Strut Storage
Looking for some great information on compartment layouts for strut storage?
Strut Storage
Storing struts on an apparatus is always a hot topic during vehicle design and construction. Mounting and storing struts vertically often requires a tall compartment. Struts with seals are best stored vertically. If struts are not used periodically for training or incidents and stored horizontally, flat spotting on the seals is possible.
A new Facebook page that is posting some great material in some short video clips is National Fire Radio. The passionate brothers post excellent tips on apparatus design, compartment storage, and equipment storage. Make sure you follow National Fire Radio on their Facebook page!
