Darley Safe Roll Hose Roller

The Darley Safe Roll Hose Roller is a firefighter-designed hose rolling device created to provide a safer, faster, and more efficient way to roll lay-flat fire hose while improving manual handling and situational awareness.

Features

• Safety-focused design: Primarily engineered as a safety device to reduce operator risk during hose rolling
• Injury reduction: Helps reduce back and knee injuries by improving manual handling techniques
• Reduced exposure: Minimizes operator contact with hose to help limit the spread of carcinogens and contaminants
• Controlled hose placement: Places the hose on the ground instead of dropping it from height, reducing damage and risk

Efficiency and Time Savings

• Fast operation: Significantly faster than hand rolling
• Single-operator use: Requires only one operator to roll hose
• Productivity gain: Can increase hose rolling efficiency by up to 400%

Hose Handling and Performance

• Multiple rolling styles: Supports straight, on the bight, on the coupling, and double Dutch or twin donut rolling styles
• Wide hose compatibility: Rolls hose diameters from 25mm to 76mm (1–3")
• Long hose capability: Handles hose lengths up to and greater than 30m (100ft)
• Terrain versatility: Rolls hose over most rural and urban firefighting environments
• Drain while rolling: Allows attack lines up to 45mm (1.75") to drain in one motion during rolling
• Improved carry point: Leaves a central carry point once rolled for better manual handling

Durability and Design

• Lightweight construction: Weighs only 7kg (15lbs)
• Compact and collapsible: Designed for easy transport and storage
• Robust build: Constructed for operational use with modular components
• Serviceable design: Modular construction allows easy part replacement if damaged in the line of duty
• Reduced hose wear: Patented design reduces drag on couplings and hose, extending hose life

How is it used?

The Safe Roll Hose Roller is operated by a single firefighter to roll lay-flat hose quickly and safely. The hose is guided through the roller using the preferred rolling style, allowing the operator to maintain situational awareness while reducing physical strain and exposure.

Who used it?

The Safe Roll was designed by operational firefighters for use by rural and urban firefighters who require a safer and more efficient method for rolling fire hose in real-world operational environments.

Maintenance information

The Safe Roll features a robust, modular construction that allows individual components to be replaced if damaged, supporting continued operational use and long-term durability.

Storage information

The unit is lightweight, compact, and collapsible, making it easy to store in fire appliances, stations, or equipment rooms when not in use.
