Pumps: Buloke Shire Goes Aussie
Model: Aussie QP310SX
When A J Stock of Adelaide South Australia were looking for four super reliable water tanker pumps for Buloke Shire Council, they chose Aussie 3” gushers powered by Yanmar diesel.
A J Stock is a major manufacturer of water carts and tankers, with an excellent reputation for quality and design.
“We knew we needed a 3” pump that would be able to provide fast fill capability and consistent pressure when required” said A J Stocks’ Managing Director, Mark James.
“We also needed to be able to draw water from dams and creeks, preferably controlled from within the cab of the vehicle” he said.
The Australian Pump heavy duty QP310SL high pressure 3” pump was finally selected, powered by a big Yanmar 10 HP electric start diesel engine fitted with solenoid controller. The solenoid controller allows the remote operation of the pump from the cab of a road tanker.
The big Aussie 3” pump offers flows of up to 1300 litres per minute, with heads to 50 metres. It primes fast, first time, every time, and has a unique capability of being able to draught water through a vertical lift of up to 8.4 metres!
“The big Aussie’s got loads of pressure, and can easily run a spray bar and 3 rear fan sprays” said James.
The water tanks are built from robust fibreglass designed for real longevity. They have an ability to handle saline bore water, and even some chemicals. The tanks are lighter in weight than steel tanks, and A J Stock claim ensure a greater payload, and fewer trips to get the job done!
“South Australia and western Victoria are dry, and Councils have to cart water regularly for dust suppression and water supply” said Mark James.
“Buloke Shire’s 4 big 15,000 litre water tanks are ideal for those applications, especially when matched to the big Aussie Pump” he said.
Aussie Pumps were chosen for the job because of their reliability and performance characteristics. An added bonus is the unique 5 year warranty that guarantees the pump end to be free of manufacturing faults or defects for a period of 5 years from supply to the end user.
A J Stock claim the Aussie Pump enhances their already great South Australian product, a fact endorsed by the large number of South Australian and Victorian councils that standardise on A J Stock tankers.
