Fire Hose Handling Devices
Fire Hose Handling Devices
Moving hose is hard work. The tools in this category help crews carry, drag, roll and secure hose with less strain. You will find hose straps for 100, 150 and 200 feet of hose, large diameter hose straps, gripper straps, Milwaukee strap hose packs, Cleveland grips and straps, high rise and forestry hose packs, and hose roll bags, plus a multi-use hose handling tool.
How to choose
- Hose length and size: Hose straps are sized by how much hose they hold. Pick a strap for your standard bundle, and use a large diameter hose strap for supply line.
- Carry style: Shoulder carry hose packs work well for high rise and wildland work. Straps and grips are quicker for short stretches and advancing a line.
- Deployment: Fold-out and roll bag designs let hose pay out cleanly from the pack as you advance.
- Durability: Look for heavy webbing and reinforced stitching that stand up to water, grit and dragging.
