Fire Pump
Truck-mounted centrifugal fire pumps driven by the PTO — 40 and 50 litres per second at 10 bar, bare or complete with the pipework.
Fire Pumps Run by the Truck’s Own Engine
A fire pump on a truck takes its drive from the gearbox through a power take-off, so the truck’s own engine runs the pump and there is no second motor on the chassis to fuel, start and service. The pump carries its own gearbox, which steps the PTO speed up to the speed the impeller needs.
Ours are rated by the flow they deliver at 10 bar — the working pressure fire monitors and hose lines are built around. They will also draw water from well below the truck, so the pump can take from a canal, a pond or an open tank and not only from the body tank.
Fire Pumps
Rated by the flow delivered at 10 bar. Choose the one that matches the monitor or the hose lines the truck has to run.
Bare Pump, or Complete with the Pipework
Both pumps are supplied either on their own, for a body builder to plumb into pipework of their own making, or as a set with the pipe assembly already fitted — suction inlets on both sides, the delivery outlets and the valves that go with them. Say which you want when you ask and we will quote that way.
The pump on its own
The pump and its gearbox with the suction and delivery flanges. Everything downstream of them is the body builder’s.
With the pipework fitted
The same pump with the manifold on it — inlets each side, delivery outlets and valves, ready to mount.

Fire Nozzles
What goes on the end of a hose line. Like a monitor, a nozzle makes no pressure of its own — it passes on what the pump sends it.
Flow and working pressure are published because they are what a monitor or a hose line has to be matched to. The rest — the inlet and delivery connections, the gear ratio and the speed the pump wants from the PTO — is confirmed per order, once we know the truck and the PTO it will run on.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which one do I need, 40 or 50 L/s?
Work back from what the water has to do once it leaves the truck. A monitor rated at 40 L/s wants a pump that can deliver 40 L/s at its working pressure, and several hose lines add up the same way. Tell us the monitor and how many lines the truck will run, and we will say which pump covers it.
Does it come with the pipework?
Either way. The pump can be supplied bare, for a body builder to plumb in, or complete with the pipe assembly — suction inlets both sides, delivery outlets and valves. Tell us which when you ask.
Can it draw from a canal or a pond?
Yes. It will lift water from as much as 7 metres below the pump, so the truck does not have to stand level with the water. Flow falls as the lift grows, as it does on any pump, so tell us how deep the draw is if it matters.
What do you need from me to quote one?
The truck and its gearbox, the PTO you have or plan to fit, the flow you need, and whether you want the pump bare or with the pipework.
