't appropriate. Alford Technologies is an authorised UK distributor of Holmatro Special Tactics breaching tools, supplying five proven systems alongside our own explosive breaching charges and Explosive Breaching & MoE training so that operators can match the entry method to the task.

| Door Blaster HDB 90 ST | Pneumatic-hydraulic | 1 | 10.8kg | Silent, remote breaching of high-resistance doors |
| T1 Forcible Entry Tool | Manual hydraulic | 1 | 7.7kg | All-in-one: cut, spread, ram, wedge, hammer |
| Door Opener HDO100 | Hand pump | 2 | 6.7kg | Compact kit; forces a door in under 30 seconds |
Breaching Ram DR200 ST

A double-acting door ram with a CORE connection, built to breach inward-opening doors with multiple locks. The control handle directs oil flow in both directions, making it simple to operate; pair it with a manual breaching tool for outward-opening doors.
Why choose it:
- Runs off kit you may already own. Powered by a CORE hose and pump, so no separate investment if you operate another CORE tool such as a Combi Tool
- Solo-capable with a backpack pump, and either configuration needs less manual force and manpower than a hand pump
- 300mm stroke with constant spreading force throughout, highly effective against flexible doors and multi-lock doors
- Operator stays out of the doorway. The toe sits perpendicular to the tool body, so the operator works from beside the door, not in front of it
Specifications: Ready-for-use weight 7.6kg (16.8lb). Maximum stroke length 300mm (11.8″).
CORE technology refers to how hydraulic oil is directed from the pump to the tool and back.
Door Ram GDR200EVO3 ST

The same double-acting ram as the DR200 ST, powered by a Holmatro EVO 3 battery instead, so no external pump or hoses. Built for breaching inward-opening doors with multiple locks; combine with a manual breaching tool for outward-opening doors.
Why choose it:
- Fully cordless, single-operator tool. Nothing to drag, connect, or position behind you
- More mobile, less visible. Heavier than the DR200 ST, but losing the hose and pump makes the operator faster-moving and harder to detect
- IP54 rated, protected against dust and water splashes from all directions
- All the breaching performance of the DR200 ST, including the 300mm constant-force stroke and out-of-doorway operating position
Specifications: Ready-for-use weight 13.4kg (29.5lb).
Door Blaster HDB 90 ST

A pneumatic-hydraulic breaching tool for rapid, silent, remote operations against high-resistance, inward-opening doors with multiple locks. It is Holmatro’s most powerful and quietest breaching tool, suited to the most dangerous scenarios.
Why choose it:
- As fast as explosive entry, with no flying debris
- Near-silent pneumatic-hydraulic drive reduces the chance of detection
- Remote operation keeps the operator out of harm’s way
- One person can transport, install, and operate it
Specifications: Ready-for-use weight 10.8kg (23.8lb).
Standard kit: Round pushing plate DBP 12; rectangular pushing plate DBP 14; extension pieces DBE 01, DBE 02, DBE 03; grip head sets DBH 21, DBH 23, DBH 24 (two of each); carry/storage bag DBC 01.
T1 Forcible Entry Tool

A lightweight, all-in-one hydraulic entry tool that cuts, wedges, rams, spreads, hammers, and lifts, with no batteries or external pump. One tool breaches heavy inward-opening doors, lifts roller doors, cuts locks, and rams interior doors.
Why choose it:
- Six functions, one tool, one operator. Always the right tool for the job without carrying six of them
- Detachable wedge creates the first gap, and doubles for pulling hinges or manually forcing outward-opening doors
- Patented cutting/spreading mechanism delivers high cutting and spreading forces from a compact body; also serves as a Special Materials Cutter, battering ram, or hammer
- Two-step hydraulic pump saves operator energy compared with mechanical tools
Specifications: Ready-for-use weight 7.7kg (17lb). Maximum spreading distance 128mm (5″).
Standard kit: Removable cutting blades; detachable wedge.
Door Opener HDO100

A single-acting hydraulic door opener in a robust, compact case you can carry one-handed. Driven by an external hand pump, it forces an inward-opening door in under 30 seconds.
Why choose it:
- Forces a door in under 30 seconds from a case-carried, compact package
- 360° rotatable handle for easy insertion at any angle
- Lightest tool in the range at 6.7kg ready for use
Specifications: Ready-for-use weight 6.7kg (14.8lb). Maximum stroke length 130mm (5.1″). Two-person operation.
Standard kit: Door Opener HDO100; 360° rotatable handle; 30cm (1′) pigtail hose; 360° rotation elbow; Holmatro Hand Pump PA 04 H 2 S; 3m (9.8′) Holmatro Single Hose B 3 SOU; synthetic carry/storage case.
