The WATERAX Pump Lineup

We carry and support every pump in the WATERAX family. Each model is built for a different operational demand — from lightweight portability to high-volume output for apparatus and engine integration.

High-Pressure Portable Pumps

  • BB-4®

    The BB-4® is a high-pressure centrifugal pump that has been used by forestry agencies to combat wildfires for over 40 years. It has been the weapon of choice in many wildland operations and is especially suited for type 6 brush trucks.

  • STRIKER™

    STRIKER™ high-pressure pumps pair a Honda or a Briggs & Stratton Vanguard 4-stroke engine with either 2 or 3 stage WATERAX pump end. Applications include skid units, cabin protection and snowmaking. They share common parts with the MARK-3® and BB-4® pumps and are renowned for the same durability and reliability.

Mid-Range Pumps

  • B2X™ Diesel

    The B2X-D902V is powered by a Kubota diesel engine with a vertical-drive unit and leg mounts ready for vehicle mounting.

  • B2X® Series

    A versatile mid-range pump built for brush trucks, skid units, and trailer-mounted systems. Compatible with WATERAX's 2-in-1 quick-release clamp system for field-swappable pump ends — high-pressure or mid-range on the same platform.

Lightweight & Portable Pumps

  • Mini-Striker®

    The lightest pump in the WATERAX lineup. Designed for rapid deployment where every pound matters — initial attack, remote access, and helicopter operations.

  • Striker®

    A step up in flow and pressure from the Mini-Striker with the same portable form factor. Built for crews that need more output without the weight of a full Mark-3.

  • Versax®

    A multipurpose portable pump that handles both pressure and volume applications. One pump, multiple roles — wildfire suppression, water transfer, and structure protection.

Diesel Pumps

For extended operations where fuel efficiency and run time matter. WATERAX diesel models deliver sustained high-volume output for apparatus, structure protection deployments, and prolonged suppression operations where gasoline resupply isn't practical.

WATERAX Engineering

  • Detachable Multi-Stage Pump Ends

    Anodized aluminum impellers and pump body eliminate galvanic corrosion. Blister-resistant mechanical rotary seal and maintenance-free sealed bearings extend service life in the field.

  • Low-Maintenance Drive Assembly

    Originally designed for the BB-4 and proven for over 40 years under the most demanding conditions. Dependable, reliable, and built to last across the full WATERAX platform.

  • 2-in-1 Quick Release System

    Swap between high-pressure and mid-range pump ends in the field without tools. One platform, two performance profiles — maximum flexibility at the lowest possible cost.

Parts & Components

We stock genuine WATERAX replacement parts for every pump model. Pump ends, seals, impellers, shafts, drive assemblies, control panels, fuel systems, and tool kits — ready to ship.

WATERAX in Custom Apparatus

We don't just sell WATERAX pumps — we build them into custom wildfire apparatus. Every trailer, skid unit, and slip-in system we fabricate is engineered around WATERAX pump platforms, plumbed and tested in-house before it leaves our facility. From pump selection to final integration, we handle it all.

Applications

  • Fire Agencies & Crews

    Provincial, municipal, and First Nations fire crews rely on WATERAX for portable pumping in wildland and WUI environments. Rugged, field-serviceable, and built for the conditions where fire happens.

  • Apparatus & Engine Builders

    WATERAX centrifugal pump models for type 4, 5, 6, and 7 wildland engines, plus control panels, manifolds, and components for brush trucks, skid units, trailers, and sprinkler systems.

  • Commercial & Industrial

    Beyond wildfire — WATERAX pumps handle irrigation, construction drainage, marina water management, golf course maintenance, and industrial water transfer where portable pumping is required.

  • Property Owners & Ranchers

    Paired with sprinkler systems and cabin sprinkler packages, WATERAX pumps create a water barrier around your property. Also used for garden watering, drainage, pond maintenance, and general water transfer.
