Hose Winder

The Hose Winder is a heavy-duty hose rolling system designed to help fire departments quickly wind tight coils or donut rolls of fire hose with minimal effort. This rugged device is engineered for one-person operation, making it ideal for use in high-stress environments where time and physical strain are critical factors. By reducing the need for multiple people to manage hose winding, the Hose Winder not only saves labor but also improves overall efficiency during hose maintenance and preparation. Its integrated roller guide plays a key role in this process by removing trapped air and water as the hose is wound, which helps extend the service life of the hose and simplifies storage conditions.

Constructed for dependable performance in demanding fire service environments, the Hose Winder is compatible with mobile, stationary, and fixed hose racks that feature 2½-inch square tubular frames. This compatibility ensures that the unit can be integrated into existing infrastructure without requiring significant modifications. The Hose Winder efficiently winds fire hose sizes ranging from 1" to 2½", producing tight, uniform coils suitable for both storage and deployment scenarios. An optional trailer hitch mount (TM-2) allows the unit to be attached directly to a vehicle, enhancing portability and convenience during emergency operations or routine maintenance tasks. The Hose Winder ships knocked down for reduced freight costs and straightforward assembly, making it a practical choice for departments that require quick setup and easy transportation.

Whether used for hose maintenance, cleaning, storage, or apparatus preparation, the Hose Winder provides firefighters with a durable, efficient, and labor-saving solution for managing fire hose. Its design ensures that hose is wound consistently and safely, reducing the risk of damage during handling. The unit’s ability to produce uniform rolls also helps in maintaining organized equipment, which is essential in high-traffic areas like fire stations and apparatus bays. By incorporating features such as the roller guide and optional trailer hitch mount, the Hose Winder addresses key challenges faced by firefighters in managing hose inventory and ensuring readiness for rapid deployment.
