Multiquip Electric Submersible Trash Pumps

Multiquip submersible trash pumps are built to handle heavily debris-laden water, easily passing solids up to 1 inch in diameter. These compact, single-phase electric pumps deliver reliable performance with high-efficiency impellers and durable construction.

Description

Multiquip Electric Trash Pump Series

Multiquip’s electric trash pump line brings high-flow ruggedness to spaces where gas fumes or engine noise are not an option. Packed into a compact, easy-to-deploy frame, each unit behaves like a heavy-duty submersible water pump but is purpose-built to pass solids up to 1 inch, clearing trenches, pits, and basements faster than lightweight clean-water models.

Why an Electric Trash Pump?

A job site rarely hands you crystal-clear runoff. More often it’s slurry, sand, and aggregate that can choke ordinary pumps. Every electric trash pump in this series uses a cast-iron vortex impeller, double mechanical seals, and oversized inlets to keep slurry moving without clogging. Because the pump is an electrical submersible pump, it starts instantly, produces zero exhaust, and runs quietly under strict indoor or nighttime regulations. Contractors often refer to these rugged units as a “garbage pump” thanks to their ability to swallow debris that would destroy lesser equipment.

Each electric trash pump features molded, watertight plugs and 25- to 50-foot power cords for instant drop-and-pump convenience. Unlike a standard submersible water pump, the strainer plate is slotted to pass stones, leaves, and job-site sediment, making every model a true garbage pump that resists clogging shift after shift.

Key Engineering Advantages

  • Robust Build: Heavy-gauge housing shields the electrical submersible pump from impacts; stainless hardware fights corrosion in dirty water.
  • Thermal Protection: Automatic shutdown prevents motor damage if the electric trash pump runs dry or overheats.
  • Tool-Free Service: A quick-release bottom plate lets crews clear impellers in minutes, a must when a garbage pump sees constant debris.
  • High-Efficiency Motors: Lower amp draw means multiple units can share a generator or temporary panel, out-performing many conventional submersible water pump options.

Typical Applications

  1. Utility & Telecom Trenches – Keep excavations dry for safe conduit installation.
  2. Concrete Wash-Down Pits – The electric trash pump handles slurry without chemical fumes.
  3. Basement Flood Recovery – Quiet operation lets crews run the electrical submersible pump overnight in residential settings.
  4. Municipal Vaults & Lift Stations – Pass ragged debris that would jam a light-duty submersible water pump.

Why Choose Multiquip?

Multiquip backs every electric trash pump with parts commonality across models, simplifying maintenance for rental yards and large fleets. Their reputation for reliability means fewer emergency callouts and happier end-users. When a project demands a pump tough enough to act as a garbage pump yet clean enough for indoor use, this series delivers.
