Then there’s the Flexi-drive pumps powered by the life-lasting Honda GX four-stroke engine, a pump type handy for contractors for drainage and de-watering. A default installation of dynapac coupling connects the 7m Flexi-drive shaft to the engine unit to reach the most unimaginative flooded areas. Each model has a massive 21m head.
There are also the Honda trash pumps, which are heavy-duty machines, with 2, 3 or 4 inch outlets and a remarkable upper limit of 2000lt/min. They can handle up to 30mm solids and come in a heavy-duty roll frame to stabilise while operating.
The trash pumps have heavy duty pump internals for pumping dirty water containing solids and up to 6lt fuel tanks to ensure autonomous operation for hours.
Specific purpose Honda products, for example, 2 inch and 3 inch honey pumps and petrol-powered pumps for pumping bitumen, are also within Riequip’s inventory.
