Line Controller for modern attack lines
Range of application – EZPUP Line Controller:
Every firefighter knowhat it's ike to struggle with a charged line for long periods of time. It makes your arms tired just thinking abaout it. A team of designers working closely with experienced firefighters set out to solve this problem. The result is EZPUP - a hand-held line controller for use on attack lines.
Easier line handling with EZPUP keeps firefighters alert and reduces fire fatigue-related accidents. Strains and sprains are the most common of firefighter injuries. You'll find EZPUP reduces arm, wrist, back and hand problems related to line handling.
Simply connect the hose to one end and the nozzle to the other and you're ready to fight fire. The EZPUP's contoured shape fits against the firefighter's body like a rifle stock, transferring the reactionary forces of a charged line away from the arms and to a area of the body that has a larger muscle and bone mass.
The four most comfortable positions are the shoulder, waist, hip and thigh. All positions allow for one handes operation which means one hand is free to adjust the nozzle, signal for help etc. These positions also allow for the operator to stand erect, thus taking the twist and strain off the back. Now you can have control of a charged line in a safe way.
Fight fire, not fatigue.
