With RollNRack tools, SAFETY is the main priority-not how cheaply we can get the tools built for- but there will always be cheap knock offs that claim to do the same. The RollNRack Hose Management System is truly portable. Other "portable" fire hose reels on the market are just too bulky and have to be mounted on a trailer hitch or on top of your rigs- logistically, this doesn't make any sense. With RollNRack tools, one firefighter can drain and roll all your hose, ergonomically. After draining and rolling, you can load each roll safely with just two firefighters- never lifting LDH hose rolls AND with the rig stationary. Your department remains NFPA 1500 compliant for loading hose. You can also decide to rock the rolls out of the Power Roller safely. Another tool on the market that draws up hose, requires additional firefighters to ride AND STAND, on top of moving rigs, putting even more firefighters at risk for falls and injuries.

We believe that 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 RIDES OR STANDS ON MOVING RIGS TO LOAD HOSE, EVER! 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.

All RollNRack tools are designed to comply with NFPA 1500. With 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 staionary rigs while loading hose.

Safely, draining, rolling and loading all fire hose is our ONLY mission. The link for safely loading LDH under NFPA 1500 is here, http://www.rollnrack.com/NFPA.cfm on our site.

The RollNRack Hose Management System is the safest possible hose management system on the market-period.

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 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. Just click on the videos and see for yourself!

No, this combination’s advantages are in protecting a firefighter from injuries (hose rolls are rocked into the RollNRack unit, 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 is the only tool on the market that can efficiently drain LDH with one firefighter and assist in loading the hose! All of our equipment is built for all weather durability- don't be fooled by cheap imitations.

No, but it does have a brush that removes debris off the bottom of the hose. If it ever wears out, the old brush is easily replaced. While the fire hose is rolled, you can always spray the hose down with a garden hose.

It depends. If you routinely drop LDH in large amounts, I would consider it. The 3,000'- 4,000' of LDH drained and rolled, in 30 seconds, was always our goal. It should be capable of draining and rolling another five to ten lengths between 30 & 37 seconds. 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.

Yes, The Power Roller attachment can be bolted to a RollNRack fire hose cart in about an hour with standard hand tools. Directions are on our videos page here- http://www.rollnrack.com/media.cfm, and on our 2008 DVD.

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, battery charged and ready to go- you also save $225.

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.

Yes, it's true- especially working with large diameter hose. 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.

Just call or email us with your name, department, phone, fax, what system you want quoted and where you want it shipped. We will fax it to you as soon as possible. You can also get an idea on pricing after you add products to cart on this site. After you fill out the form, just click "Get a quote" instead of "Check Out". You can then print the page, prior to clicking the "complete quote" button.

We do and could work up a quote for you to consider your savings options. You would be a prime candidate for a split package of Power Rollers and RollNRack units. This cuts down on back in service time to less than half of what it would've taken you without the RollNRack Tools while making everyone on scene as efficient as possible.

It depends on what time of year you order.  Right now, January 2010, all orders should ship within two weeks.

Power Rollers ship, fully assembled, via Roadway- on a pallet. RollNRack/ Drain Attachment orders ship via UPS Ground in Boxes. Overseas orders are usually shipped in boxes and the customer must assemble, instructions are on our DVD and on the videos page of this site.

Yes, it does-many departments have purchased our system with a grant. In your AFG application, write in "The RollNRack Hose Management System brings your department up to NFPA 1500 Standards for safely loading large diameter hose, voluntarily."

RollNRack Tools have a direct, positive impact on firefighters' health and safety.

While we do not do GSA, we have sold to all four branches of the US Armed Forces- and even the Canadian Armed Forces directly. We have units in Australia, Azerbaijan, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Japan and other countries as well.

Yes, we accept American Express, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover but have an additional amount added to the order.
Charge card information can be given over the phone when ordering, and is not charged until the order is shipped.

Just fax the PO into us, if you use them, or you can call us to confirm the order. Mail in the $2,000 check as a down payment. The balance would be due thirty days after it ships. Another option would be to pay the entire amount, by check, on a Net Fifteen, after it ships. Credit cards are accepted but have an additional amount added to them.

We have a RollNRack Presentation Kit on our site here- http://www.rollnrack.com/moreinfo.cfm . 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.
