Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
2″ petrol pump — robust petrol transfer pump for site dewatering
This 2″ petrol pump is a workhorse for draining flooded trenches, emptying ponds and shifting dirty water on site. Petrol-powered and self-priming, it delivers strong flow and can handle suspended solids, making it ideal for groundworkers, landscapers and builders.
What this pump is for
The 2″ petrol pump is designed for fast, temporary water removal across a wide range of site scenarios — dewatering excavations, removing surface water after heavy rain, emptying septic overflows and tank transfers where mains electric is unavailable. It’s compact enough to move around the yard yet powerful enough for demanding short-term jobs.
Key specs & features
- 2 inch (approx.) inlet and outlet — compatible with standard site hoses
- Petrol engine — runs where there’s no mains power
- Self-priming design for quick start-up
- High flow rate suitable for rapid dewatering; able to cope with small solids
- Lightweight frame with carry handles for easy transport
- Strainer fitted to prevent large debris entering the impeller
Why hire rather than buy
Most tradespeople don’t need a pump every week. Hiring a 2″ petrol pump from Breckland Plant Hire saves capital, maintenance and storage hassle — you get a fully serviced machine only for the time you need. For one-off drainage jobs it’s far cheaper and less faff than owning. We offer delivery within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham, or free collection from our depot if you prefer.
Operator & safety notes
- Only use petrol recommended by the manufacturer; switch off engine before refuelling and allow to cool.
- Wear PPE — gloves and eye protection. Pumps can throw water and debris.
- Check inlet strainer regularly to avoid blockages and damage to the impeller.
- Do not pump flammable liquids or oil-contaminated water unless explicitly permitted.
- Set the pump on stable ground, avoid running dry and never leave unattended while running.
- Follow local regulations for discharge points and safeguarding nearby drains.
