PUMP LIFTING CHAIN FAQ'S
What is pump chain?
A pump lifting chain is a special type of lifting chain specifically for lifting and lowering submersible pumps, commonly used in the water industry.
How is a pump chain different from standard chain?
Pump chains are different from normal because they have an extra, larger, oval link at repetitive intervals along the chain.
How does a pump lifting chain work?
When pumps are lowered into the ground a pump chain is used and left attached with the top link secured to an accessible point for easy retrieval. When retrieving the pump from its hole the pump chain can be manually lifted or winched in 1 metre increments. At each meter there is a large link which can be held or loaded onto an appropriate anchor point/hook to take the strain, this allows the pump to be raised slowly and safely. Tripod frames or aluminium gantries can be used during retrieval.
