CONTROL VALVE LOCATION
WHAT SETS US
APART ?
We are up-front and user friendly!
AMKUS locates the control valve parallel to the cylinder. This compact
design allows the operator to place the tool where they need it to
effectively do the job.
• Length of the tool- The wrap around design of our control valve
allows the operator to access cuts in tight spaces and rotate the
valve out of harm’s way.
• Balance- The control valve location allows the user to share the
weight of the tool between two hands versus one. This feature is
critical when using more substantial cutters like the AMK-22.
• Hand position- An operator’s hands stay in sight at all times with the
AMKUS control valve which is important as the tools move during
operation. Tools with the control valve located at the end of the tool
put your hands out of sight and into a compromising position. Our
tools can be rotated 180 degrees to move the valve away from
potential pinch points allowing the operator to make the desired cut.
A valve located at the end of the tool limits the user and forces a
change in the angle of the cut or a change in technique altogether.
• Easy turn control valve- Our valve is easy to turn and uses the large
muscle groups of the forearm for less fatigue.
ROTATING HANDLE CUTTER
Others have tried it, we’ve perfected it!
• Rescuers waste valuable energy repositioning their hands on a cutter handle. The unique 360 degree rotating handle
found on our Model AMK-21A and AMK-22 Cutters gives the user the ability to change the position of the tool without
having to let go of the handle. Repositioning requires minimal effort without your hand ever leaving the handle.
SPREADER DESIGN
Ours is different! Here’s why:
• Rack and pinion drive- The design of our AMK-24, AMK-30CX and
AMK-30CRT Spreaders provides a more consistent spreading force
from start to finish. Other spreader designs give you maximum
spreading force at the end of the spread and minimum at the
beginning- the point at which you need maximum force.
• Angle of maximum spread- The low angle at maximum spread
gives you usable surface area on the tips. Other designs open to a
more severe angle reducing tip surface contact area and pulling the
tool into the work area. Our tips remain parallel to the cylinder
throughout the spread allowing them to stay in contact with the
material continuously for maximum spread (helps avoid piercing
with the tips).
• Extended Reach Tips (ERT) in conjunction with our standard tips
give the rescuer more options for techniques such as lifting the
dash/steering column, etc.
SUBSTANTIAL RAM BASE
We support you!
AMKUS uses a large ram base to spread the load over a larger area.
The large ram base provides a solid support for pushing, which prevents
tearing into the material and eliminates the need for additional
equipment such as a rocker or ram support.
WHAT SETS US APART?
AMKUS builds tools for vehicle rescue. We don’t build equipment just to meet a
standard or to provide something similar to the competition. We build the best
equipment possible to help rescuers do their job.

STANDARD COUPLING
Standard Couplings have a locking collar to
prevent accidental uncoupling. Pulling back on
the collar allows the coupler to receive the male
coupler for a positive connection to the hydraulic
supply hoses.
ABOUT US
COUPLINGS, HYDRAULIC FLUID AND
MOUNTING BRACKETS
MONO COUPLING
Rescuers must make quick and efficient connections. The Mono
Coupling allows connecting and disconnecting of tools while the
line is under flow (in most cases it’s not necessary to place the
directional control of the power unit in the neutral position). The
Mono Coupling can convert standard AMKUS twin line hoses into a
single connection allowing customers to retrofit existing AMKUS
Rescue Tools.
MINERAL BASE
HYDRAULIC FLUID
MOUNTING
BRACKETS
All AMKUS Rescue Systems use AMKUS
MV-1 Mineral Base Hydraulic Fluid, a
quality anti-wear multi-viscosity mineral
base hydraulic fluid.
AMKUS offers individual
mounting brackets for each
model of equipment. The tool
can be positioned vertically or
horizontally. The tool will sit in
a molded base plate and a
rubber strap securely holds the
tool to prevent shifting around
the compartment.

and pinion drive that provides a more
consistent spreading force from start
to finish. Other spreader designs give
you maximum spreading force at the
end of the spread and minimum at
the beginning - the point at which you
need maximum force.
EXTENDED
REACH TIPS
Extended Reach Tips for the AMK24 and AMK-30CRT Spreaders
