3 Key Tools for Maximizing Your Fire Apparatus Equipment Storage

Space in your fire apparatus is precious, yet you need to pack it with enough supplies and equipment to handle anything the job throws at you. This means that you need to make the most of every square inch of your vehicle and optimize it with storage solutions that can accommodate all of your fire command apparatus accessories. Luckily, using these three essential tools can help you maximize your fire apparatus equipment storage and help your firefighters stay organized on the job.

1. Designated Equipment Storage Areas

The phrase “a place for everything and everything in its place” applies perfectly to firefighter apparatus equipment storage. Your fire truck or vehicle should have a designated place for every piece of equipment you need, and that equipment should be in its proper place at all times when not in use. 

 

This is the best way to ensure that no equipment gets lost and that everything is easily accessible as soon as your firefighters need it. It will also help cut down on time spent completing inventory checks while increasing the accuracy with which they are completed. 

 

If you want to set your firefighters up for success, creating dedicated locations for each piece of equipment is essential. Troy Products has hundreds of products in its lineup that can help you maximize storage in every part of your public safety vehicle or fire apparatus.

 2. Customized Mounting Equipment

Mounting brackets will help you optimize your fire apparatus accessories storage by holding and protecting each piece of equipment securely. Troy Products has equipment mounts specially designed for computers, printers, and weapons, and we can create a custom mounting bracket for any piece of equipment you desire. 

 

Having customized mounts will allow you to securely organize and store every piece of fire apparatus equipment, ensuring everything has a place to be put away at the end of the day.

3. Command Posts with Pull-Out Trays

Pull-out trays are one of the most convenient ways to store your firefighter apparatus equipment. They provide your firefighters with greater visibility and easier access to all of their supplies, reducing response times and maximizing efficiency. 

 

If you’re stationed on a job away from your firehouse, command posts serve as a central hub for your staff. Troy Products’ command posts feature pull-out trays and drawers with secure draw-tight locking handles for the ultimate organization and safety while responding to an incident. 

 

You can also add on accessories such as map drawers, whiteboard modules, and mounting brackets to customize your command post and optimize it for your department’s unique operational needs.
