Good to Know
Hardware is not stated.
Bright webbing helps crew members find their belts quickly in a dark cab.
Turnout gear can make buckling awkward, so a smooth reel matters on a fire truck.
Departments replacing several belts should confirm each seat's cable length.
Tug each fire truck belt to confirm it locks during apparatus checks.
Call 574-226-6676 with fire truck questions.
Engine company and tanker apparatus built on 1996-2002 International chassis often still answer calls in rural districts.
A 13 inch buckle cable places the latch close to the seat cushion, suiting seats without thick padding.
Firefighters in bunker coats need belts that pay out easily over bulky gear, and a new reel does that.
Apparatus committees in volunteer departments often approve belt replacement as part of routine safety work.
Many states require crews to be belted whenever the apparatus is moving, making working belts essential.
Diesel exhaust and smoke residue in a fire truck cab coat the webbing and stiffen it over time.
Red webbing is a traditional choice in fire apparatus and helps belts stand out.
Departments ordering belts for several seats should list each seat's cable length.
A 13 inch cable belt that is too short will not reach a high-mounted buckle; measure carefully.
Apparatus going through refurbishment often get new seats and belts together.
Weekly apparatus checks should include a sharp tug on each belt to confirm the reel locks.
Seatbelt Planet sells the 13 inch and 20 inch versions separately for these International trucks.
Belts in a reserve apparatus may sit unused for months and need replacing due to age.
Mutual-aid calls can send an older International engine across county lines at highway speed, a reminder that cab belts matter.
Small-town engine companies running a 13 inch stalk apparatus often order one strap at a time as budgets allow.
