Wet kits for crude hauling.

Maybe the trailer mounted pumps run different. I use truck mounted pumps.

 

Haha, I think I say that almost every day, Dustin! The man who can admit he doesn't know everything has an infinite capacity to learn and grow. I've had recently in my shop a customer with a failed Chelsea 2-way pto (that also wrecked the transmission, but that's another story), driving a shaft-driven product pump (as you described). Another customer just switched from hauling crude to hauling sand, so he wanted to know about converting his 2-way pto to a true wet kit (for end dump or other type work). And sometime later this month, whenever I get some iron moved out of the way, I have a wet kit to install for a heavy hauler and his new Landoll 455.

 

That is correct. That's how we do it.

 

I just re read this. I thought you had said the pump direction was controlled by switching the pto. You didn't, that is the exact setup I was describing. A one way pto with 2 lines controlled by a hydraulic lever. Only difference is its trailer mounted.

 

No. They are different speed ptos. Unless they have a 2 speed pto on it

 

My PTOs are specked at 25 gpm and 3000psi for hydraulic drive trailers.

 

I have been told that plains trucks have pump direction controlled in side the cab. Our trucks its a valve on the trailer. Forward backwards.
