I haven't figured out what I think it is yet.
Over 40 years in the mechanical construction industry, 67 projects in 29 states. What I can add is that fire protection systems were specifically painted red for quick identification.

I see writing on the tapered part? No idea either but probably fire fighting gear, pretty fancy pump handle though. Maybe a portable fire water tank used in a factory?
