LD1800

Light Weight Portable

Diesel Pump

The Angus LD1800 pump is a heavy

duty portable fire or industrial pump
that combines the benefits of high
pressure fire fighting performance with
the ability to move large volumes of
water continuously.

The LD1800 design has been specifically Applications

developed over many years to meet the Municipal Fire Brigades
needs of the emergency services and 1,800 l/min at 7 bar provides a fire
incorporates features to ensure easy service with up to six 250 l/min hand 740mm
and reliable operation in fire and rescue lines with pressure to spare
situations.
