Overhead Tracks for Safer Operation: MagneGrip Sliding Balancer Track (SBT) System can be installed in each bay for single or tandem parked vehicles. It can be used for back in or drive through bays and connects to emergency or non-emergency vehicles. The constant tension balancer controls the cable that holds the hose in position. It is connected to a dual-glide trolley that moves inside the overhead track. When the alarm sounds and the vehicle exits, the trolley glides forward inside the track until it reaches a rubber end-stop. At that point, the hose extends to the threshold of the door and the nozzle automatically disconnects.

Ideal for Lower Ceilings and Narrow Spaces: MagneGrip’s Sliding Flexhose Track (SFT) is the most compact source-capture system available. It is the ideal system for firehouses with back-in bays that have low ceilings or narrow spaces between vehicles—needing only 19-24 inch aisles. The SFT system has no hanging hose loops that block access to doors or loading. The expandable Flexhose extends and retracts along the track as the apparatus moves forward and back. When the apparatus operator starts the engine, the exhaust fan activates automatically. As the apparatus moves forward, the Flexhose extends to the end-stop and the nozzle automatically releases at the threshold of the door. The no-loop Flexhose system is completely sealed so no toxic exhaust fumes escape into the firehouse. When the apparatus returns to the firehouse, the fan switches on as the MagneGrip nozzle connects to the tailpipe. The apparatus is then backed into the bay.
