Shibaura FT510‑A Air‑Cooled Fire Pump
Shibaura FT510-A Air-Cooled Fire Pump
Shibaura’s most powerful air-cooled fire pump features a compact design and strong performance without sensitivity to water quality. Built for reliability, fast priming, and simple operation.
1. AUTOMATIC CHOKE SYSTEM FOR CARBURETOR
Sensors adjust the choke valve automatically based on air and engine temperature. A single switch starts the engine instantly, enabling full throttle without warm-up. Diaphragm design prevents malfunction from water or dust exposure.
2. ADVANCED FUEL FEEDING SYSTEM
Shibaura’s separate fuel feeding system ensures optimal gasoline/oil mixing. Oil level is monitored in real time via an onboard sensor and displayed on the OK monitor.
3. SHIBAURA’S UNIQUE WATER SHUT-OFF VALVE
A 5-valve assembly simplifies discharge control and enables one-touch vacuum pump draining during operation. Integrated into a single housing for easy maintenance.
4. AIR-COOLED ENGINE FIRE PUMP
Shibaura offers the widest range of air-cooled fire pumps, allowing you to select the ideal model based on terrain, crew needs, or build constraints.
5. VACUUM PUMP
Designed for rapid suction and long service life. The 4-vane rotary system provides fast water draw and simple maintenance access.
6. QUICK VALVE
The quick lever allows one-handed, 45° stroke valve operation—ideal for urgent water discharge control.

7. OILLESS VACUUM PUMP
The oilless vacuum pump uses high-performance carbon fiber blades that eliminate the risk of oily discharge—environmentally safe and easy to maintain.
8. AUTO COOLANT CIRCULATION SYSTEM (NICE VALVE)
In water-scarce wildfire zones, this system recirculates coolant around the pump without discharge. Prevents slippery or muddy ground conditions during fire suppression.
