Swedish term or phrase: rökdykarryggar
Upphängningsklossar för remställ på andningsapparater monteras på bakre rökdykarryggar

This is from a description of the inside of a fire engine. I'm not sure if rökdykarryggar is smoke-diving, as seems to exist, or simply fire-fighting - and "ryggar" - backs? Grateful for any help, thanks.

The answer should be "brackets" not "bracket." Example sentence: Hangers for SCBA harnesses to be installed on the rearward SCBA brackets
