Hydraulic Pump Offers

Up To 21,300 PSI Pressure —New Literature Available

Goltens of Brooklyn, N.Y., is of- fering literature on their hydraulic

G-Pump. The four-page brochure offers technical data, applications advice and accessories for this unique pump.

The G-Pump is a portable hy- draulic pump. Bill Duffy, Goltens' marketing and sales manager, states: "This portable pump offers more power than any equivalent portable on the market. It will sup- ply and maintain an impressive 21,300 psi (1,500 kg/cm2) of pres- sure. The G-Pump, even at 21,000 psi of pressure, is extremely accu- rate, reliable and versatile."

Although it is air operated it can be used manually with the hand pump incorporated in each unit.

Special models are available for off- shore drill rigs and other extreme environment conditions. "But most impressive is the price," says Mr. Duffy. "This unique, high quality, reliable equip- ment is surprisingly inexpensive."
