Trailer Pump
Stand alone trailer mounted pump

These units consist of an independently powered pump, mounted on a trailer and are used to pump water from dams or creeks to a second location.

The trailer can be towed behind a CFS Command or logistics vehicle, and placed nearby a water source, such as a dam or creek, allowing crews to access water easily, without having to set up their own pump for draughting each time they require water.
