Hydraulic spreaders are a great tool for creating internal space. Once a rear hatch is opened/removed, the rear seats can be completely removed to improve access. This will work best where the seats are 60/40 splitting/folding: Using hydraulic spreaders, insert the tips at the base of the rear seat backs near where the 60/40 seats meet. Open the spreader to expose the retaining mechanisms. The seat backs can now be removed by continuing to spread, cutting or a combination of the two.

A ‘butterfly’ is a method of removing the complete side of an inverted 5 door vehicle and can provide excellent access for personnel, equipment and can also provide a suitable extrication pathway. With both doors closed and the B pillar de trimmed: Remove outer wing (fender) and expose hinges. Spread and/or cut hinges and check strap. Make a large relief cut in the sill (rocker panel) close to the base of the B pillar. Open the rear door.

The French rescue team "Équipe secours routiers et techniques 57" is always working on its performance and trying to develop the team in order to have the right rescue technique ready in case of emergency. The photographer Daguerro Studio has put this in scene. Keep up the motivation! Great work and pictures.

The SDH Sušice is ready for all new missions with the LUKAS eWXTs and our LX STRUT system. We wish good luck and thank you for your trust!

Without doubt, on modern vehicles the B pillar rip/blowout is far more difficult than on older vehicles. Stronger, stiffer construction means that ‘ripping’ or ‘tearing’ your initial relief cut can create problems and delays. When we consider what our aim is, I would always recommend performing a side removal by removing the two doors and the B pillar individually (as detailed above). That said, it is still a valid technique, as we still have older vehicles on the roads. Vehicle Extrication - THE NEXT GENERATION provides a full description, data sheet and FULL LENGTH HD video link to this and many other popular processes and techniques.

Leistungsstark, sicher und zuverlässig: Deshalb verbauen wir in unseren eWXT Rettungsgeräten auch nur hochwertige Komponenten. Neben einer robusten, mechanischen Ventilsteuerung, haben wir die komplette Elektronik isoliert und inklusive aller Leitungen vollständig mit Epoxidharz versiegelt, um jeglicher Korrosion zu widerstehen. Dadurch kann die eWXT Serie nicht nur problemlos im Wasser eingesetzt werden ohne anschließend in den Service zu müssen, sondern ist auch besonders widerstandsfähig, robust und stoßfest. LUKAS geht keine Kompromisse ein, wenn es um das Retten von Menschenleben geht.
