Upgrading Puck Booster Pumps
As we strive to stay ahead of our customer’s needs, Puck is focused on innovation - including improving upon our current products. Similar to the upgrades made to the TTR 20, we also made changes to the next generation of Puck booster pumps. We made changes to the chassis, lighting, controls and overall styling of the next generation of Puck booster pumps. These upgraded features will improve the overall efficiency and safety of your pumping operation.
New MKII Chassis
Feel more confident towing the next generation of Puck booster pumps with a brand new MKII chassis. Starting at the front of the re-designed chassis, you will see a new A-frame tongue structure with increased strength compared to previous models. The A-frame tongue provides easily accessible 12VDC connections providing an external power source for your fuel trailer. There is additional storage space inside the A-frame tongue for quick access to couplers, menders, and other common tools.
This updated chassis may have a stronger A-frame, but the compact design of this trailer is shorter. It is also 1,000 lbs lighter than the previous booster pump. Additionally, the new generation pump trailers have an impressive 17 inches of ground clearance. This allows you to cross uneven terrain to place your booster pump right where it needs to be. The chassis also has a bumper step.
New Operational Capabilities
Operational efficiency for your liquid manure pumping begins with properly placed booster pumps. With the redesigned MKII chassis, we rotated the engine 180 degrees. This placed the pump and gate assembly to the rear of the chassis allowing you to back up to a hose line, fence line, or waterway and keep supply line hoses free of bends and kinks, unlocking more gallons per minute.
Regardless if you are placing the booster pump for the first time in the season, or parking it for a well deserved rest after a busy season, we know starting the engine just to put down outriggers or open/close gates takes precious time and can be hard on the engine. With the next generation of Puck booster pumps, electric over hydraulic controls allow you to do this without starting the engine. Quickly hook and unhook from the tow vehicle using the downriggers with electric controls. You can also pig the line without collecting additional engine hours.
The new generation of booster pump trailers features merged hydraulic systems to eliminate the need for two separate reservoirs. The feeder capability has also been upgraded, as the Warthog package offers hydrostat transmission to run a secondary feeder pump and steel tanks contain low point crossover. The crossover pig shooter allows for pigging operations opposite the pump outlet for improved operator safety.
New Look
In addition to the functional upgrades of the new generation of Puck booster pumps, there’s also an improvement in aesthetics. The MKII pump trailer has a partially enclosed engine with engine compartment side doors for easier maintenance. This new engine enclosure protects key components of your booster pump engine from the environment and brings a much-updated look and feel to the Puck booster pump lineup.
We also understand that your work doesn’t stop when the sun goes down. New LED lighting has been added to specific locations on the next generation of Puck booster pumps. This feature will increase safety while working around the booster pump at night. Bright white lights are found under the engine enclosure door providing light for routine engine maintenance and checks. Under the chassis, LED light strips illuminate around the perimeter of the chassis, reducing tripping hazards while approaching the booster pump.
