NLB president Forrest Shook was a founding member of the WaterJet Technology Association (WJTA) and continues to serve on its board of directors.

Mr. Shook was named Michigan Entrepreneur of the Year by Inc. magazine in 1991.
Pumps and Units
Need a unit you can operate at different pressures, up to 40,000 psi (2,800 bar)? We have many models you can convert in 20 minutes or so. (See video at right.) A diesel unit with 600 hp? UHP with low flow? No problem!
And now, many of NLB’s diesel powered units are available in the UltraGreenconfiguration. They have Tier 4f-compliant engines that meet the new EPA standards, reducing NOx and particulate matter by 90% or more. And since they use far less fuel, your operating costs are also dramatically lower.
There are many reasons contractors and industry specify NLB pump units, but here are the ones we hear most often:
- High efficiency (up to 97%) with consistent performance
- Low operating cost
- Fast, easy maintenance (e.g. 5-minute packing change)
- Advanced engineering and long-life materials
- Rebuildable after 20,000 hours
We’ve made it easy to find the right NLB pump unit for your application. You can search by type or try our handy selection guide by using the buttons at left.
