Black Panther 4 Portable Pump

The Vallfirest Black Panther 4 (BP4) is a lightweight, powerful portable pump for rapid wildland response. This fire pump is designed for rapid intervention in wildland fires that combines maximum power, small size and lightness. Thanks to an efficient 4-stage centrifugal pump and the new Thor 130 Evo motor from the Italian brand POLINI, it allows working with high flow and pressure at long distances and elevations, delivering high pressure while maintaining compact dimensions. It has a quick coupling system for the 4-stage pump that allows it to be replaced in the shortest possible time if a breakdown occurs.
