We provide vehicle mounted and portable, fire fighting water pumps like the ones used on the fire engines. WATERAX sets the industry standard by developing innovative, portable fire pumps and water-handling equipment. Benchmarks in the wildland firefighting community, our trustworthy MARK-3® and BB-4® centrifugal fire pumps have been top sellers and established leaders for generations. Many pumps sold decades ago are still in operation today, and maintained with genuine spare parts.
Firstly these are designed to withstand demanding applications and rugged environments like veld fires. With a time-tested legacy of reliability, WATERAX and Fire 247 carries on its mission to place powerful, precision engineered pumps into the hands of the men and women who protect our lives and property.
Designed for OEM Fire Apparatus Manufacturers who need a vehicle mounted pump the WATERAX B2X is a versatile Mid-Range portable pump that delivers the best performance of its class with minimal operating costs. Unlike other pumps, the B2X uses a low maintenance drive belt system that provides efficient and dependable performance. The WATERAX B2X-18 pump pairs a reliable high performance Mid-Range 2-stage pump end with Briggs & Stratton 4-stroke 18 hp engine to achieve pressures of up to 190 PSI (13.1 BAR) and flow rates reaching 300 GPM (1136 L/Min). A strong show of both pressure and volume makes it the ideal pump for vehicle mounted applications dedicated to municipal and wildland urban interface operations. Manufactured by WATERAX
The WATERAX B2X-D902 pump pairs a reliable high performance Mid-Range 2-stage centrifugal pump end with a powerful Kubota D902-E4B 3-Cylinder Fuel Injected Liquid Cooled 25 HP Diesel Engine to achieve pressures of up to : 180 PSI (12.4 bar) and flow rates reaching 310 GPM (1173 lpm). A strong show of both pressure and volume makes it the ideal pump for vehicle mounted applications dedicated to municipal and wildland urban interface operations. Manufactured by WATERAX
The WATERAX BB-4 ® Series is a full line of high pressure centrifugal pumps that has been used by forest agencies for over 40 years. It has become the weapon of choice in wildland operations. The BB-4 ® comes in portable & vehicle mounted configurations and is powered by Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 18HP and 23HP or Honda 21HP 4-stroke engines to achieve pressures up to 440 PSI (30.3 BAR) and flow rates reaching 106 US GPM. All BB-4 ® models feature a unique greaseless sealed bearing and a blister-resistant mechanical rotary seal. These latest improvements significantly reduce field maintenance and prolong pump end longevity.
The Wildfire model BB-4® portable fire pump is an ideal unit for high volume remote watering, brush truck and slip-on fire fighting systems in forestry and rural fire environments. High pressure up to 425 PSI (2930 kPa) is provided to operate very long hose lays and overcome pressure losses due to large elevation changes often encountered in rugged wildland fire operations. The higher power makes it ideal for pumping at high altitudes. A unique feature of the BB-4® pump is the quick release pump end that is inter-changeable with our Mark-3® pump. This standardization allows for in-field pump end exchanges eliminating long equipment down time and greatly reduces the inventory of parts at equipment service shops.
The WATERAX BB-4 -21 pump pairs a reliable high performance 4-stage pump end with a powerful Honda 4-stroke 21 HP engine to achieve pressures of up to 440 PSI (30.3 BAR) and flow rates reaching 106 GPM (401 L/Min). Strong enough to operate as a source pump for tandem and parallel pumping, it is also optimal for direct attack firefighting, remote watering, sprinkler systems, and is a popular choice for slip-on units.

This pump unit is designed for use in some of the latest fire control techniques where small lightweight equipment is demanded. This pump is powered by a small and lightweight 4-stroke engine that meets the current emissions standards of the US EPA and CARB regulations. The Mini-Striker® unit works well for other applications such as marine services, irrigation and the application of foam and other fire chemicals.
The WATERAX STRIKER TM Series is a full line of high pressure pumps powered by Honda 4-stroke engines. This series delivers high pressure ranging from 230 PSI (15.9 BAR) up to 345 PSI (23.8 BAR) and flows water up to 105 US GPM (397 L/Min). The STRIKERSare ideal pumps for firefighting, water transfer over long distance and high elevation, sprinkler system supply and snow making.
The Ultra-Striker ® is a very versatile and compact unit. Capable of providing high-pressure nozzle streams for direct attack or volume flow 102 US gals/min (387 L / min) for water delivery at lower pressure. The Ultra-Striker ® is a portable unit, which can be used on a slip-on. This unit provides many interchangeable parts with the Mark 3®, BB-4® and other Striker pumps. It can be used by itself, in tandem or in parallel with other Wildfire pumps. This engine meets the current emissions standards of the US EPA and CARB regulations.
