Trash pumps are designed to handle water containing solids, sand, silt and light debris. Our trash pump hire equipment can manage particles up to 25mm in diameter, making them ideal for construction site dewatering, stormwater management and situations where standard pumps might clog.

Selection depends on your specific requirements, including flow rate needs, discharge height and the type of solids being pumped. Our trash pump rental specialists can assess factors like water volume, debris content and pumping distance to recommend the most suitable unit for your application. Also consider the power type — petrol, diesel or electric — based on factors like mobility, fuel availability and noise restrictions.  

Regular checks of the strainer basket and impeller are essential for optimal trash pump performance. Daily inspections should include clearing any accumulated debris, checking fuel levels (if petrol or diesel trash pump) and ensuring proper priming. Our team provides comprehensive guidance on maintenance procedures with every trash pump hire.
