Description

PT3A: Rugged Power for Demanding Dewatering

Built for Maximum Jobsite Efficiency

The PT3A from Wacker Neuson gives contractors reliable water removal in tough conditions. Because it works as a heavy-duty trash pump, it handles mud, debris, and sand without slowing down. As a dependable 3 trash pump, it keeps job sites dry, productive, and safe. Unlike lighter models, the PT3A blends high volume capacity with rugged durability for efficient dewatering.

High-Performance Pumping Power

The PT3A uses a durable centrifugal pump design that moves large volumes of water quickly while maintaining consistent suction. With its 3-inch discharge, crews clear flooded areas, trenches, or stormwater with speed. Operators also benefit from self-priming technology, which reduces downtime and keeps water moving without delays.

  • 3-inch discharge system for fast, high-volume pumping
  • Self-priming design for easy and efficient startup
  • Handles solids and debris like a true dirty water pump
  • Strong suction for reliable performance in heavy conditions

Durable Build for Long-Term Use

The PT3A thrives in demanding environments because of its rugged construction. With chrome cast iron impellers, ductile iron volutes, and wear-resistant seals, this pump delivers consistent results even with abrasive materials. Contractors rely on it for long service life and reduced maintenance costs.

  • Chrome cast iron impeller extends pump life
  • Ductile iron volute adds strength and impact resistance
  • Silicon-carbide mechanical seals reduce wear and leakage
  • Engineered durability for nonstop jobsite performance

Compact, Portable, and Easy to Operate

Although tough, the PT3A stays portable and simple to manage. Its lightweight aluminum housing and single-point lift make transport easy. With large fill and drain plugs plus quick-access service points, crews spend less time maintaining and more time working.

  • Lightweight aluminum housing for portability
  • Single-point lift for easy loading and unloading
  • Large fill and drain plugs for simple service
  • Compact design for effortless mobility on-site

Versatility Across Applications

The PT3A adapts to multiple industries, proving itself as more than just a trash pump. It works as a reliable solution for construction, municipal utility work, and industrial projects. Whether moving muddy water or managing emergency floods, this centrifugal pump delivers steady results.

  • Construction: Pumps mud, debris, and excess water to maintain dry sites
  • Utilities: Moves stormwater and supports emergency response efforts
  • Industrial & Agriculture: Handles irrigation and large-scale drainage with ease
