Rapid-Deployment Hose Management for High-Rise & Standpipe Ops Streamline your hose lays with the R&B Fabrications Cleveland Straps, a dedicated system designed to manage the "Cleveland Load" (or "Cleveland Lay"). Engineered for high-rise operations and cross-lay deployment, this strap set secures 100 feet of 1¾” attack line into a tight, manageable coil that can be carried over the shoulder and deployed instantly in narrow corridors or stairwells.

Key Features

  • Cleveland Load Optimized: Specifically designed to secure a 100-foot coil of 1¾” hose, creating a compact bundle that deploys without kinks when charged.
  • "Cleveland Grip" Design: Features a looped cinching system utilizing 2-inch wide nylon webbing that tightens securely around the hose bundle during transport.
  • Quick-Release Hardware: Equipped with 2-inch Nexus side-release buckles that are easy to manipulate even while wearing structural firefighting gloves.
  • Ergonomic Transport: Includes a removable shoulder strap, allowing firefighters to carry the bundle hands-free while climbing stairs or managing tools.
  • Rapid Deployment: Allows the firefighter to shoulder the bundle, walk forward, and automatically pay out the line from the hose bed or drop point.
  • Versatile Application: Ideal for standpipe operations, extending lines from a gated wye, or organizing cross-lay pre-connects.

Why It Matters In high-rise firefighting, speed and hose management are critical. A loose hose pack is a tripping hazard and a deployment nightmare. The Cleveland Strap system transforms a chaotic 100-foot line into a dense, organized package that can be carried by one firefighter and deployed in a confined space (like a stairwell landing) without creating a "spaghetti" mess.

How to Use Coil your 100-foot length of 1¾” hose according to the Cleveland Load circular pattern. Wrap the three securing straps around the coil and cinch tight using the Nexus buckles. Attach the shoulder strap. When deploying, place the bundle on the floor (or shoulder it), connect to the standpipe or wye, release the straps, and charge the line. The coil naturally expands without kinking.

Technical Overview The system is constructed from heavy-duty 2-inch nylon webbing, chosen for its resistance to abrasion and heat. The "Royal Blue" color provides easy identification in low-light environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do firefighters choose the Cleveland Straps over traditional hose bundles?▸

The Cleveland Straps system combines the Cleveland Load and Cleveland Grip to enable rapid shoulder-carry deployment that automatically feeds 100 feet of 1¾" hose from the bed as you walk forward. Unlike traditional bundles, the 2" nylon webbing with Nexus quick side-release buckles works even with gloves on, and the looped cinching system keeps your hose secure during transport. The removable shoulder strap provides ergonomic mobility that reduces fatigue during standpipe operations or gated wye connections, making it ideal for high-rise and extended deployment scenarios.

Can the Cleveland Grip handle 100 feet of 1¾" hose with the nozzle already attached?▸

Yes, the Cleveland Grip is specifically designed to hold 100 feet of 1¾" fire hose with the nozzle attached (SKU M/S-CHLS). The looped cinching system ensures a tight, secure grip on the entire bundle, and at just 24 oz and 37" in length, it's lightweight enough for rapid deployment without sacrificing capacity. This makes it perfect for standpipe operations where you need the nozzle ready to go.

How does the Cleveland Load work with cross lay and hose bed configurations?▸

The Cleveland Load is designed to be connected to and laid on top of a 100-foot length of pre-attached hose in your cross lay or hose bed. When prepared correctly, the Cleveland Lay should match the length of your pre-connect. During deployment, firefighters simply pull the hose bundle over the shoulder and walk forward—the system automatically deploys the remaining 100 feet from the hose bed, streamlining setup and reducing deployment time in high-pressure situations.

Is the Cleveland Straps system compatible with existing fire department hose management workflows?▸

Absolutely. The Cleveland Straps integrate seamlessly with standard cross lay, hose bed, and standpipe operation protocols used by fire departments and emergency response teams. The Royal Blue 2" nylon webbing with quick side-release buckles is designed for gloved hands, and the system works with existing gated wye connections. R&B Fabrications built this system specifically for firefighting professionals who need fast, reliable, and organized hose deployment without overhauling their current workflows.

What makes the Cleveland Grip's shoulder strap system better for standpipe operations?▸

The Cleveland Grip features a removable shoulder strap that provides ergonomic carrying options during extended standpipe operations or multi-floor deployments. The 2" Nexus quick side-release buckles allow for rapid adjustments even with structural firefighting gloves, and the looped cinching system keeps the 100-foot hose bundle stable during stair climbs or tight hallway navigation. At 24 oz, it won't add significant weight, and the 37" length distributes the load evenly across your shoulder for effortless mobility in critical situations.
