Maintaining a quality landscaping service requires handling chemicals for lawn treatments. Unfortunately, most of the pesticides, fertilizer, growth hormones and herbicides that are sprayed as lawn treatment can be harmful when directly contacted. As a mobile service, you’ll need to transport these very chemicals from storage to the working location, dispense the chemicals into portable containers, and apply the chemical to the target location. That means there are many chances for chemicals to spill out and saturate the ground or contact skin.
GoatThroat pumps can supply your business with quality sealed hand drum pumps that reduce the risk of chemical exposure and provide smooth control over the rate of flow. With our pumps, your business can expand chemical purchases to larger containers without the need to physically pour the chemical into portable containers. From storage to portable application, GoatThroat has the pumps you need to transfer and apply your landscaping chemicals. Ease the lawn and garden watering routine with GoatThroat rain barrel pumps and irrigation hand pumps. Our landscape pumps are also an excellent fit for golf course maintenance.
With GoatThroat hand drum pump products your landscaping business can handle chemical applications faster, more efficiently, and safely. Your hard-working labor team will be able to get the job done well without worrying about added health risks of accidental chemical exposure. Your company will be chemical-ready for years to come with a GoatThroat landscape pump for every one of your chemical needs.

“I HAD TAPPED A FEW KEGS IN MY YOUTH, SO I WAS FAMILIAR WITH THE TECHNOLOGY that permitted the drums to be positioned vertically and then easily pressurized with short strokes.”
“That was six years ago and not only have the pumps turned out great, I’ve also added some options that make life at the course even easier. One is a remote tap that comes at the end of flexible tubing so we can set the receptacle on the floor to fill it. That is very helpful when we’re pumping one of our fertilizers, liquid iron. It weighs 10 pounds per gallon, so if the employee is filling a 5-gallon can, he would end up holding 50 pounds. The other option was to use an adaptor with an air regulator on top. We hook the pump up directly to our compressor, so we don’t have to hand pump. The bottom line is that the pumps have saved us time, injuries, and products.
They paid for themselves very quickly.”
–Mike, Superintendent at The Ranch Golf Course in San Jose.
Just got a new goat throat pump ordered online. The website 2x checked to make sure I had the right pump for our chemicals. Shipped that day and arrived 2 days later. Couldn’t be happier with it and the crew love using this pump over any others we’ve had.

“We use d-limonene on our farm as a degreaser, cleaner, spot weed killer (melts weeds), spot ant killer and heavily diluted as an instant knockdown for paper wasps (they have a pleasant sting). D- limonene is a great nontoxic product. Storing it is another issue. It eats through almost everything except glass & stainless. But, it has no effect at all – zero – on the best liquid transfer pump ever made – the GoatThroat gt300 with Viton seals. Our pump has been attached to a fluorinated tank filled with 90% strength d-limonene for almost 13 years and the pump still works perfectly. In this day and age where so many items are made to be thrown away, it is heartwarming to find an American-made product that is simply superior and designed and built to last. I’m almost embarrassed I only had to buy one!”

Golf course management involves the purchase, storage, and dispensing of many types of liquids from fertilizers to insecticides and having to deal with all of the issues that come from these activities. Accordingly, Mike Higuera, Jr., Manager of The Ranch Golf Course in San Jose, CA suffered such difficulties when using high volumes of liquids: spills, employee injuries, leaks, and loss of product. The initial issue was that the 55-gallon drums of liquids were stored horizontally in a dedicated chemical shed with spigots mounted on the fronts. Positioning the full drums was both difficult and dangerous. Then, because they projected into the room, the spigots were often subject to accidental contact, sometimes being completely dislodged. The resultant mess was expensive and, depending on the chemical, dangerous to employees. ?I had tried a suction pump with an upright 55 gallon drum,? said Higuera. ?But it had a three-foot stroke and was...
The tip-and-pour method, as well as poorly designed pumps, can expose workers to injury and companies to significant financial losses Lawn care, landscape, golf course, and nursery handlers and applicators often transfer potentially hazardous chemicals and concentrates such as herbicides, insecticides, adjuvants, and fungicides, from large drums into smaller containers or mix tanks. This transfer process can have serious consequences if manual ?tip-and-pour? techniques or poorly designed pumps are used. In fact, each year 1,800-3,000 preventable occupational incidents involving pesticide exposure are reported. Keeping workers safe is not just a best management practice ? it is the law. The federal Worker Protection Standard (WPS) was revised in 2015 and now provides a greater focus on reducing pesticide exposures. A closed system of transferring chemicals reduces unnecessary exposures by providing controlled delivery of chemical products without fear of worker exposure, over-pouring, spilling, or releasing vapors. Many of the revisions became effective...
The landscape maintenance operations use a broad range of chemicals including fertilizers and herbicides. Field service technicians and managers are always searching for the best, most efficient ways to handle them. Inventory management is a critical component of the manager?s day to day operation. One issue which constantly arises is that the chemical room is frequently a mess because the available transfer methods offer little control for the fluid transfer from the large 30 and 55 gallon containers. Additionally, the available pumps breakdown regularly and need to be replaced which is costly to the bottom line. Recently, a manager at a California Lawn Care company had this very dilemma. While the chemical he was pumping is a very effective as an herbicide, but must be handled very carefully when transferring it into field use containers. The usual methods delivered frequent spill which had to be cleaned up. He started looking...
