2.1 OVERVIEW
Hale Products currently offers the Silencer Series Booster Pumps in two
models:
❑ APS – Single-Stage, Centrifugal Attack Pump (250-500 GPM/1,000-
2,000 LPM), with three primary drive options: truck transmission PTO,
hydraulic drive or direct engine mount.
❑ MBP – Single-Stage, Centrifugal, “High Volume” Attack Pump (500-
1,000 GPM/2,000-4,000 LPM), also with three primary drive options:
truck transmission PTO, hydraulic drive or direct engine mount.
Unless otherwise indicated, these procedures apply to all models of Hale
Silencer Series Booster Pumps.
The Hale line of booster pumps are the favorites of fire fighters throughout
the world. Booster pumps can be used as initial attack pumps or as auxil-
iary pumps in conjunction with the apparatus main pump. They offer the
versatility, dependability, reliability, ease of operation and reduced mainte-
nance that is so necessary to effective fire fighting.
Hale booster pumps are compact in size and lightweight for easy mounting.
The apparatus builder must supply the transmission PTO (power takeoff)
and connecting shaft.
Hale offers two models of the silencer series booster pumps. The antici-
pated use and position on the apparatus determines the model selected as
well as the drive unit. Flow capacities are shown in Table 2-1: “Booster
Pump Capacity.”
