Girard Equipment plans to introduce a new stainless steel hydraulic pump for extreme environments during National Tank Truck Carriers’ 2024 Tank Truck Week, which starts Sept. 29 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
The new pump, Model GZ 50000, integrates seamlessly with Girard’s hydraulically actuated valves for DOT 407 tank trailers and withstands the most demanding conditions, ensuring “maximum reliability,” Girard reported.
“Built to endure extreme environments, this advanced pump design has undergone extensive testing,” the company stated in a product release. “It has been exposed to aggressive cleaning agents like sodium hypochlorite, high-temperature wash water exceeding 200 degrees Fahrenheit, and sub-zero conditions.
“After more than 1,000 successful cycle tests, the results showed minimal to no wear, solidifying its reputation for unparalleled durability.”
The pump’s key features include:
- Large sight gauge: Easily monitor fluid levels and color at a glance.
- Sealed pump body: This body is equipped with sealing tabs and a fill cap that clearly indicates when fluids need replacement, ensuring optimal performance.
- 100% stainless steel construction: This material provides superior strength and resistance to harsh chemicals, perfect for the tough demands of our industry.
- Designed for easy retrofitting: The pump fits industry-standard mounts and handles hydraulic fluids and other agents used across various applications.
“The Girard stainless steel hydraulic pump is ideal for operators seeking high performance, ease of maintenance, and reliable safety,” the company said.
