Electric Trash Pump

Quiet, Reliable Pumping for Tough Conditions

The electric trash pump series from Multiquip provides contractors with the durability and performance they need when gas engines are not an option. Designed for indoor projects, confined spaces, or jobs that require low noise and zero emissions, these pumps combine rugged construction with dependable output. Each electric trash pump passes solids up to 1 inch, clearing pits, trenches, and basements faster than standard clean-water models.

With heavy-duty components and plug-and-play convenience, the electric trash pump gives crews the ability to move dirty water efficiently while keeping operations safe and compliant.

Why Choose Electric Trash Pumps?

Job sites rarely offer clean water. More often, slurry, sand, and debris threaten to clog lesser units. That’s why Multiquip engineered every electric trash pump with a cast-iron vortex impeller, oversized inlets, and double mechanical seals. As a result, these pumps maintain flow without clogging, even in abrasive environments. Contractors often call them a garbage pump because they handle the debris that overwhelms standard pumps.

Since each model is an electrical submersible pump, it starts instantly, produces zero exhaust, and runs quietly. This makes it ideal for nighttime work, indoor environments, and areas where air quality matters.

Key Features and Advantages

  • Heavy-duty housings shield the pump and resist impact damage
  • Thermal protection automatically shuts down the motor if overheating occurs
  • Quick-release bottom plates allow easy service when clearing the impeller
  • High-efficiency motors reduce amp draw so multiple units can run on one generator
  • Long power cords and watertight plugs provide fast, safe setup

Together, these features make every submersible water pump in this lineup a dependable choice for demanding jobs.

Applications Across Industries

The versatility of these pumps ensures wide use in challenging environments:

  • Utility and telecom trenches where dry conditions are essential
  • Concrete wash-down pits where chemical fumes are not allowed
  • Residential basements where quiet operation is critical
  • Municipal lift stations where rag-filled water needs a strong garbage pump

Built for Professional Contractors

Multiquip designed the electric trash pump series to simplify fleet management. Parts are interchangeable across models, reducing downtime and easing maintenance. Combined with a rugged build, each submersible water pump delivers consistent performance that contractors trust for both short-term jobs and long-term projects.

Stay Ahead with Multiquip

When a project demands a pump tough enough to act as a garbage pump yet safe enough for indoor use, Multiquip delivers. With durability, quiet operation, and proven reliability, the electrical submersible pump line turns water problems into fast, manageable tasks. Add an electric trash pump to your fleet and keep your crews productive, your jobsites clean, and your schedules on track.
