How is it used?

Operators simply load the cabinet with either PPE or hose (not both simultaneously), select the appropriate preset drying cycle, and start the unit. The gear cycle runs for 3 hours, while the hose cycle runs for 10 hours. The cabinet’s airflow and heating system ensure thorough drying without compromising material integrity.

Who uses it?

This dryer is primarily used by fire departments, emergency response teams, and multi-engine stations that require efficient drying solutions for both gear and hoses. It’s ideal for facilities that prioritize NFPA compliance and equipment longevity.

Maintenance information

Routine maintenance includes cleaning the exhaust port, inspecting hangers and shelves for wear, and checking electrical connections. The powder-coated and galvanized surfaces are easy to wipe down, and the unit should be serviced annually to ensure optimal performance.

Storage information

The dryer is a freestanding, soft-mount unit and should be installed in a well-ventilated utility or gear room. Ensure clearance around the exhaust port and maintain a dry, clean environment to prevent corrosion or electrical issues.
