What type of fluid is used in the transmission of the Pumper units?

ATF

Transynd Fluid

Transynd Fluid is specifically designed for use in heavy-duty applications, including those found in fire service equipment such as pumper units. This fluid is a synthetic transmission fluid that offers enhanced performance in a range of temperatures, providing better lubrication and heat resistance compared to regular automotive transmission fluids. Its formulation allows for longer fluid life and more efficient operation of the transmission system, which is critical in emergency response situations where reliability and performance are paramount.

In a pumper unit, the transmission plays a vital role in ensuring that the vehicle can operate effectively under various conditions, including moving quickly to emergencies and controlling heavy water supplies. Using Transynd Fluid ensures that the transmission can handle the stresses of frequent stops and starts, heavy loads, and varying driving conditions often encountered by fire apparatus.
