Heavy-Duty Transport for 200ft Hose Loads The R&B Fabrications 200 Foot Hose Strap is the largest capacity carrier in the series, engineered specifically for managing extensive 1¾” attack lines. Designed to secure up to 200 feet of double-jacketed hose, this reinforced system allows engine companies to organize, transport, and deploy massive amounts of line for deep setbacks, commercial structures, or long-distance standpipe operations.
Key Features
-
Maximum 200ft Capacity: Optimized to hold a massive 150 to 200-foot bundle of 1¾” double-jacketed attack hose, accommodating the longest standard pre-connects.
-
Reinforced Structural Spine: Built around a stiff nylon spine that connects the four straps, distributing the extreme weight of 200 feet of hose to prevent sagging and ensure the bundle stays rigid.
-
Quad-Strap Security: Features four heavy-duty Velcro® quick-release straps that compress the large bundle tightly, keeping it intact during transport.
-
Two-Person Carry System: Equipped with two molded rubber grip handles sewn onto the top spine, allowing for a balanced two-person lift or a secure single-person drag/carry.
-
Rapid Deployment: The Velcro release tabs allow for instant payout of the line—simply pull to drop the hose and charge.
-
High-Visibility Safety: Integrated 3M™ reflective trim ensures the bundle is visible in smoke or low-light fireground conditions.
Why It Matters When you need to stretch 200 feet of line, "hand-jacking" loose hose is inefficient and exhausting. This strap system turns a chaotic pile of hose into a single, structured unit. It is essential for scenarios where the engine cannot get close to the fire, requiring a long, organized stretch that won't kink or tangle before it reaches the door.
How to Use Fold your 200-foot hose section into a horseshoe or accordion load. Lay the strap system spine-down. Wrap the four Velcro straps around the bundle and cinch tight. Use the dual handles to lift the heavy pack out of the hose bed (ideally with a partner). Carry to the deployment point, release the straps, and flake out the line.
Technical Overview This model (HS-200) is the "big brother" to the HS-100 and HS-150. It features the same stiff spine technology but adds a fourth strap and spacing optimized for the volume of 200 feet of hose. The dual handles are critical for managing the weight of this specific loadout.
Commercial Structure Fires: Deploying long lines into warehouses or big-box stores.
Garden Apartments: Reaching units deep within complexes where engines cannot drive.
Rural Water Supply: Extending lines from a tanker or hydrant.
Standpipe Operations: Managing extra hose for upper floors.
Wildland Interface: Moving large volumes of structural hose to protect exposures.
