With RollNRack tools, SAFETY is the main priority-not how cheaply we can get the tools built for- watch out for cheap knock offs that claim to do the same. Our system is customizable, portable and fits in a rig compartment. Other "portable" fire hose reels on the market are bulky, mount on a hitch and you have to mess with gas, oil & belts. Some units drag water filled LDH to the unit causing LDH jacket damage. A rig-mounted loader that draws up hose, requires additional firefighters to ride AND STAND, on top of moving rigs, putting even more firefighters at risk for falls, injuries or even death. For the logistics and the liability, this just doesn't make any sense. It also isn't practical when hose testing. With RollNRack tools, even if your truck is committed at the scene, you can safely get that truck back in service quickly! 

With RollNRack tools, one firefighter can drain and roll all your hose, ergonomically. You can load each roll safely with just two firefighters every time. You never lift LDH hose rolls AND the rig is stationary. Your department EXCEEDS  NFPA 1500 compliance for loading ALL hose. You cannot safely load hose, realistically, with firefighters riding on top of a moving rig and remain NFPA compliant. With our RollNRack Hose Management System, NO ONE STANDS OR RIDES ON MOVING RIGS TO LOAD HOSE, EVER!  Depend on RollNRack Tools for annual fire hose testing. Give us a call, we'll gladly tell you the differences between our system and any tool out there.

All RollNRack tools not only comply with, but exceed NFPA 1500 safety standards. With the liability of injuries, falls and even deaths, the days of riding on top of moving rigs are numbered.

NFPA compliance, while riding on top of moving rigs, using any kind of rig attachment, is very unrealistic. Ultimate safety is accomplished with stationary rigs while loading hose. No other tool on the market can claim to be safer or more efficient.

Safely, draining, rolling and loading all fire hose is our ONLY mission. The link for safely loading LDH under NFPA 1500 is here, on our site.

The RollNRack Hose Management System has a direct, positive impact on a firefighter's life immediately.

There are several. Safety and preventing injuries are the most important features. No more lifting of heavy LDH rolls. The rig is stationary-no more riding on top of moving rigs while loading hose. You may qualify for lower workers' comp insurance premiums. Expanding your manpower. You can routinely load all your hose with just two firefighters in about a minute a roll. Drain LDH easily and load all hose with ONE, portable combined tool. Efficiency-with any of our tools OR our Efficiency Package, you give a two or three man crew the tools to be as efficient as possible and remain NFPA 1500  compliant for loading LDH. Quality construction- Nothing compares to a RollNRack! Take a look at these advantages and I think you'll agree that our system includes the best, portable, powered 5" fire hose roller on the market today as well as have the ability to drain, roll and load all the smaller diameter hose easily. Just click on the videos and see for yourself!

Call us and we'll customize a package just for your firefighters that will allow them to work efficiently and save you money.

No, this combination’s advantages are in protecting a firefighter from injuries (heavy hose rolls are rocked into the RollNRack or GO-Pack units, not lifted) while expanding your manpower in loading LDH. You can load LDH with two firefighters- everytime! It also provides an easy method for draining straight LDH lays that is fast and efficient. This GO-Pack is the only tool on the market that can efficiently drain LDH with one firefighter, assist in loading ALL hose and is collapsible! All of our equipment is built for all weather durability- don't be fooled by cheap imitations.

The FASTBACK rolls up either 50' lengths of attack lines or 100' lengths of forestry hose. Fire hose is rolled up quickly using a PATENT PENDING coupling jaw fork. Other manual fire hose rollers roll the hose with a couple of pins that can be difficult to get the roll off of. Our FASTBACK hose roller is portable for use at the station or at the scene. It has a  reflective shoulder strap and reflective stickers for great night time visibility of the operator. Our fire hose roller is all aluminum with stainless steel hardware for all weather use and is maintenance free.

All RollNRack Tools are Made In The USA.

It depends. If you routinely drop LDH in large amounts, I would consider it. 4,000' of LDH drained and rolled, at 30 seconds a length, was always our goal. It should be capable of draining and rolling another five to ten lengths between 30 & 37 seconds a length. The XL unit has the same capacity. That's 4,000'-5,000' of LDH drained and rolled in a reasonable amount of time. After that, times will gradually increase.

Our customers include several hose testing and petrochemical companies and they have no complaints, but by their circumstances, do order an extra pack.

The RollNRack System is customizable. Your system depends on how you want your firefighters to operate and your budget. If you want just one tool that automatically drains and rolls hose with the push of a button, the Power Roller is a great choice. Use the Power Roller to load hose after it's rolled. If you want to load hose at the same time while the Power Roller is in operation, then you need the Efficiency Package. With that package there is no down time (the operations are simultaneous). This cuts your hose management time in half. You can also decide what tools to use when. The GO-Pack can be stored in a rig compartment and is available anytime for you. If you're hose testing, use them both like they were meant to be used.

 If your firefighters don't mind rolling up hose, then maybe you just want the RollNRack or collapsible GO-Pack for loading hose- this operation is done safely with just two firefighters and LDH rolls are never lifted. That's a great advantage for preventing back injuries.          

 Regardless of your choice, no one rides on a moving rig to load hose- EVER! That's ultimate safety.

Yes, The Power Roller attachment can be bolted to a RollNRack unit in about an hour with standard hand tools. Directions are on YouTube and on our DVD. This makes it easier to budget the Power Roller.

The beauty of the RollNRack System is that you can tailor the tools to your department's needs. Start with a RollNRack, add the Power Roller attachment a year later, then purchase another RollNRack a year after that. When purchasing the Power Roller attachment at the same time as a RollNRack unit, you get it installed, tested, battery pack charged and ready to go- you also save $145.

The GO-Pack (collapsible RollNRack unit) cannot be transformed into a Power Roller unit.

With the drainer off the front, the battery box off and the handle retracted, you can transport the Power Roller in some compartments. You would also need to store the drainer and battery pack as well. I have placed a picture on the Power Roller pics page to show that even in the fullest compartments , the unit fits well even without a slide out tray. The Power Roller specs page has the dimensions- just remember you need some wiggle room to get it in and out. It's about 90 lbs and can be placed in and out of the rig by two firefighters.

The Power Roller is portable, rugged, battery-operated and easy to use. It's the greatest fire hose roller on the market and it's meant to be used in all weather.

We now also have the GO-Pack. A collapsible RollNRack unit that stows in any rig compartment. The Efficiency Package w/GO-Pack rack is the answer for hose management at the station and at the scene.

Yes, it's true- especially working with large diameter hose. The rigs are stationary, meaning two firefighters are used to get back in service. We believe the RollNRack is the best fire hose loader/reloader on the market today for all hose, 1 1/2" to 5" LDH. The RollNRack XL reloads up to 7 1/4" hose with two or three firefighters as well. 

There are other fire hose loaders/rollers on the market, but with the RollNRack, you don't lift or carry any large diameter hose after it's rolled or when you want to load the hose onto the truck. The RollNRack also adjusts to any hose diameter easily. This makes it the easiest to use and safest LDH loader on the market. When you're only using two firefighters to safely load hose, you gain firefighters for other chores, allowing you to expand your manpower.

Depend on RollNRack Tools every year for annual fire hose testing! This system will vastly improve your firefighter's quality of life immediately.

We have a RollNRack Presentation Kit on our site here. There is a report on "The Economic Consequences Of Firefighter Injuries And Their Prevention " along with two magazine reviews. We know there are other hose management options for your department. We are aware of all the tools on the market today.

Give us a call and talk to CEO/Firefighter Javier Fernandez. He will gladly tell you the differences between our system and any tool out there.

With the RollNRack System, you never expose your department to the liabilities of loading fire hose whle rigs are in motion or the lifting of heavy LDH rolls.

Yes, it does-many departments have purchased our system with a grant. In your AFG application, just write in variations of the following:

"The RollNRack Hose Management System brings our department up to NFPA 1500 Standards for safely loading large diameter hose, voluntarily. We are providing the safest method of hose management operations by preventing anyone from riding on top of moving apparatus. With the RollNRack System we are also preventing injuries, working ergonomically, stretching our manpower and promoting safety standards that no other tool on the market can provide."
