Orion Motor Tech 55 Gallon Drum Pump — Telescoping Polypropylene Hand Pump, 11.8–35.4" Reach, Case Included

Orion Motor Tech's OMT 55 Gallon Drum Pump is a telescoping polypropylene hand pump engineered to transfer water-based fluids and chemical solutions quickly and cleanly from 5 to 55 gallon drums and barrels.

This compact drum pump assembles fast, stores in a molded carry case, and uses a 3/4-inch spout and 3-section suction tube to reach fluids in small jerry cans up through full 55-gallon barrels. Built from corrosion-resistant polypropylene with an ergonomic handle, it’s meant for routine fluid handling tasks where gasoline and very high-viscosity liquids are not required. The pump’s extendable range, wide fluid compatibility, and lightweight construction make it useful across workshops, farms, fleet garages, and industrial stockrooms.

How far will the telescoping tube reach and which drum sizes will it fit?

The pump’s three-section suction tube telescopes from 11.8 inches to 35.4 inches, so it can draw liquid from small containers up to full-size 55-gallon drums. It was designed to be versatile for common drum heights and depths used in commercial and consumer settings.

• Minimum tube length: 11.8" for small containers like 5–15 gallon cans.
• Maximum tube length: 35.4" to reach the bottom of most 55-gallon barrels.
• Fits standard drum openings and barrels used in workshops and storage areas.

What fluids can the OMT 55 Gallon Drum Pump handle safely?

This drum pump is suitable for water-based fluids and many chemical solutions commonly stored in drums, such as urea solutions (AdBlue), diesel exhaust fluid, light oils, and antifreeze. It is not intended for gasoline, strong solvents, or heavy high-viscosity fluids; compatibility depends on the fluid’s chemical makeup.

• Compatible: water, urea/AdBlue, diesel exhaust fluid, light fuel oil, antifreeze.
• Not recommended: gasoline, strong solvents, very thick oils, or abrasive solids.
• 3/4" discharge spout matches standard hoses and funnels for controlled pouring.

How easy is the pump to use, carry, and maintain?

The pump’s snap-fit pieces assemble and disassemble quickly for transport and cleaning. An ergonomic handle provides a comfortable grip for steady pumping, and a custom-molded case protects components during storage or while moving between jobs.

• Tool-free assembly and breakdown for fast setup and cleaning.
• Ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during repeated transfers.
• Includes a molded storage case for organized transport and protection.

How durable is the construction for everyday workshop or farm use?

Made from corrosion-resistant polypropylene, the OMT 55 Gallon Drum Pump resists many common chemicals and holds up under routine handling. Its materials and design prioritize longevity for users who transfer fluids regularly but want a lightweight, non-metallic option.

• Polypropylene body resists rust and many chemical effects.
• Lightweight yet rugged for repeated daily use.
• 3/4" spout and seals designed to minimize drips and wear.

Who is this for: The Orion Motor Tech OMT 55 Gallon Drum Pump is aimed at fleet managers, small shop owners, farmers, maintenance technicians, and hobbyists who need a reliable, portable solution for moving water-based and chemical fluids between containers. If you regularly dispense AdBlue/urea solutions, pump light oils, or refill equipment from drums and want a corrosion-resistant, easy-to-store hand pump, this model provides a practical balance of reach, compatibility, and durability. Avoid this pump if your primary need is gasoline transfer or pumping very viscous materials.
