Product Overview
Cattle station managers and rural contractors run the Aussie Fire Captain Plus (QP205SL/L70E) electric start diesel pump for high-pressure pasture irrigation, header fire escorting, and long-range livestock watering lines. The diesel power unit delivers steady torque to hold high discharge pressure across continuous daily pumping cycles. A heavy wrap-around frame guards the pump during transit over rough outback cattle tracks.
Emergency water delivery achieves a maximum delivery rate of 500 L/min and develops a maximum elevation head of 60 m. Internal hydraulic architecture features a marine grade aluminium casing with big belly priming geometry, a single piece closed aluminium impeller, and a carbon ceramic mechanical seal with nitrile elastomers. Total equipment mass is 70 kg in standard operating trim.
Mechanical drive is provided by a Yanmar L70 7HP electric start diesel engine (battery supplied separately) producing 7 HP. Plumbing connections incorporate 2" BSP male inlet & 3-way outlet (2 x 1", 1 x 1.5") with metal caps & chains, and the self-priming wet end achieves 7.6 m vertical suction lift. Rapid self-priming internal dynamics pick up fluid swiftly without requiring manual foot valves on suction lines.
Structural fully welded steel roll frame with battery mounting tray encloses the equipment while isolating mechanical vibration and simplifying site movement. The structural mount provides balance during transport across field vehicles, trailers, and utility trays. Complete spare parts support and factory technical documentation are accessible through Aussie Pumps distribution networks across Australia.
