Pumps by type

Electric submersible
Pumpex units for drainage, sludge and more are the best in the business. Fully portable and providing hours of unattended operation, simply choose the size and model for your application or location.

Hydraulic submersible
When suction lift requirements exceed nine metres for diesel driven pumpsets, the ideal solution is using a hydraulically driven submersible pump: a centrifugal solids handling pump driven by an integral hydraulic motor.

General purpose
For sustained performance and maximum reliability, our pumps are hard to beat, handling everything from clean water to sludge and slurry. Precision manufactured, they feature hardwearing cast-iron parts and corrosion resistant materials throughout.

Super silenced
 Sykes Pumps has again raised the bar in low-noise pumping without compromising on power, reliability and flexibility. Our Super Silenced Pump units are the benchmark against which other pumps will be measured, not least due to noise levels set at a maximum of 62 decibels at seven metres plus exceptional Telemetry facilities for remote pump operations and monitoring.

Silenced range
Wispaset advanced pumps mean your operations won't fall foul of noise control problems. These super-silent units deliver the power you need while exceeding the requirements of European and global noise legislation. You can operate day or night in overpumping, site de-watering, emergency sewer repairs, utilities, quarries, civil engineering projects and more.

Custom built
We'll design and build whatever you need, with custom units for specific heavy duty and high lift applications. We've delivered pumps civil engineering, mining and quarrying, process industries, municipal engineering and more.

Air pumps
With pump sizes ranging from 25mm to 75mm, our range of air-operated double diaphragm pumps are available with a combination of aluminium cast iron or stainless steel wetted parts and centre sections, with a choice of elastomer option materials. Options are also available for the specific transfer of aggressive liquids, or the hygienic handling of food substances.

Accessories
The range is complemented by an unbeatable array of high performance hoses, pipes and tubing, Bauer type accessories, and flanged/NP16 accessories, plus fast and cost-effective fuel supplies nationwide.

The Pump hire industry standard

The general-purpose industry standard for contractors, water authorities and local agencies, the Univac GP pump range has evolved from 150 years of heavy-duty pump manufacture. Univac pumps are typical of the range, using tried and tested components, selected to ensure maximum reliability.

These pumps are easy to maintain and provide hours of unattended operation or intermittent flow.

Used wherever there is a need for positive self priming, Univac pumps incorporates the unique vacuum system, enabling the pump to prime and reprime fully automatically from dry, and operate with the suction intake intermittently exposed to atmosphere. 

Provided with Lister engine power as standard, all GP pumps are available with alternative engines, motors and chassis configurations, together with the widest range of accessories and fittings.
