Hydraulic spreaders are designed to apply controlled force, which reduces the risk of flange damage compared to pry bars and hammering. However, correct positioning is critical. Spreaders must be used evenly and safely to prevent bending or scoring flange surfaces. Hydraulic Rentals can recommend the correct spreader type and safe operating method for flange separation projects.
