Moving SCBAs out of the crew cab? Comfortably don compartment stored SCBAs from your choice of two different heights. The Quic-Slide Swing-Down SCBA Bracket slides out over the lip of the compartment, then swings down to a convenient height for quick, safe, and easy donning from a comfortable standing position. It offers flexible height for different personnel—a firefighter can choose to deploy swing-down for lower access, or simply slide out and don from the higher stored position. The Quic-Slide Swing-Down SCBA Bracket is great for storing first attack SCBAs outside of the crew cab and for reducing firefighter exposure to harmful carcinogens.
