Turnout Gear Extractors Washers Dryers
Turnout Gear Extractors, Washers & Dryers
Clean turnout gear lasts longer and limits exposure to the soot and contaminants crews bring back from a fire. This category holds station equipment for cleaning and drying gear: the Extractor 22 turnout gear washer and the Ready Rack Vortex DC2 turnout gear drying cabinet.
How to choose
- Capacity: Size the washer and dryer to the number of sets you clean after a typical call so gear gets back in service quickly.
- Gentle drying: Turnout gear should not be dried with high heat or in direct sunlight. A drying cabinet moves air through the gear for even drying.
- Care guidance: Follow your gear maker label and NFPA 1851 guidance on cleaning and care of protective ensembles.
- Space and utilities: Check the footprint, power and water needs against your station before ordering.
Brands we carry

Gear Washer FAQ
Why not use a home washing machine?
Gear extractors are built for the weight and bulk of turnouts and for the cleaning cycles gear makers recommend. Home machines can be damaged and may not clean gear properly.
