Some facts about the Super Pumper

The tractor for the Super Pumper was a commercial Mack assigned model # F715FSTP. The engine used to power the apparatus was a 255 Horsepower (HP) Mack diesel engine with an Allison CLT 4460 semi-automatic transmission. Mounted on the rear of the trailer was a six stage DeLaval pump which was designed to provide either pressure or volume. To supply water to the pump, there were four (4) unchecked inlets at the rear of the Super Pumper. Two of these inlets are 4 1/2" while the other two are 12" with 4 1/2" inlets set into their caps. In addition, there are two 4 1/2" checked inlets on each side of the apparatus at the rear. Directly coupled to the pump is a 18-cylinder, two-cycle Napier-Deltic engine. This engine is equipped with an exhaust silencer to reduce the overall noise from the engine within a six-foot (6') distance of the rig.

Some facts about the Tender

The primary tender was a flat hose bed trailer rather than indented hose reels as called for in the original design. A manifold system utilizing gauged discharge outlets was also included in the original design. The Tender utilized the same basic Mack cab over tractor as the Super Pumper with one difference - modifications had been made to fit an operating platform designed to support the high pressure monitor. At the time of delivery, the Tender had a large McEntyre monitor similar to those seen on fire boats. This was later with a large Stang "Intelligiant" monitor which had an eight-inch (8") barrel operated by hand wheels. This behemoth utilized interchangeable tips of 3", 3 1/2", 4", 5", and 2000 Gallon Per Minute (GPM) fog tip. The monitor was supplied by four (4) 4 1/2" checked inlets with two (2) located on each side of the tractor. The Tender was also equipped with hydraulically operated out-riggers which were located on each side of the tractor. Their purpose was to stabilize the rig as well as to counteract the nozzle reaction of back pressure.
