TurboDraft Opens Up New Sources Of Water Rural water supply is frequently a challenge. When water is available, it seems to be just out of reach, 50 feet off the paved road or down a boat ramp not made for a 35-foot, 20-ton apparatus. Portable pumps will work in those cases, but it takes alot of effort to set them up and typically requires someone to stand by to keep them running. That’s where a TurboDraft makes sense. |

Exploring an alternative to drafting Historically, the only alternative to pumpers was to use one or more portable pumps, which firefighters had to carry to the source, set up to draft and pump through discharge lines to pumpers or fill tankers. |
