The C.E.T. SM-PFP-18hpVGD-MR is the ultimate "Mid-Range" powerhouse for fire departments and private land owners requiring a reliable, high-performance skid-mounted fire pump. Engineered to balance high-volume water transfer with the high-pressure demands of structural and brush fire attack, this 18HP Vanguard-powered unit is the gold standard for slip-on firefighting rigs.
High-Performance Firefighting Specs
