Types of Oil Pumps
- Barrel and Drum Pumps: Rotary or electric pumps designed to transfer oil, lubricants or chemicals from 200-litre drums and barrels. Essential in high-volume lubrication environments such as mining, agriculture and fleet workshops where bulk oil storage is used.
- Gear Pumps: Positive-displacement pumps using meshing gears to transfer oil at controlled flow rates. Used in industrial lubrication systems, hydraulic circuits and oil transfer applications where consistent pressure and flow are required.
- Hand-Operated Transfer Pumps: Manual rotary or lever-action pumps for dispensing oil from drums or containers without requiring power. Used in workshops, agricultural sheds and service vehicles for low-volume oil transfer and dispensing.
- Pneumatic Oil Pumps: Air-powered pumps for high-volume oil transfer in workshop environments with compressed air infrastructure. Pneumatic pumps provide fast transfer rates with no electrical hazard in environments where flammable fluids are handled.

People Also Ask — Oil Pumps
What's the difference between a gear pump and a pneumatic oil pump?
Gear pumps are positive-displacement with meshing gears for controlled flow rate — suited to industrial lubrication and hydraulic circuits. Pneumatic pumps are air-powered for high-volume transfer and carry no electrical hazard where flammable fluids are handled.
What's the advantage of a lever-action drum pump over a basic hand pump?
A lever pump handles higher volume transfer across drums and IBCs, where a basic hand/drum pump is a more economical option better suited to occasional or backup use on a single 200L drum.
Can I use any oil pump for any type of oil?
No — pump chemistry must match oil type, since viscosity varies significantly. Hydraulic pumps suit hydraulic oil; gear pumps handle thicker oils better.
Is a pneumatic oil pump a safer choice than an electric one around flammable fluids?
Yes — pneumatic pumps carry no electrical hazard, which matters where flammable fluids are handled in a workshop that already has compressed air infrastructure installed.
Q: What is a 12 volt oil pump suited to?
A 12 volt (or 24 volt) battery powered drum pump is a mobile option suited to site work and vehicle-mounted use where mains power isn't available.
Q: What is a diaphragm oil pump used for?
A diaphragm (air-operated) oil pump is suited to dirty oil and waste oil transfer, where its design tolerates contamination that would damage other pump types.
Q: What is a centrifugal oil pump used for?
A centrifugal oil pump is suited to bulk transfer applications requiring sustained flow, rather than the metered or low-volume dispensing that hand and lever pumps handle.
Q: When would I use a 240V electric drum pump instead of a manual one?
A 240V electric drum pump suits fixed, mains-powered workshop installations where frequent or higher-volume dispensing makes a manual hand or lever pump impractical.
