Discussion:
Shorter Pump Needed (Space constraint)

Hello all. I've been trying to find a gear pump for my forklift, and it's part of a big reworking of the lift into a specialized rigging duty machine. I've changed how the pump will be driven, so there's no forklift manufacturer to reference anymore. In the process, I need to find a gear pump with the following specs:

SAE "C" 4-bolt mount, SAE "C" 1.25 14 spline drive shaft, common inlet, dual outlet (I can work with any type fittings) 5.1 cu inch main pump and 2.2 cu inch steering pump

Problem is, I'm needing to find something that is shorter than 12 inches from end to the mounting face that goes against where it bolts to mount. Everything I am finding is about 1 to 2 inches too long. Would anybody know a make or type that is shorter than typical?

PS: I prefer gear pumps, but if someone can make a case for a vane pump, I'll listen. Thank you for any helping out.
