Handling a heavy hose while fighting fires has always been a significant challenge for firefighters. Traditional fire hoses used in conventional systems are cumbersome, and deploying them from the truck requires much manual effort. This also means that many people are needed to operate fire suppression systems, limiting their practicality. The HYTRANS hose handling system has revolutionised this by enabling the rapid deployment of large-diameter hoses, as well as their efficient and quick recovery.
Years of testing have resulted in a large-diameter hose specifically designed for the HYTRANS system.
How Does the HYTRANS Fire-Fighting Hose Solve the Problem?
The large-diameter fire hose in the HYTRANS mobile water supply system is paired with an effective hose handling mechanism. Its rapid deployment and automatic recovery features mean that only a few people are needed to operate it. The hose is robust and durable, capable of delivering large volumes of water at high pressure. Yet, it’s easy to lay out and manage, even in congested urban environments.
Key Features of HYTRANS Large Diameter Fire Hose
The HYTRANS fire hose has undergone extensive testing to ensure optimal performance in critical situations. Moreover, it has consistently proven to be the best solution for transporting high volumes of water over long distances.
This firefighting hose offers:
- Minimal elongation (stretching) to prevent snaking at high-pressure levels
- Sufficient flexibility to enable a short bend radius, crucial for areas with limited accessibility, such as municipal or industrial zones
- A robust and durable hose and couplings, designed to withstand high-speed deployment (up to 40 km per hour)
- A high burst pressure rating, well above the required service pressures for safety
