About
The Mentor Hose Ramp is designed to maintain traffic, while protecting a 3" fire hose. The ramp performs the function of protecting hose, pipe, cable, fuel lines...
Originally fabricated in 1962 for the use of local fire companies, the Mentor Hose Ramp has been in continuous production and sold to thousands of fire departments across the country and around the world.
In the 1990s an inquiry by a utility construction firm indicated a use for the ramp by construction companies. Municipal water departments, sewer rehabilitation companies, horizontal drillers, environmental cleanup companies, fiber optic contractors, communications firms, telecommunication and electric companies, marinas, festival producers have found varied uses.
[Stackable] 12 ft of aluminum ramps gets you across one lane of traffic. And at the end of the day, the 6-2 foot sections can be easily stacked and thrown in the back of a truck.
[Load tested] Destructive testing found the breaking point of our hose ramps to be 47,500 pounds per wheel.
[Best use] For ultimate reliability, place the ramps at a 30 degree angle to the flow of traffic, so vehicles cross the ramps one wheel at a time.
