Gardner Denver Transport Solutions designs fluid pumps for transmission, loading, unloading, and metering across transport applications where reliability, flow stability, and safety are critical.
From fuel transfer pumps and petrol transfer pumps for tank trucks and trailers to hygienic rotary lobe solutions for sensitive liquids, our portfolio supports fuel, chemical, food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and personal care industries. These pumps are proven in real‑world transport environments and support discharge pressures up to 10 bar for demanding cargo pump duties.
What Is a Liquid Transfer Pump?
A liquid transfer pump is a type of positive displacement fluid pump that moves liquid through a sealed pumping chamber, delivering controlled and repeatable flow.
Because each rotation displaces a known volume, these pumps are ideal for transport applications that require accuracy, predictable performance, and safe handling of fuels, chemicals, and hygienic liquids.
Our pumps are designed for:
- Tank trucks and trailers
- Fixed land‑based installations
- Loading, unloading, and metering operations
They operate reliably across variable duty cycles and challenging operating conditions.
How Does a Liquid Transfer Pump Work?
Liquid transfer pumps work by capturing liquid inside enclosed chambers and moving it from the inlet to the outlet at a controlled rate.
This operating principle allows the pumps to:
- Deliver stable flow rates
- Support short unloading cycles and long duty cycles
- Maintain performance in demanding transport environments
- Minimise downtime where uptime and safety are essential
This makes them well suited as fuel transfer pumps, petrol transfer pumps, and general fluid pumps for transmission systems.
