The Hosecat
The HoseCat is an innovative fire hose spanner tool designed to aid firefighters in the efficient handling of NST (National Standard Threaded) and STORZ hose couplings. This state-of-the-art fire hose uncoupling tool comes in three distinct styles, each tailored to meet specific requirements in the field.
HoseCat 1: The Fire Hose Coupling Tool for NST Couplings
HoseCat 1 is a groundbreaking hose coupling assist tool enabling a single firefighter to quickly and safely uncouple or recouple NST couplings up to 4 inches. This advancement significantly enhances the speed and safety of fire hose handling, reducing the time and effort traditionally required.
HoseCat II: Specialized for 4” or 5” Storz-type Couplings
HoseCat II is specially designed for 4” or 5” Storz-type couplings, proving particularly beneficial for Storz couplings with thumb locks. Its ergonomic design facilitates effortless handling of larger couplings, a crucial aspect in high-pressure situations.
HoseCat III: Versatility for Mixed Hose Types
For fire trucks equipped with both NST and Storz couplings, HoseCat III is the ideal solution. This versatile tool ensures that firefighters can efficiently manage any type of hose coupling, enhancing operational flexibility.
Enhanced Safety and Usability with HoseCat
Ergonomic Design for Injury Prevention
By mounting the HoseCat permanently on the apparatus at a safe working height, the risk of injury from using traditional fire hose spanner tools is significantly reduced. This ergonomic design prevents the need for firefighters to stand on hoses, which can cause damage and pose safety risks.
User-Friendly and Adaptable
All operations with the HoseCat can be performed with bare or gloved hands, showcasing its user-friendly design. The tool is hinged for easy transition from stowaway to working position and accommodates a wide range of hose coupling sizes, from 1.5″ to 4″ and 5″ diameter hoses.
Technological Breakthrough in Fire Hose Handling
The HoseCat represents a significant technological advancement in fire hose handling. It enables proper tightening of hose couplings when loading hose beds and eliminates the need for two firefighters or multiple fire hose spanner tools to uncouple hoses.
Durable and Long-lasting Construction
The HoseCat is constructed from stainless steel. Its durable design is aimed at ensuring the tool lasts indefinitely. With this longevity, the HoseCat allows for easy transfer from older apparatus to newly purchased ones, providing many years of trouble-free use.
