Clarke Fire Protection Products sold its first diesel fire pump driver in 1964 as a regional distributor for GM Diesel. We began manufacturing our own UL/FM driver in 1980 and now market the largest line diesel fire pump drivers in the world. To date, there are more than 100,000 engines bearing the Clarke name have been sold internationally. And although we`ve protected people and property for over a half century, we still believe that our success should be measured by achievements rather than years.

Many of our engineered solutions are recognized as industry "firsts". Another industry first, from the Clarke engineering group, is our innovative and patented Pressure Limited Driver diesel engine which protects the sprinkler system from over pressurization by varying engine RPM. In recent years, Clarke responded quickly and effectively to environmental reforms, introducing new UL/FM engine models that complied with EPA emission regulations.

Clarke introduced dual starting technology as well as the technology for dual ECM electronic injection engines. Both increased diesel engine reliability and performance. Our driveshaft style couplings solved field alignment problems, and significantly reduced the time needed for engine/fire pump installation and maintenance. Clarke has implemented an exciting, ongoing and continuous product improvement program which will provide even more high quality Clarke engine models to meet and exceed the demands of our growing global market place.

Superior Engineering, Quality Manufacturing, Proven Performance

Throughout Clarke`s history, we have stayed true to proven engineering principles, best-of-best manufacturing practices and comprehensive testing procedures. Every engine that leaves our plant is built to the highest standards and rigorously tested for reliable performance. Nothing is left to chance because once installed, every fire pump driver must perform on demand and without fail. Clarke maintains a close relationship with world class engine manufacturers to assure consistent product availability. Our base engines are manufactured by John Deere, Doosan, Kohler and Deutz. We have more than one hundred engine models available, both UL/FM and Non-Listed. And with our experience configuring engine speed and power ratings for customers around the world, we can build fire pump drivers to any certification or country specification.

Decades of innovation, state of the art technology and engineering, worldwide installation and support; Clarke is your global leader in diesel fire pump engines.
