Description:
Please go to http://www.hftfire.com and http://www.hoseroller.info ...as you take the next few moments to learn how this patented device will allow you to accomplish more in a few minutes at the end of an incident when fatigue is truly setting in and (as an option) function as a Rope Rescue Hand Winch; and/or prepare any "attack" or "hotel" or "high rise" hose extension bundle for immediate/ confined space deployment... an incredible SAFETY enhancement in which most hose loads actually prevent the execution of such basic Laws of Physics without extensive manipulation, arrangement and re-arrangement of the hose in whatever space may (or may not) be available.
Yes, with the assistance of standard 2" trailer hitch receiver on the back of a pick-up truck I rolled, stacked, inventoried, and moved [over 100' of travel distance from an exterior drying rack surrounded by exposed dirt] over 3200' of 3", 2.5", and 1.75" Double Jacket fire hose back to it's storage racks/area... SOLO... but in far less time than a team of even eight (8) of us could have performed on our hands and knees as we swept the debris off the bottom side of every inch of over a half mile of hose.
The funny part about this story was I told no one within my volunteer department I had performed this duty... by myself... during the first few drops of the fall/winter season's first heavy rain storm on a weekday afternoon.
When all of us (volunteers) reported a week later to our next training drill, there was a feeling of great frustration as everyone realized [and assumed] we had all dropped the ball as none of us had taken initiative and the crucial time and effort to get a few of us together to remove the hose before the rain had hit... and therefore had became much too late to even hope for a few consecutive warm days to reverse the water exposure.
However, upon viewing the 'empty' hose drying rack, the thought then transitioned the entire complement had been stolen... but then upon reporting to the apparatus room to inventory what hose may have remained, everyone was absolutely amazed to see every inch accoiunted for... just as "I" had left it... but my fellow volunteers had no idea and could only guess it must have been perhaps an inmate crew who were assigned this task... like a bunch of Santa's elves... to accomplish this incredibly grueling yet very necessary detail for us.
You know when you know you have one over the rest of them!?! ...and it still leaves them wondering?
Well, Hello! Bottom line they were all very appreciative they were relieved of this duty yet very skeptical when I stated I had accomplished this.... ALONE! After you view the remaining information at www.hoseroller.org you will always know! Yes, this hose roller is like none other because of it's patented removable Crank Handle and optional Extension Arm attachments and Rope Rescue pulley system designed to accomplish more than we ever dreamed in a configuration that will fit into a standard "baseball bat bag" and therefore, store nearly anywhere on you rig to be used both on or off the fire ground.
Please note in every demonstration the roller is attached to either one (1) or two (2) small 2" X 3" X ¾" Quick-Disconnect Mounting Bracket(s) [designed for strength and durability AND yet small enough to be affixed to an apparatus bumper or standard 4" X 4" wooden post in the most remote locations on the globe] as the hose is rolled, coiled, and prepared (in a foot print area small enough to protect your crew from the harsh elements of weather) ...and then fully charged from within limited or confined space and then deployed around right angle turns on the most difficult paths to traverse.
My hope is you find this informative at the very least and perhaps as an inspiration to consider the acquisition of such an incredible 'partner' in the Fire Service that will allow you to not only roll hose of nearly any size from 3/4" Peanut Line to up to 5" LDH, but deploy it in a much SAFER and more EFFICIENT manner, affect SAFE Rope Rescue Practices, and restore your apparatus to it's state of readiness with the least amount of time and effort like never before!
I welcome any and all comments and feedback you feel compelled to share! It is never about us, but those we have committed our LIFE to serve!
Proverbs 18:15 A wise many in open to new ideas... in fact he searches for them!

OMG!!! The "Art of UNFOLDING A Fire Hose"....... "Just Do It... NO COMPLAINTS" and "Nozzle Abandonment" as "STANDARD PROCEDURE!" ............... Would have made a Great Monty Python Episode......... Unreal !!!!!!

He didn't patent the load, he patented the design for a device that assists in the making of the load.

this device seems like it makes work a hell of a lot easier, and would work good for a shorthanded small town vol. FD when some times all the hose is still on the drying equipment and u are the only one there at the time and have to get it on the engines.

Again, this load was first introduced to my knowledge when I presented it in 1991 at American River College during my Fire Instructor 1A course in which the Master Instructor insisted I demonstrate this to the entire class before we broke up into groups of ten... I would fail if it didnt work... nearly every department represented changed to the coil method...

Again, please go to 3w's dot hftfire dot com to learn all the details... this is an abridged version of the entire video that only demonstrates the Transverse/ Pre-Connect load and 'Charged' hose 'Rolling' medthods. It is the device that is patented that multi-functions to ROLL hose; prepare hose for IMMEDIATE PROTECTION; and ALSO perform as an immediate Hand Rope Rescue Winch from any 2" Trailer Slide... BE SAFE!

Just currious how do you patent a load the forestry service has used for 50 years, and many departments use on their high rise kits already. It is however a great load, but not an origional.
