The Onga BM55H Aluminium Twin Stage Firefighting Pump is a high-pressure engine-driven pump designed for firefighting, irrigation, water transfer, and spray applications where higher head performance is required. Its twin stage design makes it ideal for situations that demand strong pressure over longer distances or elevated terrains.
Constructed with a lightweight yet durable aluminium pump casing, the BM55H offers excellent corrosion resistance while maintaining portability for field operations. The twin impeller system improves pressure performance, while high-quality internal components including glass-filled impellers, nitrile seals, ceramic and carbon seal faces, and stainless steel spring elements ensure long-lasting reliability.
Powered by a Honda GX160 petrol engine, this pump delivers dependable performance in remote and off-grid environments. Based on performance data, the pump achieves a maximum flow of approx 420 L/Min at low head conditions and delivers a maximum head of approx 90 m, making it well suited for high-pressure firefighting and water delivery applications.
The BM55H is designed for pumping clean, non-aggressive water without solids or fibres. It operates effectively across a wide range of environmental conditions, with performance depending on system setup and operating head. Engine-driven operation ensures flexibility and reliability where electrical power is not available.
