Fire hose roller for Firefighters

[Cypriot90]

Hi bros, i am a firefighter and we have some problems with our fire hoses. Until now we are crouching and rolling our hoses on the floor but this is uncomfortable for us and if it will be loose middle of hose roll (female head) will fall down! We are using british (UK) type heads. But now i did this device after little search on the google and we can do thight and straight rolls with this device. İ hope this will give some idea for other firefighters or gardeners for hose roll. Thank you for interested and read bros.

Good job making it. There are commercial versions available but I like how you have a prefeeder.

I know our department bought on which clamps to the back of our Engine which uses the same crank idea. Just no prefeeder.

I have also seen and used a variation which is a large circular flat wheel. The center has 2 pins to hold the end of the hose and then turning the circle by hand coils the hose. This keeps the hose from slipping in the tight coils as it rests on the wheel. But is takes up too much space to use on scene.

Very helpful tools. But isn't that what rookies are for?

Thank you for feedback . İ saw the commercial materials but We have little budget for buy commercial product and we trying our best for something. İ used iron bars and pipes for prefeeders advantages of this part makes thight the roll. We are using this on the station if we used to much hoses on the scenses. Thank you again for your interest.
