GearGrid’s turnout gear locker started it all. Today, GearGrid has defined innovation by expanding its product offerings based on feedback and insights from fire departments and rescue personnel nationwide and abroad.

In early 1997, GearGrid co-owner and volunteer firefighter, Mike Boyer, designed a durable and well-ventilated storage system for the proper storage of his fire department’s personal protective equipment (PPE). After conducting a market analysis for firefighting storage, it was determined that there were good market opportunities for firefighting storage. Based on that, the product was launched in 1998.

New and innovative products

In the coming years, GearGrid would expand its products and quickly become a market pioneer in the U.S. Fire service for the storage of firefighting equipment, including turnout gear, hose, cylinder, and miscellaneous gear and equipment. 

Since the beginning, GearGrid has offered the strongest and most versatile line of storage equipment available for the fire industry. GearGrid continues to set the standard for craftsmanship, quality and service with the creation of new and innovative products.
