A Roper Pumps Innovation

The Short Back Plate™
3600 Gear Pump

The transportation industry's favorite pump... just smaller, lighter, and safer.

EASIER & SAFER TO MAINTAIN

SMALLER & LIGHTER

PTO OR HYDRAULIC

Don't settle for the status quo.

The Short Back Plate™ solves multiple problems:

  • We engineered a Short Back Plate™ option for the 3600 gear pump so it takes up less space.

  • A lighter pump means you can carry more freight.

  • The enclosed lip seal doesn’t need to be adjusted like traditional packing, making your job easier and more safe.

In the tanker truck industry, SIZE AVAILABILITY SAFETY matters.

When hauling freight, every pound counts.

The Short Back Plate™ makes your pump up to 15 lbs. lighter. On rigs with multiple pumps, you gain significant poundage for additional freight.
