Trash & Waste Pumps
Trash & Waste Pumps Hire
Trash & Waste Pumps are used when standard Water Pumps can’t cope with solids, sludge or heavily contaminated water. They’re commonly hired for construction sites, drainage work and clean-ups where mud, sand or debris needs to be moved without clogging. Wenbro’s Trash & Waste Pumps are suited to high-volume transfer in demanding conditions and are often selected for excavations, sumps and flooded areas. In situations where suction lift or thick material is a challenge, contractors may opt for a Diaphragm Pump as an alternative. These pumps form part of a broader Pump Sets Hire range used across civil, construction and maintenance projects.

Yes. When correctly sized and maintained, they can operate continuously for dewatering and transfer applications.
Consider the size of solids, required flow rate, lift height and site access. Reviewing options within the Pump Sets Hire range can help, or get in touch with the Wenbro team on 087 073 7777 for guidance on the most suitable pump.
