LUKAS Jaws of Life — Price, Lead Time & Service, Egypt & Gulf

Price depends on the model and the configuration — a single E3 cutter, an E4 battery set with charger and spare battery, or a full EN 13204 tool set are very different quotations. Send us the models or the EN 13204 class you need and we reply with a written quotation, the delivery time for your country, and the warranty and service terms.

Hydraulic rescue tools are used primarily for vehicle extrication — freeing persons trapped in vehicles after road traffic collisions. The tool set typically includes a cutter (for structural pillars and seat belts), a spreader (for opening crumple zones and door gaps), and a ram (for pushing roof sections or dashboards away from casualties). The same tools are also used in industrial rescue, building collapse, and rail accident response. Lukas rescue tools are EN 13204 certified and used by fire brigades, civil defence agencies, and emergency services worldwide.

Fire and rescue tools are purpose-built for emergency response and carry the EN 13204 certification for hydraulic rescue tools, which defines minimum performance requirements for spreading force, cutting force, and operating pressure. Standard hydraulic tools such as industrial jaws of life or construction spreaders do not meet these standards. Fire and rescue tools are also designed for one-handed operation, work at any angle, and use oil systems compatible with emergency environment contamination. Lukas E4 and E3 rescue tools and equipment are certified to EN 13204 and designed specifically for fire brigade and rescue service use.

E4 is the latest LUKAS generation: Captium IoT, 1,000 V protection for electric-vehicle rescue, IP 58, an integrated LED bar and on-tool charging, and it runs on the e³ CONNECT Li-ion battery system. E3 is the previous generation and remains a proven choice where budget matters. Both are battery-powered with no hoses, and both are listed above.

Combi tools (cutter and spreader in one) suit general extrication and smaller crews. Dedicated spreaders give a wider opening for door removal; dedicated cutters give the most cutting force for A, B and C pillars and modern high-strength steels. Rams extend and push to create space. Tell us the vehicle types you respond to and we will recommend a set.

Yes. Fire and Rescue Tech is an authorised distributor of Lukas E4 and E3 hydraulic rescue tools and equipment for fire brigades, civil defence agencies, and industrial emergency services across Egypt, the GCC, Sub-Saharan Africa, and North Africa. We supply cutters, spreaders, combi-tools, and rams from the full Lukas range, along with Vetter lifting bags and Rescue42 stabilisation struts for complete extrication capability. Contact us for technical specification, pricing, and lead times.

Lukas E4 battery rescue tools are rated for a specified number of full working cycles per charge — typically sufficient for a standard vehicle extrication. Battery life depends on the tool type, material being cut or spread, and ambient temperature. For extended operations or multi-vehicle incidents, Fire and Rescue Tech recommends equipping each vehicle with at least two spare battery sets per tool. E4 batteries are interchangeable across all E4 tools, which reduces the total number of spare batteries required in the fleet.

Yes, with specific precautions. Electric vehicles present a high-voltage risk during extrication that is not present in conventional vehicles. Lukas E4 rescue tools themselves are not inherently EV-specific, but their cordless design and the absence of conducting hydraulic hose connections reduce some risk vectors. Rescuers should always follow EV extrication protocols: identify the battery pack location, cut power where safely possible, and avoid cutting through the high-voltage cable routes.
