Trailer mounted pumpset for mine dewatering

This trailer mounted pumpset was prepared for a Queensland based mining company for dewatering in a coal mine. The pump is a Southern Cross 200x150-400 driven by a Daewoo D1146T diesel engine. To avoid the possibility of pump misalignment a drive shaft with 2 universal joints was fitted

 

Heavy duty components were used in the tandem trailer, which had braking equipment fitted. Heavy duty jacks were fitted to the gooseneck and each of the back corners to give stability while the pump was running.  The trailer was designed for off road use only. A large plastic tank was built into the trailer to allow enough water to fill the pump, and suction hoses to enable easy priming.
A winch  and A frame was fitted to handle the suction hoses easily and safely even when full of water.

 

 

The trailer was also supplied with fire extinguisher and emergency eyewash facilities.
