Trust Cat Pumps reliability for hydroexcavation
Cat Pumps’ 2565T13 plunger pump delivers the proven performance OEMs rely on for hydroexcavating and sewer jetting, producing 20 gpm at 3,000 psi. Built for mobile equipment where every inch matters, the 2565T13 utilizes a compact direct-mount SAE-B flange and 13-tooth hollow spline shaft, eliminating the bell housing and reducing pump width by more than 7 1/2 inches. This smaller footprint frees critical cabinet space and streamlines hydraulic-drive integration. A solid brass block manifold protects against pressure spikes, cavitation and flaking caused by dirty water sources, while the industry’s leading crankcase coating guards against harsh job site environments. The wet end is easy to service from the front, enabling fast, reliable on-truck maintenance. Performance-proven and backed by Cat Pumps’ worldwide distribution network, the 2565T13 is engineered to outperform and outlast in demanding mobile applications. 763-780-5440; www.catpumps.com
