Description
Portable Floating Pump
The Fyr Flote is a lightweight, portable centrifugal fire fighting pump mounted on an unsinkable, high-strength polyethylene float with dual carrying handles and a splash suppression collar. A high-volume model (20FV-C8) and a high-pressure model (20FP-C8) meet most every pump need — in as little as four inches of water. Weighing just 49 pounds, the Fyr Flote stores easily in most truck compartments. It includes an automatic recoil starter, a spark arresting muffler, and an engine overspeed control switch. We would recommend having a decent fuel supply and this pump likes to work.
