Minuteman Hose Load

We recently adopted the minute man hose load. Its been put in to service and you will see it on our rigs. This video is to help get everyone on the same page. The goal with this load, and the reason we went with it, is for the superior hose management and deployment it provides. Being a shoulder load it allows us to take as much hose closer to our target entrance as possible. This alleviates the rats nest next to the engine we would fight with with our old load. This is new for us and has a learning curve. We encourage you to come down anytime and practice pulling it and learning the technique.


Key point when reloading it. The drag loops go in at bites 3 and 6. These are in place to clear all hose from the bed and then take as much of that bottom 100' closer to the door.
