If you are interested in carrying a section of 2.5" during the stair climb, here is the recommended method for folding that section. It's the way that many department's in the Denver metro area are now storing their high-rise hose bundles, and we would be happy to share more information with you at your request. Just shoot us an e-mail using the 'Contact Us' form. We can also provide information on where to obtain the straps used in the load.
