Fire Pump Features
Pump technologies and operational systems designed for reliable firefighting performance.
Long-Distance Water Delivery
Relay-compatible pumping for sustained water transfer from remote sources.
Shibaura portable fire pumps support long-distance water delivery from remote water sources through sustained flow, quick vacuum priming, and relay-compatible deployment. Electric fuel injection supports easy starting and appropriate fuel consumption, while the centrifugal pump and impeller design are built for stable performance and large-discharge water transfer.
-
Remote Water Source Transfer
Supports extended water delivery from ponds, tanks, and other remote sources where direct attack lines would otherwise be limited by distance.
-
Dependable Flow Over Distance
Centrifugal pump and impeller design help maintain stable, high-volume flow across long hose deployments and elevation changes.
-
Relay-Compatible Deployment
Quick vacuum priming and easy engine starting support coordinated relay pumping layouts for sustained long-distance water movement.
Auto Relay System
Automatic relay pumping for long-distance water transfer.
The Shibaura Auto Relay system enables portable fire pumps to operate automatically in relay pumping operations. When water from an upstream pump reaches the relay pump, the system detects the incoming pressure and begins boosting the water supply to the next stage.
This allows long hose lines to be deployed efficiently without requiring operators at every relay pump, making the system ideal for wildfire response, remote water supply, and extended firefighting operations.
-
Automatic Relay Operation
The system automatically detects incoming water pressure from an upstream pump and begins boosting water to the next stage in the relay line.
-
Long-Distance Water Supply
Relay pumping allows water to be transported over extended distances, making it ideal for wildfire response, remote water sources, and large-scale firefighting operations.
-
Reduced Operator Requirements
Automatic relay operation allows pumps to operate without an operator at every relay point, simplifying deployment and improving efficiency in the field.
Core Pump Features
Engine components and pump systems designed for dependable firefighting performance.
2-Stroke Gasoline Engine
Shibaura original small, lightweight, high-power engine purpose-built for fire pumps. The high-speed 2-stroke design delivers strong performance and long service life in demanding duty cycles.
Centrifugal Pump
Shibaura original engine and single-stage centrifugal pump are integrated into one compact unit, improving efficiency and delivering high-volume, long-distance discharge performance.
Quick Discharge Valve
Lever-type discharge valve enables quick, accurate discharge operation and swivels 180 degrees to improve firefighting capability. A short-stroke 45-degree lever makes valve operation faster and easier.
Vacuum Pump
Shibaura original lightweight, compact vacuum pump removes air in the suction line quickly, enabling rapid priming and fast discharge. High efficiency and low wear with short suction procedures and straightforward maintenance. High-performance carbon fiber blades eliminate oily discharge for cleaner operation.
Alert Monitoring System
Warning lamps indicate issues such as low oil, and the engine automatically shuts down to protect itself in emergencies.
Impeller
Originally designed Shibaura impeller supports high-volume, long-distance discharge. Special surface treatment helps prevent corrosion.
Auto Coolant Circulation (Nice Valve)
Closed-loop coolant circulation reduces water waste in low-supply conditions, while preventing slippery, wet, muddy, or icy surfaces during operations.
Advanced Fuel Feeding System
Automotive-style separate fuel feeding delivers an optimal gasoline/oil mix in any conditions. An oil-level sensor displays status on the OK monitor, making quick checks easy.
Automatic Choke System
Air and engine temperature sensors adjust the choke automatically for easy starts, fast warm-up, and immediate full-throttle operation. A high-output coil rapidly heats the bimetal element, and the downward diaphragm rod helps prevent dust or wastewater ingress.
