DESCRIPTION
The MEGA Mobile Pump (MMP4) is a towable water
lifting station. The MMP4 may be towed by a vehicle
capable of at least a 6,000 pound (2,725 kg) towing
capacity, 1,000 pound (450 kg) tongue weight, and
equipped with the appropriate weight rated Class IV
trailer hitch with a 2 5/16 inch ball. The MMP4 can be
transported to a water holding pond and be set up
by one individual.
The MMP4 is a self-contained pumping station fitted
with a hydraulically driven 12 inch axial water pump
that has the potential to lift water 25 feet (7.6 meters)
from pump level to fill water distribution equipment
(maximum height: 17 feet or 5.2 meters above
ground level).
MMP4s are equipped with: hydraulically lifted inlet
and discharge booms with safety retaining chains
and travel locking devices, DOT rated lighting, 16
inch load range 'E' on-highway trailer tires, a fold
away hitch with safety chains, a vacuum break with
an anti-siphon discharge sock on the discharge
boom, 23 gallon (87 liter) hydraulic oil tank filled with
Chevron Clarity AW 46 hydraulic oil, a gear type
hydraulic pump driven by a Caterpillar C2.2T series
diesel engine, and a 50 gallon (190 liter) capacity
diesel fuel tank equipped with shut off valves.
The MMP4 needs a minimum of 2.5 feet (0.76 meters)
of water above the inlet of the water pump for proper
operation.

1. Inspect MMP4 exterior paint for wear and
corrosion.
2. Inspect piping for damage and leaks.
3. Inspect frame, landing gear and suspension for
