Black Hawk BH4-18 Pump

The BH4 -18 fire pump is within the vft Black Hawk line of portable fire pumps. It combines a powerful air-cooled Briggs and Stratton Vanguard V twin 18 HP engine with electronic cut-off, with the Speed Increaser vft and the VFT_4SP 4-stage centrifugal pump, offering excellent working capacity at high pressures and high flow rates. This combination can make long hose runs both in series and in parallel without losing performance.
It has a quick coupling system for the VFT_4SP pump that allows it to be replaced in the shortest possible time if a breakdown occurs. This pump is also used in the BP4, BH4-13 and BH4-23 fire pumps, which allows a better management of the spare parts stock.
