Pumps & Fluid Transfer

Move fuels, lubricants, water and compatible workshop fluids with equipment matched to the product being transferred, the container, flow requirement and site conditions. This collection brings together fluid-transfer equipment for farm, workshop and service applications, with selection focused on compatibility and safe handling.

Choose the pump for the fluid and application

Confirm fluid type, viscosity, chemical compatibility, temperature, required flow, lift or head, power source, hose size and fitting standard. Do not assume a pump suitable for water is suitable for fuel, oil, agricultural chemicals or corrosive liquids. Follow the equipment instructions and relevant handling requirements.

Shop by farm transfer task

For 20L, 60L, 205L and similar container applications, see Drum Pumps. Browse Farm Fuel & Oil Transfer for diesel, oil and tank-transfer equipment, or Farm Sprayers & Spray Equipment for compatible application equipment. For water movement, irrigation and farm supply applications, visit Irrigation Systems & Pumps.

Build a safe compatible system

Use rated hoses and fittings, contain spills, keep ignition sources away from flammable liquids and never exceed a pump’s intended duty. Check hoses, seals, filters and connections before operation. For chemical products, use the relevant safety data and wear the required protective equipment. Where pipe, hose and connection selection is required, use compatible components from Fluid Connectors, Fittings & Hose.

Pumps & Fluid Transfer FAQs

How do I select a drum pump?

Match the pump tube length, bung size, material compatibility, viscosity range and flow requirement to the drum and fluid. Check whether a manual, electric, air-operated or battery-powered design suits the site.

Can one pump be used for multiple liquids?

Only where the manufacturer confirms compatibility and contamination can be controlled. Dedicated pumps are often the safer choice for fuels, oils, chemicals and potable-water applications.

Why is fluid flow lower than expected?

Check hose diameter and length, suction restrictions, air leaks, filter condition, fluid viscosity, lift height and the pump’s rated duty. A restriction on either side of the pump can reduce flow.
