the guy on the left rolling wasnt even trying

Great, but the hose drags the floor and damages the exterior sleeve and connections. Note such a great idea.

@b1jnza49 Note the plastic protection on the end of the machine hose.

I'm amazed that this is in any way a novel idea. we've had garden hose rollers for years. Why only just recently did they think to do something similar for fire hoses?

ill have to relay this to our local fire dept.....i heard one of the crew blew a dick rolling and handling one of those hoses.

I don't know how this helps with injury prevention. You still have to lift heavy LDH rolls. There's a better answer to this unit, it's battery operated, portable and a person doesn't have to lift LDH rolls.

I dont get how this helps? Most depts load the hose into the beds or pre-conencts all this does is make a donut of hose.
