Pump Rentals

Sykes Pumps has more expertise in pump hire services than any other supplier. Our diverse water pump for hire range, including submersible pumps and sludge pumps, can be used across many industries for ground dewatering, over-pumping and fluid movement applications. Our clients choose our 24/7 services for everything from a one-off pump rental to the design, installation and on-site management of complex schemes.

The need to rent a water pump can be driven by many factors but the key elements of the decision making process often involves balancing the convenience of hire against the capital cost of purchase and ownership. A good example of this is the water and wastewater sector which has many installed pumps and systems which require regular maintenance and which also, despite the maintenance regime, sometimes fail putting the process at risk.

In these circumstances, intervention in the form of additional – or replacement – pumping is needed.Obviously most businesses would prefer to keep contingency plans in-house and would probably see water pump hire as an unnecessary cost but in most circumstances, hire is actually cheaper than the cost of ownership.

Pumps are not a throwaway commodity, and the initial purchase price reflects that. The level of expertise required to service and maintain pumps is not always readily available in organisations and, if it is, that expertise is normally gainfully employed in a full-time role anyway! When the capital costs are added to wages, service vehicles, specialist tools as well as storage and distribution costs, it quickly becomes more cost effective to hire pumps from a supplier who already has that expertise and is based in multiple convenient locations.
