Motorized Hose Rolling Tool for Firefighter: Design and Fabrication Process

This paper addresses the critical problem of low back pain (LBP) among firefighters, particularly during hose rolling operations. The main objective is to lower the average probability of LBP risks by introducing a motorized hose roller for such activities. The development of this tool is guided by...
