The Bianco MH40T-2 is a high-capacity engine-driven pump designed to support firefighting operations while also handling contaminated water containing solids. Its robust construction and high flow capability make it suitable for emergency response, flood control, and demanding field conditions.
Delivering a maximum flow rate of 2000 L/Min and a maximum head of 28 metres, the pump provides strong water delivery for firefighting support where high volume transfer is required over moderate pressure.
Powered by a Honda GX270 petrol engine (8.0 hp net), the unit offers reliable performance with recoil start functionality and a noise-reducing muffler, ensuring consistent operation in emergency and remote environments.
Built with heavy-duty cast iron components, the pump features a wear-resistant open type impeller designed for handling debris and solids up to 28 mm in diameter. This allows it to operate effectively in flood water, slurry, and effluent conditions without clogging.
A quick-release system enables rapid access to the impeller for cleaning and maintenance, while the self-priming design allows easy setup and operation. The sturdy rollover frame provides protection and portability during transport and use.
With 4" suction and discharge ports and a 5.3-litre fuel tank, the MH40T-2 is designed for high-volume applications including firefighting support, dewatering, slurry pumping, and water transfer in industrial and agricultural environments :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}.
