The CET 18 HP Portable High Pressure Pump - Electric Start is a powerful firefighting pump engineered for applications requiring exceptional pressure performance and dependable operation in the field. Powered by a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard V-Twin engine, this pump delivers pressures up to 300 PSI, making it ideal for wildland firefighting, long hose lays, relay pumping, remote water supply, structure protection, and other high-pressure firefighting operations. The engine and pump are mounted within a rugged steel protective frame featuring shock-absorbing mounts and folding handles for enhanced durability and portability in demanding environments. The pump is also available in skid-mounted configurations for specialized applications.

Built around a transmission-driven C.E.T. single-stage centrifugal pump, this unit features a high-strength aluminum alloy pump body, bronze impeller, stainless steel pump shaft, and mechanical shaft seal for long-lasting reliability. The belt-driven transmission maximizes efficiency while the exhaust priming system provides dependable priming capability with lifts up to 20 feet. Complete with a 16-amp alternator, 12-volt battery, and pressure gauge, this pump is designed to deliver reliable high-pressure performance wherever water must be moved over long distances or difficult terrain.
