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.

More adaptable.
More available.
Because the Short Back Plate™ can be easily adapted for PTO or Hydraulic drives, your fleet can keep more in stock and serve all trucks.

Safer to operate. Easier to maintain.
You’ll save your back because it’s lighter. You’ll also save your fingers because the lip seal doesn’t have to be adjusted like traditional packing.
