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.
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Trash & Waste Pumps different from Water Pumps?
Trash & Waste Pumps are designed to handle water containing solids such as sand, stones and sludge.
When should I hire a Trash & Waste Pump instead of a Submersible Pump?
Use Trash & Waste Pumps when water contains debris. Submersible Pumps are better suited to clean or lightly contaminated water.
What is a Diaphragm Pump and when is it used?
A Diaphragm Pump is used for thick sludge, high suction lift or low-flow conditions where centrifugal pumps struggle.
Are Trash & Waste Pumps suitable for continuous operation?
Yes — when correctly sized and maintained, Trash & Waste Pumps can operate continuously on site.
How do I choose the right Trash & Waste Pump?
Consider solids size, flow rate and lift height. Review the Pump Sets Hire range or contact Wenbro on 087 073 7777 for guidance.
