General Information
SmartDock is a hands-free self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) holder for fire
apparatus. In the event of a collision, the top claws lock from inertial forces for a secure
hold.
The unique feature of the SmartDock hands-free SCBA holder is that it removes the need
for the firefighter to perform any extra latching, buckling or strapping action when placing
the bottle in the bracket, or for removal.
Once installed per these instructions, the SmartDock is designed to meet EN1846-2 and
NFPA 1901 requirements without any extra action by the firefighter, other than properly
placing the bottle into the bracket.
The SmartDock uses inertia to keep the claws locked during deceleration. This inertial
action ensures that the SmartDock system will hold an SCBA bottle during an impact
caused by a crash.
Short of bolting the SCBA bottle to the structure of the cab, there is no way to guarantee
the bottle will always be retained if the crash is sufficiently severe. The SmartDock bracket
has been tested to meet EN1846-2 and NFPA 1901 requirements during a frontal crash.
This capability provides the optimum combination of convenience and strength, keeping
the bottle retained beyond European and NFPA requirements and eliminating the risk that
a firefighter will forget to engage the strap or the latch. For these reasons, we believe
SmartDock provides the safest solution to in-cab SCBA storage available today.
