Product Overview
Broadacre crop irrigators and livestock transport depots operate the Aussie Fire Chief (QP305SL/L70E) electric start diesel pump with high volume ports for high volume livestock trough filling and mobile cattle crate washdowns. Enlarged suction ports draw substantial water volume while the diesel engine provides economical continuous operation. The big belly casing primes quickly from muddy dams without requiring check valves on suction hoses.
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 3" BSP male inlet & 3" BSP male outlet, 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.
