Shearforce Ltd and Holmatro also manufacture an extremely wide range of hydraulic jacks, cylinders, hydraulic pumps, hand pumps, electric powered pumps, petrol powered pumps and diesel powered pumps, all of differing sizes and flow rates. The large range of jacks and cylinders cover single acting cylinders, double acting cylinders, pull cylinders from 1 to 1000 tonnes capacity. These all operate at 720 Bar working pressure. We also have a vast range of hydraulic components to compliment this range including hydraulic hose assemblies, hydraulic fittings, male and female couplers, gauges and adaptors.
These hydraulic jacks can be used in a wide variety of civil engineering applications such as, bridge jacking, cable tensioning, shipbuilding, ship maintenance, fabrication, workshop presses, ships propeller removal, nuclear decommissioning, flange spreaders, wedges, pipe squeezers, flow stoppers, puller sets Etc. The are also a comprehensive range of air bags for low height lifting application such as forklift trucks, quarries, petro chemical industry, ship building Etc.

The Holmatro range of hydraulic cutters, either mobile or stationary, have been especially designed for use in the most harshest of environments and applications, such as car recycling, demolition, nuclear decommissioning, cable reclamation and recycling, sub-sea and offshore applications, general scrap reduction to name but a few. The tools are made from high-quality aluminium and steel, making the cutters powerful and yet very light. The pumps are available in electric or petrol versions, have been developed especially for mobile use. They are compact and lightweight. A complete mobile cutter set consists of a mobile cutter, a mobile pump and a hose. Various accessories for the sets are available as well.

With advances in automotive design and construction comes a requirement for auto manufacturers to test the improvements. Based on decades of experience in hydraulic spreader technology, Holmatro has designed an industrial spreader system, HATS, specifically for destructive testing use in the automotive manufacturing environment. It is constructed from high-grade steel and an emphasis has been placed on the durability (extremely high cycle counts) and ergonomics (reduced physical demands) of the tool. The weight of the tool is suspended from a unique rotating, compensating balancer.

The Holmatro HFW hydraulic foundry wedge series has been developed to remove feeders and risers from castings and to eliminate this heavy and dangerous work from foundries. The design of the Holmatro foundry wedge is such that feeders and risers can be removed from castings much more quickly and safely, and with less effort than ever before, without damaging the casting itself.
During the design stage of the Holmatro® HFW foundry wedge, one of the aspects given emphasis by our engineers was the tool's ergonomics. They came up with a new concept: a tool that is able to rotate in every direction and under every angle! This means the operator can reach almost any feeder and riser without adjusting the position of the actual product, the casting. This obviously results in a more efficient production process. Last but not least, the ergonomic design also significantly reduces the physical burden on your work force.
The Holmatro HFW foundry wedge has received a prestigious Dutch design award. The "Stichting Goed Industrieel Ontwerp" (Foundation for Good Industrial Design) gave an award for good industrial design to the HFW. Apart from this "standard" acknowledgement, the Holmatro HFW was also one of only 5 products to receive a Special Award for Excellence! The tool's ergonomic and functional qualities received a special mention from the jury.
