Trash Pumps

Trash pumps contain many high quality components and are well worth the additional cost compared to dewatering pumps. This type of pump is often the preferred choice in the construction industry. These pumps can handle clean, muddy, mucky, or sandy water with solids up to 5.1 cm in diameter (depending on pump size) and between 10 to 25 percent by weight. Applications include pumping unwanted water from excavations, flooded basements, manholes, utility vaults, mining work, retention ponds, lakes and barge holds. Trash pumps are very popular in the construction industry because of their reliability, versatility, and durability under a variety of site conditions.
