TrunkPump Introduces New Skid Steer Hydraulic Dewatering Attachment

Lowell Scott Enterprises Inc., manufacturers of the acclaimed PTO-powered TrunkPumps, announce the addition of a new line of hydraulically-powered dewatering pumps to their wide-ranging application of products.

The new HYD-3D provides the same low-maintenance, one-person operation conveniences as other TrunkPump models, with the added benefit of being powered by skid steer remote hydraulics and other hydraulic power sources.
The HYD-3D provides a new dimension in pumping for construction companies, farmers and municipalities who need;to move water or irrigate. Those looking for an innovative alternative to conventional pumping methods will find the new HYD-3D TrunkPump, with its uncomplicated design and compact package, a must-have equipment staple. The HYD-3D may be purchased manufacturer-direct currently, and will soon be available through a host of domestic and international suppliers.

“Since our first product’s debut, a frequent request has been for a TrunkPump that could run on a skid steer,” said Chris Pappalardo, TrunkPump Co-Founder. “After a substantial R&D investment, we are excited to offer this highly innovative pumping choice that advances our original technology onto a new, ground-breaking platform,” Pappalardo continues. “Our goal is to change the way people move water – take the work out of pumping. Our new HYD-3D model broadens our simple-use technology to ever-expanding markets. It has been well received by industry professionals who immediately envision multiple new ways to generate revenue.”

About TrunkPump
Founders Doug McFarland and Chris Pappalardo originally designed TrunkPump in 2004 to solve golf course water problems. TrunkPump has since evolved to provide water movement uses to universities and municipalities, commercial institutions and industries, as well as farmers and residential home owners throughout North America and abroad. TrunkPump is easy and fast to use. No more frustrations fighting long hoses, needing a two-person crew to transport a pump safely, limited gas tank capacity, or the poor reliability of existing water pump products on the market. TrunkPump’s design eliminates all of these inconveniences. TrunkPump has steadily grown to meet the demands of the marketplace by addressing problems and finding simple, practical solutions.

Netherlands: Holmatro introduces HEP 600 power pack and green hydraulic oil

Holmatro launches the HEP 600 to its existing power pack range.  It is designed to provide power for multiple hydraulic applications on board.

Push button control hydraulics

Holmatro has designed this 24V 3kW hydraulic power-pack as a simple plug & play system, enabling you to power basic sailing functions such as backstay, outhaul, cunningham and vang cylinders. The integrated micro PLC allows you to safely control up to 6 functions, all controlled via your push buttons. This system lets you master your power!

Less crew, more performance

For short handed cruisers, this power pack allows you to handle higher loads with your finger tips. It allows families to sail in comfort with less effort in all conditions.

For regatta sailors it makes applying higher loads more quickly possible when every second counts.

The HEP 600 is designed to serve both targets. It’s easy, compact, safe, and won’t let you down.

Expanding the hydraulics range

“Our mission is to offer our customers reliable and particularly innovative products”. Holmatro strives to outperform others in product development, focussing on the true art of sailing. Our products allow yachtsmen to handle their sails quickly and efficiently. The Hep 600 hydraulic power pack is a good example of how we are meeting this mission.

New  Holmatro sustainable green hydraulic oil

Effective immediately Holmatro Marine Equipment is implementing the use of sustainable “green” oil for all its hydraulic products and applications.

We at Holmatro deeply care about doing everything we can to promote a sustainable society.  In this quest we have found an environmentally sound, high performance hydraulic oil.  This sustainable oil, in accordance with the OECD 301F respirometric test for biodegradability, biodegrades 97.7% within 28 days.  Despite its rapid biodegradation in the environment this oil provides better lubrication and a longer useable lifespan than other hydraulic fluids.

This oil will be available from Holmatro in different viscosities in one and five litre containers and will now be used in all Holmatro Marine Equipment products.
