Electric Series

Rice model ST-1, serial #0024, built and sold in Feb 1977, still in Rainbow’s rental fleet in June of 2002….

“It was quite a surprise to find we had one of the original RICE Hydrostatic Test Pumps in our rental fleet. This machine has been a reliable performer over the years, with no major breakdowns. Our test pumps normally pay for themselves 3 – 4 times each year. We have several in our fleet now. RICE test pumps are the only brand that we would consider buying, as we appreciate the dependability of quality machines.”

Original DE-2 in service with a contractor for over 20 years….

“Over 20 years ago, we purchased a RICE Hydro Test Pump, model DE-2. It has been a very trouble-free pump and has given us very good service, as we are a general contractor who installs water lines almost year round.”

“We have had to perform minimal repairs on the pump and when we did need to do repairs, the pump was very simple to work on. Our maintenance records indicate that the only parts we ever needed was a repair kit with piston cups and O-rings, which were readily available.”

“Most important of all, is that when we needed help from your company, your staff was always willing to provide us with the assistance we needed. We never had to wait for an answer, therefore our down-time was minimal.”

“We would recommend the purchase of this pump to anyone.”

One of the first TR-4 high-pressure test pumps built, sold into a rental in 1986….

“We purchased our TR-4 pressure pump in 1986. We have received 190 rentals (thru 2002) off of this unit and only spent $554.46 on repairs. Our main rentals on it were for pressure testing of pipelines and other common construction applications. The unit was very low maintenance which is rare. If it went out on rent we knew it was not coming back till our customers job was done. We wish all rental equipment was this dependable. We will definitely be buying from you in the future.”
