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.

-
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.
