The four-page brochure offers technical data, applications advice and accessories for this unique pump. The G-Pump is a portable hy- draulic pump. Bill Duffy, Goltens' marketing and sales manager, states: "This portable pump offers more power than any equivalent portable on the market. It will sup- ply and maintain an impressive 21,300 psi (1,500 kg/cm2) of pres- sure. The G-Pump, even at 21,000 psi of pressure, is extremely accu- rate, reliable and versatile."
