R&B Gripper Hose System – Metal Cam Buckles, 2,400 lb Webbing

The R&B Fabrications Gripper Hose System is a three-strap hose carrier for firefighters who want metal hardware on the bundle they shoulder. Each strap closes with a metal cam buckle that opens for quick release with a gloved hand, so the straps open without the gloves coming off.

The straps are 2" wide and 42" long, cut from 2,400-pound strength webbing to secure the hose. A padded shoulder strap and a semi-rigid cross strap are sewn together with all three straps into one system.

Why it works:

• Metal hardware at every closure: Every strap on the carrier closes on metal. All three straps use metal cam buckles.
• Gloves stay on to open it: Releasing the bundle does not mean pulling off gloves. The cam buckles are made so a gloved hand can release the straps.
• Rated webbing on every strap: Each strap is 2" wide and 42" long, in 2,400-pound strength webbing.
• Padding where the weight rides: The carry point is cushioned where it meets the shoulder. A padded shoulder strap is sewn into the assembly, joined by a semi-rigid cross strap.
• Adjusts across a wide range of bundles: The same carrier closes around smaller and larger rolls of hose. Each strap runs from 14" to 44" in circumference, and the system measures 27" overall.
