QLFA Lay Pack (Blue, Empty)

What is the QuickLay System?
The QuickLay System is comprised of three purpose built hose stowage and deployment packs. The packs combine to provide a flexible solution to rapid and reliable re-hose lay.

While the best hose lay strategy will vary from incident to incident, remaining constant is the need to fulfil two:

Common requirements:
1. Stretch (Lay) hose between a pressurised water supply and an area at or near to the entry point of the hostile environment (smoke & fire).
2. Deploy (Coil) hose in such a manner that allows firefighters to advance into the hostile environment without tangles, kinks or excess friction or catch points.

The QuickLay System is the first end-to-end solution for these common hose lay requirements.

How the QuickLay System Works
Using the Attack Pack with the Lay Pack the QuickLay System gives fire fighters the ability to deploy two fire attack lines 60m/200ft in less than 60 seconds.

For long distances the hose from the Lay Pack is deployed ‘on-the-y’ as the fire fighter travels in a direction the hose can be ready to charge as quickly as the fire fighter covers the distance.

For shorter distances, the hose from the Lay Pack can be easily deployed into manageable lengths of hose – stretched straight from the pack.

The Attack Pack deploys into a coil and can be easily advanced into the fire affected compartment. If required, the Big Lay Pack can be used to stretch a larger hose towards the fire and can then be controlled with a gated wye/breaching piece. This gives additional crews the ability to get to work instantly from the second outlet.

Our three innovative fire storage devices synergise to set the new industry standard in rapid, kink and tangle-free fire hose deployment.

Lay Packs
The Lay Pack stores an attack line, adapters and reducers.

It deploys hose ‘on-the-fly’ or as the fire fighter covers the distance – ideal for laying hose in a restricted space or simply stretching hose between the water supply and the Attack Pack.
