Transfer Pumps for Marine, Industrial & Construction
Transfer Pumps Built for Real Work
When your operation depends on moving water, chemicals, or fluids, you need transfer pumps that show up ready to work. Pacer Pumps has been building thermoplastic transfer pumps in Lancaster, PA since 1974. Every pump is molded and assembled in the USA at our 60,000 square foot facility by a dedicated team of 16 employees.
Founder Alfred S. Marlow used his knowledge of pumps from his father's company, Marlow Pumps, to create the originator of the thermoplastic centrifugal transfer pump. From small humble beginnings to our current state of the art facility, Pacer has grown into the most trusted name in fluid transfer. There is no better pump on the market than a Pacer Pump, handcrafted in Lancaster, PA USA.
What Makes Our Transfer Pumps Different
- Seals internally submerged for cooling after initial prime
- Forgiving dry run capability for unexpected conditions
- Thermoplastic construction resists corrosion and outlasts metal pumps
- IPW series holds NSF certification for potable water transfer
- Stress tested at three times rated running pressure
- Metal pump options added to meet evolving industry needs
When other brands market "wet seal technology," our transfer pumps were already designed with seals internally submerged for cooling. This leads to forgiving dry run capability when unforeseen instances occur. We carry full insurance and bonding for your peace of mind.
Our transfer pumps have pumped millions of gallons during Hurricane Katrina and Sandy relief. They protect homes during wildfires and supply drinking water to refugee operations overseas.
Our Assembly and Testing Process
Every transfer pump receives individual attention from skilled craftsmen with decades of experience:
- Hydrostatic testing verifies seal integrity before pumps leave our floor
- Housing stress tests confirm pressure ratings at triple stated capacity
- Flow testing validates performance on site with our assembly team
- Packaged precisely into the best fit and safest packaging on the market
- Ready for infield use, retail shelves, and OEM applications
We customize pump repair kits to meet specific needs and deliver full containers of pump kits throughout the world. Our team provides excellent customer service, competitive pricing, and accelerated processing.
