You’ll probably be aware that we offer pump rental solutions to customers across all market sectors, but did you know that we can also sell almost every unit displayed on our website? We even sell products that aren’t listed online, which is good news for anyone looking to purchase equipment from the country’s largest pumps supplier!
What Defines a Strategic Pump Investment?
Navigating the market for purchasing industrial pumps requires a clear understanding of the diverse technologies available. Whether you are managing complex groundwater on a construction site or moving sludge in a waste treatment facility, selecting the correct hardware is critical to preventing costly delays.
Owning your equipment ensures immediate asset availability for critical infrastructure, particularly in sectors like utilities, healthcare, and manufacturing where maintaining operational continuity is not just a KPI, but a necessity. Furthermore, buying from Sykes Pumps guarantees better access to spare parts, maintenance expertise, and a support chain that inherently understands local environmental compliance laws.
Because of our standing in the industry, customers frequently ask us to manufacture custom-built pumps produced to their unique specifications – requests that we’re only too happy to accommodate.
Navigating Different Types of Industrial Pumps
Selecting the correct capital equipment requires a deep understanding of fluid dynamics and site constraints. Whether you are moving abrasive sludge or managing clean water transfer, understanding the different types of industrial pump technology available for purchase is critical.
Below, we breakdown the primary categories we manufacture and sell, mapping them to specific operational needs.
1. General Purpose Pumps
For standard construction dewatering and utility transfer, our General Purpose (GP) range offers a balance of durability and performance. These units are designed for rapid response and automatic priming. Ideal for sites requiring robust performance for prolonged periods with minimal maintenance intervention.
GP 80 eco A highly durable and maneuverable diesel pump featuring a silenced engine and extended fuel economy for 24-hour continuous operation. |  |
| Rapid Response A lightweight, road-towable unit mounted on a high-speed trailer designed for immediate deployment to critical emergency incidents. |  |
| GP100E An eco-friendly 4” electric pump that delivers quiet, emission-free performance for sites with access to local power supplies. |  |
| GP 100M HATZ A silenced general purpose pump featuring a canopied engine for discreet, noise-compliant operation in sensitive urban or residential areas. |  |
| GP150E A high-capacity 6” electric pump offering powerful flow rates and solids handling with zero exhaust emissions for environmentally conscious projects. |  |
| GP 150M HATZ A high-performance silenced diesel pump capable of delivering impressive flow rates and heads while minimizing noise disruption. |  |
2. Super Silenced Pumps
When operating in residential areas, hospitals, or city centres, noise pollution and emissions are major concerns. These units feature acoustic canopies to significantly reduce decibel levels during operation. Additionally, they utilise Tier V compliant engines to meet strict UK emission standards, effectively future-proofing your investment against tightening regulations.
When operating in residential areas, hospitals, or city centres, noise pollution and emissions are major concerns. We lead the market in industrial pump types that prioritise environmental stewardship without sacrificing power. These units feature acoustic canopies to reduce decibel levels significantly and utilise Tier V compliant engines to meet strict UK emission standards, future-proofing your investment against tightening regulations.
| Super Wispaset 80 eco A compact 3” super silenced pump featuring a Hatz diesel engine and acoustic canopy, offering impressive performance with a bunded tank for 24-hour continuous operation. |  |
| HP100 Super Silenced A 4” high-performance jetting pump designed for environments requiring high pressure (90m head) and quiet, unattended operation for up to 24 hours. |  |
| HP150 Super Silenced A powerful 6” high-pressure pump capable of delivering 100 litres per second flow and 90m head, optimised for efficiency and noise reduction in critical applications. |  |
| Super Wispaset 100 A medium-sized, self-contained silenced pump featuring telemetry for remote monitoring and float level control to eliminate the need for constant site attendance. |  |
| Super Wispaset 150 A proven 6” pump serves as the robust baseline for silenced dewatering, offering high-performance capability without the specific emissions-focused engine technology that defines the Tier V and Eco variants. |  |
| Super Wispaset 150 Tier V Targeted at environmentally regulated zones, this model improves upon the standard unit with Stage V emissions compliance while maintaining a larger engine profile than the fuel-saving Eco version to ensure full performance. | |
| Super Wispaset 150 Eco While sharing the Tier V compliance of the emissions-focused model, this unit distinguishes itself with a smaller engine designed specifically to minimize fuel consumption and running costs compared to its two counterparts. | |
| Super Wispaset 200 Ecotec An 8” general purpose pump powered by a British-manufactured JCB Ecomax engine, offering 10% better fuel economy and advanced remote start/stop telemetry. |  |
| Super Wispaset 200 A robust 8” double-bunded pump designed for extensive unattended use, capable of handling slurry, sludge, and dirty water with high flow rates. |  |
| Super Wispaset 300 A high-efficiency 12” silenced pump designed for high flow, lower head applications, capable of moving 415 litres per second with excellent solids handling. |  |
3. Submersible Drainage Pumps
Suction lift is often unfeasible in scenarios such as deep shaft mining or basement flooding. In these instances, submersible pumps are the requisite industrial water pump types. They offer high portability and are essential for effective groundwater control and sewage bypass projects.
What’s more, every pump we sell has been fully tested to ensure it is in impeccable working order, providing you with the assurances you need to commission your equipment as soon as you receive it.
From Single Units to Fleet Supply
Sykes Pumps revered submersible, general purpose and super silenced ranges can all be purchased on either an individual or bulk basis. We have the capability to handle orders on any scale, with our British-based manufacturer guaranteeing quicker turnaround times than those associated with companies based overseas.
While the overwhelming majority of our sales transactions relate to Sykes Pumps units, we can also satisfy requirements involving other suppliers (for instance, Sulzer’s drainage submersibles).
Are you a local authority looking to purchase pumps for flood relief purposes? No problem. Perhaps you’re a construction firm seeking a permanent and long-term solution to unavoidable groundwater control issues? Fear not. Whatever your need, we have the answer.
Our friendly team of experts are widely experienced in handling even the most niche enquiries, and they can do the same for you.

FAQ
Do you offer warranties on purchased equipment?
Absolutely. All new pumps come with a standard manufacturer’s warranty. We also provide warranty terms for our ex-fleet sales, giving you peace of mind that your investment is protected.
Can you support the maintenance of the pumps I buy?
Yes. One of the key benefits of buying from Sykes is our nationwide support network. We offer service contracts and maintenance packages to keep your purchased assets running at peak efficiency, backed by our local depots.
Do you sell accessories like hoses and fittings?
Yes. We supply a complete range of ancillary equipment to create a fully functional system, including suction and high-pressure hoses, valves, steel pipes, filtration (fish strainers), and operational essentials like control panels, flow meters, and road ramps.
What is the difference between “Tier V” and “Eco” models?
Tier V refers to the latest European emission standards for non-road mobile machinery. Our “Eco” models are specifically engineered with smaller, high-efficiency engines to meet these standards while delivering lower fuel consumption for cost-sensitive projects.
