Inclined hose drying system

Inclined fire hose suspension is ideal for small fire stations without a hose drying tower. It is inexpensive, offers one-person operation, needs neither electricity nor maintenance — a Leaning Hose Tower of Pisa, so to say.

A strong inclination to dry

The hose hang-dries compactly inclined, with enough air to dry it from all sides. It hangs from a rope that connects a bottom rack mounted to the floor or wall and the suspension pulleys under the ceiling. Also included: return pulleys to minimize the pulling force.

Let it all hang out

• Insert the hose coupling into the bottom rack
• If the hose is folded: unfold the suspension pulley and push it through the fold
• Fasten the rope to the suspension pulley
• Pull the rope to lift the suspension pulley
• The hose now hang-dries in a slope from the ceiling

Simply sturdy

• Bottom hose rack: galvanized steel; mounted to floor or wall
• One or two suspension boxes under the ceiling (depending on configuration)
• Return pulleys per suspension box: eight or ten; plastic
• A sufficient number of suspension adaptors with pulleys, nylon ropes, plastic-coated rope holders, lashing grids
