Trash Pumps (2”– 6”)
Home » Our Services » Water & Pressure Pumps » Trash Pumps
Trash pumps are designed to handle dirty water containing solids, debris and sludge, making them ideal for demanding site conditions where standard water pumps may not be suitable. They are commonly used for dewatering and managing water in construction and industrial environments.
Bo’s Plant & Tool Hire supplies 2” to 6” trash pumps, suitable for handling contaminated water and heavy-duty pumping applications.

Trash Pumps
Dewatering & Dirty Water Applications
Trash pumps are used where water contains sand, mud, stones or other debris that would clog or damage standard pumps. Their design allows them to move both liquid and solid material efficiently.
They are typically used for:
- Dewatering construction sites
- Removing water from trenches and excavations
- Pumping out flooded areas
- Handling slurry and dirty water
- General site drainage
Using a trash pump helps maintain safe and workable site conditions, especially in challenging environments.
2” to 6” Pump Options
Bo’s supplies trash pumps in a range of sizes to suit different site requirements and flow demands.
The 2” and 3” pumps are suited to smaller jobs and moderate water volumes, offering flexibility and ease of use.
The 4” pump provides increased capacity for larger dewatering applications.
The 6” pump is designed for high-volume pumping, making it suitable for large sites and heavy-duty operations.
Selecting the correct pump size ensures efficient water removal and improved productivity on site.
Built for Demanding Environments
Trash pumps are designed to operate in tough environments where reliability is critical. Their ability to handle debris and contaminated water makes them a practical solution for construction and civil projects.
They are commonly used on sites where standard clean water pumps would not perform effectively.
Choosing The Right Pump
The correct pump depends on the level of contamination, required flow rate and the size of the area being drained.
Trash pumps are ideal for dirty water applications. For clean water transfer, a centrifugal pump may be more suitable.
Selecting the appropriate equipment ensures reliable performance and efficient site operation.
