MagneGrip is a direct-source diesel exhaust capture system designed for fire stations. It uses a magnetic nozzle to attach securely to a vehicle’s exhaust pipe, capturing harmful diesel fumes before they can spread into the apparatus bay or station living areas.

The magnetic nozzle attaches to the exhaust tailpipe within seconds. When the apparatus starts, exhaust is immediately pulled through the system and safely vented outside. As the vehicle leaves the station, the nozzle automatically releases—making the process seamless for firefighters.

Diesel exhaust is a known carcinogen. Firefighters are repeatedly exposed to it inside apparatus bays where exhaust lingers, spreads into living quarters, and settles onto gear, clothing, and surfaces. Long-term exposure is linked to increased risks of lung cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory problems. MagneGrip helps prevent that by removing exhaust at the source.

Yes. The system is designed for speed, simplicity, and reliability. Firefighters attach the magnetic nozzle in seconds—no clamps, no complicated steps. The system detaches automatically as the truck drives out, ensuring consistent use even during high-pressure calls.

MagneGrip is compatible with most diesel fire apparatus, including engines, ladders, rescues, and ambulances. Adapters are available for departments with unique exhaust configurations.

MagneGrip units are built for fire station environments and daily use. Components are heavy-duty, heat-resistant, and engineered to withstand years of continuous operation with minimal maintenance.

Maintenance is minimal. Routine checks include hose condition, magnetic nozzle inspection, and verification that the fan and ventilation components are operating correctly. Most departments perform simple monthly checks as part of standard station maintenance.

No. MagneGrip can be installed in most existing stations without structural changes. Systems can be ceiling-mounted or adapted to a department’s existing bay layout.

• Captures diesel exhaust immediately at the source

• Reduces exposure to carcinogens and airborne toxins

• Prevents soot from contaminating gear, equipment, and living areas

• Helps departments comply with safety standards and cancer-prevention guidelines

• User-friendly—automatic release ensures consistent use

• Creates a cleaner, healthier environment for firefighters and staff

Ventilation dilutes exhaust—it doesn’t stop it. Diesel fumes can still spread through the bay and into the station. MagneGrip eliminates the problem at the source by capturing and removing exhaust before it can disperse.

While no system can eliminate all occupational risks, MagneGrip significantly reduces one of the most common and avoidable exposures in fire stations. By removing diesel exhaust at the source, departments take a major step toward lowering long-term cancer risk.

Yes. MagneGrip is fully aligned with national firefighter cancer-reduction programs and recommended best practices from health and safety organizations.

Most installations can be completed in a single day or over a short scheduled downtime, depending on the number of bays and station layout.

Absolutely. MagneGrip systems are frequently installed in older, smaller, and uniquely designed stations. The system’s modular design makes it adaptable to almost any layout.

MagneGrip offers:

• Exhaust Capture Systems (magnetic nozzle + airflow)

• Flexible hose systems to fit unique bay layouts

• Overhead rail systems for multiple apparatus or angled parking

• Hybrid solutions tailored to specialized stations

As the apparatus exits the bay, the magnetic nozzle disconnects at a preset tension point. Firefighters don’t need to manually detach the system, ensuring safe and consistent operation during emergency responses.

Yes. Installation includes hands-on training for crews and leadership. Additional training materials, refreshers, and support resources are available.

MagneGrip offers ongoing customer support, replacement parts, and warranty coverage depending on the system chosen. Departments receive long-term service and technical assistance to ensure optimal system performance.
