Container Fitted With 8 Gpm Pump Transfers Fluid Fast
Mike Franks, owner of the Eden Prairie, Minn., company, says the pump is operated with a simple hand crank. It can be reversed for extraction, which is useful for multiple applications including fuel, chemicals and diesel exhaust fluid.
The cap on the pump system fits on all standard containers as well as FLO-FAST’s own containers, which come in 2 sizes - 7 1/2 and 10 1/2-gal.
The rotationally molded containers are 3 to 4 times thicker than traditional containers and are suitable for fuel, lubricants, oils, chemicals, anti-freeze, bio-diesel, etc. They have built-in air valves to release pressure and vent the container, and come in various colors for fuels and HAZMAT liquids.
FLO-FAST also offers carts to wheel the containers and pumps to boat ramps, across farm yards and off-road areas.
Though the containers are too small to fuel large tractors, they’re ideal for filling diesel exhaust fluid, small tractors and chemical tanks, Franks notes.
“If people need more capacity they can buy multiple cans. The pump transfers from can to can very quickly,” he says, adding that customers appreciate the portability of the system.
FLO-FAST offers a variety of sizes and packages including basic 5-gpm pumps and pumps that can be attached to 55-gal. barrels and/or containers.
Prices run from $209 for a barrel pump to $269 for a pump and 10 1/2-gal. container to $569 for a complete system with a cart.
FLO-FAST products are available in some farm supply chain stores and through about 70 dealers.
Franks welcomes inquiries from interested dealers for all applications, from ag to marine to commercial.
