The GearGrid Difference

In 1997, GearGrid launched what would quickly become the industry standard in turnout gear lockers. Since then, other look-a-like products have come and gone, but none have stood the test of time. That’s because when you clear out the smoke and mirrors and stack up the facts, it becomes crystal clear where the best value lies.

Fire/EMS Storage Equipment FAQs

What is the GearGrid Difference regarding American manufacturing?

Every GearGrid product is designed with durability and longevity in mind. Each product is created here in Forest Lake, MN, using premium ASTM-spec steel, and without any outsourcing or shortcuts. We have been at the cutting edge of metal fabrication since 1921, and we use over a century of expertise to provide exceptional quality control and reduced lead times compared to manufacturers from overseas. 

How do GearGrid’s hose drying racks comply with NFPA 1851 standards?

NFPA 1851 requires all departments to clean, inspect, and store all protective equipment to high standards to maintain equipment integrity. GearGrid’s hose drying and storage systems keep the hose off the floor, allowing it to gain additional airflow to accelerate drying, and reducing exposure to potential contaminants in the process. 

What accessories are available for GearGrid lockers?

Most GearGrid firefighter lockers come standard with adjustable top and bottom shelves, three apparel hooks, a back panel, and a nameplate holder. They are also compatible with a wide range of additional accessories designed to enhance functionality and organization. Whether you need heavy-duty apparel hooks, Stow-Away Seats, stainless steel hangbars, or SecureBox storage for valuables, GearGrid has the perfect firefighter locker organizer accessories to upgrade your gear storage.

How do you properly store and dry fire hoses to extend their lifespan?

Be sure to rinse hoses after every call, and dry them in a well-ventilated space until they are totally dry. Never coil a wet hose, as the trapped moisture will risk mold and liner deterioration. GearGrid’s mobile hose drying and winding systems can make this process fast and simple by bringing the storage to the hose, rather than the other way around.

What are the top-rated American-made equipment storage brands for fire departments?

GearGrid has been leading in this industry since 1997.
