Hands-Free Transport for Spare SCBA Cylinders The Cyli-Strap (Model CYL-1) is a simple yet essential tool for High-Rise and Rapid Intervention operations. It allows a single firefighter to carry two spare SCBA air cylinders comfortably over the shoulder or across the chest, freeing up hands for tools, handrails, or patient care. Designed for speed and reliability, it uses a self-tightening slip-knot design that secures instantly to the neck of any standard air cylinder. Key Features Dual Cylinder Carry: Loop ends are designed to hold two air bottles simultaneously, balancing the load for easier transport up stairwells or over uneven terrain. Slip-Knot Security: The sewn end loops create a natural slip-knot around the cylinder valve neck, tightening under the weight of the tank to prevent slipping. High-Strength Webbing: Constructed from 1.5-inch wide nylon webbing with a tensile strength of 2,500 lbs, ensuring it can handle the weight of heavy steel or composite cylinders. Hoisting Capability: Can be tied to a rope line to hoist cylinders to upper floors or lower them into confined spaces or trenches. Why It Matters Moving spare air to the staging area is a logistical bottleneck. Carrying cylinders by hand is fatiguing and takes a hand out of the fight. The Cyli-Strap solves this by turning the cylinders into a sling load. Whether you are hiking into a wildland incident or climbing 30 flights of stairs, this strap keeps the air supply moving with the team. How to Use Loop: Pass one end of the strap through the handle/neck of the first cylinder. Slip: Feed the strap back through its own end loop to create a girth hitch (slip knot) around the valve neck. Repeat: Do the same for the second cylinder on the other end of the strap. Carry: Sling the strap over your shoulder; the weight of the tanks keeps the knots tight. Technical Overview Weighing just 13 oz, the strap is 42.5 inches long, the perfect length to keep cylinders from dragging on the ground while walking. The high-visibility red webbing ensures the strap is easily located in low-light conditions. Compliance & Origin Made in the USA. - Berry Compliant
