Petrol Diaphragm Pumps
Portable, fast-start mechanical diaphragm pumps designed for contractors, civil crews, maintenance teams and rapid-response dewatering tasks.
Allflo’s petrol-driven diaphragm pumps provide strong suction lift, dependable self-priming, and easy mobility — making them ideal for short-term pumping, intermittent operation, and sites without convenient access to power.
With rugged build quality, dry-run capability and the ability to handle abrasive slurries and solids, these pumps deliver reliable performance across sludge, slurry, wastewater and general fluid transfer.
For trades, councils, groundworkers and maintenance operations, petrol diaphragm pumps offer an affordable, versatile pumping solution for everyday site challenges.
- Self-priming suction lift up to 7.5 m
- Fast-start petrol engine for rapid deployment
- Dry-run safe with rugged frames for site handling
- Passes solids up to 80% of port size
- Portable design suits short-term/remote tasks

Materials & Configuration Options
- Diaphragms: Buna-N, Neoprene, Viton
- Wetted Parts: Aluminium, 316 Stainless Steel, Cast Iron
- Mounting: Baseplate, Skid, Carry Frame
- Optional engine guards, lifting points, anti-vibration mounts
The RD Series Petrol Diaphragm Pumps use a reinforced diaphragm actuated by a mechanical eccentric cam and gearbox to generate strong suction and reliable pumping without seals or rotating wetted parts.
This makes them ideal for viscous, abrasive, and solids-laden fluids, especially where portability and rapid deployment are required.
