The WX390A-860 is a fire pump designed to meet and exceed the pump truck and trailer requirements put forth by the Washington Department of Natural Resources and Oregon Department of Forestry. Combined with a commercial grade GX390 Honda Engine, the Ace GE-860 centrifugal pump has a maximum pressure of 140 psi and a maximum flow of 150 gpm. The pump housing is cast iron, and the seals are Viton ceramic. Internal pump parts are replaceable if needed. This pump is also useful in other fire mitigation applications.

The ACE GE-860-LE is a standard centrifugal pump and is not self-priming. ACE does not publish a maximum suction lift specification for the GE-860 in its product sheet, but the practical limit is governed by centrifugal pump physics and priming requirements.
For centrifugal pumps of this type:
- Theoretical maximum suction lift: about 25 ft at sea level
- Practical maximum suction lift: typically 15–20 ft
- Recommended for reliable operation: keep suction lift under 10–15 ft whenever possible
A common centrifugal pump installation guideline is that maximum suction lift should not exceed 15 ft, including friction losses, to maintain prime and prevent cavitation.
