Universal Security for Fire Equipment and Hose The R&B Fabrications Single Gripper Strap is the ultimate multi-purpose utility strap for fire ground operations. Sold as a set of four, these adjustable cinch straps are constructed from industrial 3,000 lb. test webbing and feature rugged stainless steel buckles. Whether you are bundling a "Cleveland Load," securing a ladder, or lashing equipment to a truck, these straps provide a rock-solid hold that won't slip under tension.

Key Features

  • Industrial Strength: Made from heavy-duty 2-inch black nylon webbing with a tensile strength rating of 3,000 lbs, ensuring the strap never fails before the gear does.
  • Stainless Steel Hardware: Equipped with corrosion-resistant stainless steel buckles that allow for smooth tightening and quick release, even when wearing thick structural gloves.
  • Massive Adjustability: Expands from a compact 8” diameter up to 43”, making it versatile enough to secure anything from a small tool bundle to a large diameter hose coil.
  • Weather Resistant: The webbing is specially treated to resist mold, mildew, and rot, ensuring longevity even when stored wet in hose beds or compartments.
  • Set of Four: Sold as a complete kit of four straps, allowing you to outfit an entire hose pack or secure multiple tools with a single purchase.
  • Gloved Operation: The buckle design creates a large purchase point for easy manipulation in low-light or smoky conditions.

Why It Matters In the fire service, "if you can't secure it, you can't carry it." Flimsy cargo straps break or rot over time. The Single Gripper Strap is built to the same standard as life-safety gear. It is the "Swiss Army Knife" of hose management—simple, indestructible, and infinitely useful for creating impromptu handles, lashes, or bundles on the fly.

How to Use Wrap the strap around your hose bundle or equipment. Feed the webbing end through the stainless steel buckle. Pull tight to cinch the load; the teeth will grip the webbing securely. To release, lift the buckle tab. Use all four straps to create a stable, multi-point securement for long hose loads (like a Denver load).

Technical Overview This product (SGS-1) differs from the "Hose Wrapper" (SGS-2) in its simplicity. It lacks the reflective trim and specific "wrapper" leverage points, focusing instead on raw strength and utility with a traditional buckle system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the R&B Single Gripper Strap SGS-1 come in a set of four instead of individually?

The Single Gripper Strap (MPN: SGS-1) is engineered for maximum efficiency when used as a complete set of four on fireground operations. This configuration allows firefighters to secure and manage hoses at multiple points simultaneously, ensuring balanced weight distribution and controlled deployment during emergency situations. The four-strap system provides redundancy and faster hose handling compared to single-strap solutions, which is critical when seconds matter in fire suppression.

Can the R&B Single Gripper Strap adjust to fit both 1.75" and 2.5" fire hoses?

Yes. The Single Gripper Strap features an expandable length that adjusts from 8" to 43", making it compatible with standard 1.75", 2", and 2.5" fire hoses, as well as larger supply lines. The stainless-steel buckles allow quick adjustments even with gloved hands, and the 2" nylon webbing rated at 3,000 pounds provides secure grip across all hose diameters without slipping during deployment or transport.

How does the 3,000-pound webbing rating on the SGS-1 compare to standard hose straps?

The R&B Single Gripper Strap's 3,000-pound tensile strength significantly exceeds most standard hose straps, which typically rate between 1,500-2,000 pounds. This heavy-duty construction ensures the SGS-1 can handle fully charged hoses, rough handling during fireground operations, and the stress of rapid deployment without failure. The reinforced black 2" nylon webbing is also mold and mildew-resistant, maintaining its strength even after repeated exposure to water and humidity.

Will the stainless-steel buckles on the Single Gripper Strap corrode from constant water exposure?

No. R&B Fabrications uses stainless-steel buckles specifically to prevent corrosion and rust that plague standard steel hardware. The stainless construction ensures reliable operation even after years of exposure to water, foam, and harsh fireground chemicals. The buckles are also designed for easy operation in low-light conditions and remain functional when wet or frozen, making them ideal for all-weather emergency response.

At 21 ounces for a set of four, how does the SGS-1 weight compare to carrying loose hose bundles?

The complete set of four Single Gripper Straps weighs just 21 ounces (approximately 1.3 pounds), adding minimal weight to your gear while dramatically improving hose management efficiency. Compared to carrying loose, unstrapped hoses—which are awkward, time-consuming to deploy, and prone to tangling—the SGS-1 system saves valuable seconds during deployment and reduces physical strain on firefighters. The lightweight design won't slow you down, but the secure hose control will speed up your response.
