HOSE-PULL is a French manufacturer specializing in solutions that facilitate the movement and handling of hoses filled with fluids. Its system of omnidirectional casters supports the mobility of firefighting equipment and transfer lines, particularly when they are filled with water or under pressure.
Designed for both fire and rescue services and industrial environments, HOSE-PULL solutions reduce friction against the ground, facilitate changes in direction, and help hoses and their couplings navigate obstacles more easily.
HOSE-PULL is a French company that designs devices to make it easier to move hoses filled with fluids. Its technology addresses a real-world challenge faced by both fire departments and industry: once filled and pressurized, a hose can become difficult to move due to its weight, friction against the ground, and obstacles encountered by the couplings.
The principle developed by HOSE-PULL involves creating rolling points directly beneath the hose. This partially raises the hose, allowing it to be moved with less resistance than if it were sliding directly on the ground. The device follows the hose’s movements and facilitates its repositioning as field conditions change.
HOSE-PULL technology relies in particular on omnidirectional wheels, capable of following movements in multiple directions. The hose is therefore not restricted to a fixed axis and can more easily change course or go around equipment.
Keeping the hose off the ground is also beneficial when navigating uneven terrain or obstacles. By limiting direct contact with the ground, the device reduces friction and helps prevent metal couplings from snagging on certain features of the terrain.
HOSE-PULL developed this solution based on the needs and feedback of professional users. The manufacturer states that it holds four patents related to its device and continues to develop its solutions based on feedback from the various industries involved.
While handling fire hoses is one of HOSE-PULL’s most obvious applications, the technology is not limited to fire department operations. The challenges of moving long, heavy hoses are also present in many industrial environments.
The manufacturer specifically targets its solutions at civil protection agencies , industry, defense, sensitive and nuclear sites, the oil and gas sector, and certain aerospace applications. In these various contexts, the principle remains the same: to facilitate the movement of a fluid-filled line and reduce the challenges associated with handling it.
The HOSE-PULL system is designed around cradles that hold the hose and can be adapted to different diameters. The manufacturer offers several cradle sizes as well as adapters to accommodate other configurations.
For our product line, we have selected solutions suitable for DN45, DN70, and DN100 hoses. The configuration for DN45 uses an adapter to accommodate this diameter, which is commonly found in fire stations, while the other configurations cover larger-diameter lines.
Other customizations can also be considered when the installation or hose diameter requires a specific configuration.
At MMF Protection et Sécurité, we have incorporated HOSE-PULL into our line of hose accessories to provide an additional solution to the deployment, movement, and handling challenges encountered in the field.
Our selection currently includes configurations for DN45, DN70, and DN100 hoses. Our teams can also assist you in determining the configuration best suited to your hose diameter, facility type, and application requirements.
