Hydra-Tech will be closed for Good Friday on April 2nd.
Why is 26,000 a special number ?
 When Ken Reim first started Hydra-Tech Pumps, one of the many things he had to figure out was the serialization system for the pumps and hydraulic power units he would use for the new company. He decided on a simple 5 digit alpha-numeric system that would handle 1000 numbers per letter. 44 years, and almost 26,000 pumps and power units later, we are working out way through Z and preparing to double up the letters once we’re through.
 
A little information on our serialization system. In the case of a pump, the serial number is a number, followed by a letter, followed by three more numbers. The first number is the discharge size of the pump (2”, 3”, 4”, 6”, and 8”) so a 2” pump would be 2A001. Pumps with a discharge larger than 10” we just use the 1, 2 or 3 (in the case of an S30M 30” axial pump). For hydraulic power units we lead with the letter followed by four numbers so an example would be A0001.
 
On most of our smaller pumps (2”, 3” and some 4”), the serial number is hand stamped into the side of the top cover.
For pumps that are large enough to allow us to use it, and for all hydraulic power units, we mount a serialization plate bearing the model number, serial number, KW (kilowatts) and weight. Most of our Hydra-Tech’s pumps are CE approved.
 As for the location of the serialization tag on HPUs, it varies somewhat depending on the model.
 
  • Small roll cage frame / wheelbarrow style HPUs of less than 25 horsepower (NOT extended run models) have the plate mounted to the back of the hydraulic reservoir.

  • Small roll cage frame / wheelbarrow style HPUs of less than 25 horsepower extended run units have the plate mounted to the top of the fuel cell below the engine.

  • Large open skid / trailer style HPUs of 25 horsepower and up have the plate mounted to the lifting bale upright on the operator side (the side of the unit with the control panel).

  • Large sound attenuated skid / trailer style HPUs of 25 horsepower and up – the location varies due to differences in the structure, but the plate is always mounted inside the cabinet, on the operator side (the side of the unit with the control panel).

24 Horsepower HPU Showing Serialization Tag between the engine mounts on the top of the fuel cell.
Pump of the Month - S6200

Hydra-Tech’s S6200, 8” hydraulic submersible solids handling pump features a high performance closed vane channel impeller which offers superior efficiency resulting in both high volume and high head capabilities. This 8” pump is great for use on jobs where higher heads or long discharge runs are encountered such as waste lagoons, sewer-by-pass, barge transfer, municipal lift stations and tank pumping. Depending on the application, this pump can be bolted directly into a pipeline, used as a booster pump or as a dewatering pump. Combined with our HT200 power unit, the S6200 is capable of flows up to 3500 GPM and heads to 220 feet. The safe and variable speed hydraulic drive can be used where electric power is hazardous or impractical. For more information please contact Hydra-Tech at phone number 570-645-3779, our website www.hydra-tech.com or email htpump@hydra-tech.com.
