The Pack Mule™ Ergonomic Hosebed (patent pending) from Pierce gets fire fighters off the top of the truck. It hydraulically deploys a full-size hosebed to waist level (38" - 44") within 26 seconds. And, when you're done, the Pack Mule – living up to its name – makes the job a whole lot easier. You don't have to stand, crawl, or hunch over in the hosebed.

It's more comfortable, more convenient, and requires far less exertion and can minimize the risk of shoulder injury. And an independent analysis by an ergonomic expert indicates that using the Pack Mule can reduce spinal compression for firefighters by 90% compared to a traditional hosebed. With the Pack Mule, firefighters spend less time on top of the truck and more time on top of the situation.
