Abstract
An apparatus to handle and relocate rolled fire hose, the apparatus includes a frame, a rotating platform mounted to the frame, a pair of leg members joined by a pivot that splays and retracts the frame, and wheels mounted on the lower portion of each leg. The rotating platform is operable to rotate around an axis perpendicular to the splaying plane created by the legs. The collapsible apparatus, when upright, provides a two tined fork for straddling and lifting the lower perimeter of a rolled fire hose. When tilted rearwards onto the apparatus' wheels, the fork raises the rolled hose off the ground and thus enables “dollying” the rolled hose to any location. When the apparatus is oriented horizontally, the apparatus provides a means for easy, yet controlled uncoiling of the hose roll as the hose is fed to firefighters reloading the hose back onto fire truck's hose bed.
