The Model PS4/R8 turnout gear dryer from Williams Direct Dryers is a powerful and efficient solution for drying firefighter PPE quickly, thoroughly, and safely. Built with the needs of first responders in mind, this rugged and versatile unit is ideal for fire stations of all sizes. It combines durability, portability, and drying performance, making it a reliable choice for departments that prioritize gear readiness and firefighter safety.
At its core, the PS4/R8 is a 4-station fire gear dryer designed to dry four full sets of firefighter gear – each set consisting of a jacket, pants, boots, and gloves. This unit goes beyond the basics with 8 additional drying ports specifically made to handle other critical gear, such as facepieces, flash hoods, and helmets. With this added capacity, the PS4/R8 helps ensure that an entire ensemble, including all of the delicate components often go overlooked, can be dried in one go, helping to reduce moisture-related risks and extending the life of gear.
One of the standout features of the PS4/R8 is its three-way selector switch, which allows users to choose between ambient, room-temperature air or warmed air drying. This flexibility lets departments tailor the drying process based on time constraints, environmental conditions, or specific gear care requirements. The included wall timer helps ensure that drying times can be managed precisely and conveniently, minimizing unnecessary energy use and the risk of over-drying.
True to the Williams Direct Dryers reputation, the PS4/R8 is hand-built in North America using all-welded steel construction for superior strength and longevity. It is then powder coated to resist corrosion and wear, which is especially important in rugged environments like firehouses where equipment can take a daily beating. This level of craftsmanship helps ensure that the unit will perform dependably for years to come.
Unlike some stationary systems, the PS4/R8 is a portable PPE gear dryer, making it an excellent choice for fire stations where flexibility and mobility are important. The design allows it to be relocated as needed, whether to different areas of the station or to temporary setups at training facilities or emergency command centers. Its intuitive operation and plug-and-use functionality mean firefighters can begin using it with minimal training.
The Model PS4/R8 turnout gear dryer from Williams Direct Dryers is a rugged, efficient, and versatile gear drying system that addresses the needs of today’s fire service. From its high-capacity design to its durability and ease of use, it is a smart investment for fire departments that prioritize safety, gear longevity, and readiness.
