Ultra-Remote High Pressure Fire Water Pump With Lighting
I first saw this unit during a night drill on a windy ridge, where the ground crew had only headlamps and grit. The pump started on the first pull, the LED floods cut through the smoke, and — to be honest — that’s when I decided to dig into it properly. Built in No.118 Youyi Street, Xinhua Dist., Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, China, the kit comes complete: engine, pump, spray gun, inlet pipe, high‑pressure hose, and all the sensible accessories. The engine uses a direct-connection design, which matters more than marketing copy suggests — fewer losses, fewer things to shake themselves loose.
What’s driving demand (and why lighting is non‑negotiable)
Wildland–urban interface fires, longer hose lays, and night operations are the new normal. Agencies want portable, high-pressure pumps that can push water hundreds of meters uphill and still be light enough to move between drop points. Integrated lighting is no longer a “nice-to-have”; it’s scene safety. Many customers say they’ve ditched separate light towers because an onboard LED array is simpler and faster.

| Max head | ≈ 110–130 m |
| Engine options | 4‑stroke gasoline/diesel, ≈ 8–20 hp, electric or recoil start |
| NPSHr | ≈ 3–3.5 m at Qrated |
| Lighting module | IP65 LED floodlight, ≈ 3,000–6,000 lm, tilt-adjust |
| Noise | ≤ 86 dB(A) @ 7 m (≈ 75% load) |
| Runtime | ≈ 2.5–4 h @ 75% load (tank size dependent) |
| Hose kit | High‑pressure layflat 1"–1.5", 100–400 m options |
- Use cases: wildland booster lines, long-distance relay, remote villages, mining benches, tunnel works, port yards.
- Advantages: quick-deploy frame, corrosion‑resistant hardware, integrated lighting, low vibration, intuitive controls.
How it’s built and tested (short version)
Materials: hard‑anodized aluminum pump body, stainless 316 fasteners, bronze wear rings, Viton® seals; powder‑coated steel frame. Methods: CNC‑machined impeller, dynamic balancing, TIG‑welded frame, salt‑spray verification ≈ 240 h. Testing: hydrostatic proof test at 1.5× rated pressure; performance mapping per EN 1028 and GB 6245; engine power checked to ISO 15550. Typical service life: 8–12 years with annual maintenance.
Field test notes
- Factory bench (20°C): 1.2 MPa at 170 L/min, fuel 0.9–1.2 L/h, start time
- Cold start trial: −10°C with ether‑free protocol, pass x3 cycles.
- LED module: ≈ 5,000 lm; 8 h continuous on auxiliary battery pack.

Brief case notes
Mining bench, Inner Mongolia: two units in relay cut setup time by ≈ 35% and held 1.0 MPa at 280 m elevation gain. Winery estate, WUI line defense (Australia): one Ultra-Remote High Pressure Fire Water Pump With Lighting ran 3.2 h on a single tank feeding 3 nozzles; crews praised the onboard lighting for safe pack-up at 2 a.m. “Surprisingly quiet,” one operator said.
If you’re speccing for municipal boosters, forestry attack, or remote industrial sites, this is a solid, field-proven package. Demo and shipping from the origin listed above; global documentation available on request.
