LUKAS (Germany) manufactures the world-renowned E4 and E3 series of battery-powered and hydraulic rescue tools. Africa for Import and Export LLC-FZ is the authorised distributor for Africa, the Middle East and Gulf.
LUKAS E4 Series — Current Generation
The E4 generation integrates the battery, motor, and hydraulic pump into each individual tool — eliminating hoses and external power units entirely. Features include Captium™ IoT connectivity for real-time tool monitoring, integrated LED light bars, on-tool charging, and 1,000 V protection for electric and hybrid vehicle rescue. EN 13204 certified.

LUKAS E3 Series — Hydraulic Generation
The E3 series uses traditional high-pressure hydraulics — a pump unit connected by hoses to the cutter, spreader, combi, or ram tool. E3 tools deliver full cutting and spreading performance for teams with established hydraulic rescue vehicle fleets. We supply complete E3 sets including hydraulic power units.
LUKAS S 378 E3
Compact hydraulic cutter for standard vehicle extrication. Compatible with LUKAS E3 hydraulic power units.
LUKAS S 789 E3
High-force hydraulic cutter for modern high-strength steel vehicles. Full cutting force throughout the entire blade stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions
What LUKAS rescue tools do you supply for Africa?
We supply the full LUKAS E4 and E3 ranges: hydraulic cutters, spreaders (SP 775, SP 777, SP 778), combi tools (SC 258, SC 358, SC 758), and telescopic rams (CR 522, R 320, R 521). Both generations are available; E4 battery-cordless tools are recommended for new fleet procurement.
What is the difference between LUKAS E4 and E3 rescue tools?
E4 integrates the battery, motor, and pump into each tool — no hoses or power unit required. E3 uses a hydraulic pump unit with hoses connected to each tool. E4 deploys faster and is lighter to carry. Both deliver full EN 13204 cutting and spreading performance for modern vehicle construction.
Which LUKAS cutter is recommended for modern high-strength steel vehicles?
For modern UHSS and boron steel vehicles (post-2010), the S 789 E4 (1,101 kN) or S 799 E4 are recommended. For E3 fleets, the equivalent S 789 E3 and S 799 E3 deliver the same cutting performance via hydraulic power.
Do you supply LUKAS training for African fire services?
Yes. We coordinate LUKAS-certified training for Egyptian Civil Defense, Gulf fire services, and Sub-Saharan African emergency services. Training covers safe operation, maintenance, battery management (E4), hydraulic maintenance (E3), and modern vehicle construction awareness. Delivered in Egypt or at the customer's location.
