Custom made lifting chains are recommended so the slurry pump is lifted from a single point. This means that the pump remains vertical at all times, and is not lifted on an angle, which can happen on site if only one of the lifting points is used.
For lifting our submersible slurry pumps we recommend that a hoist with a minimum rating of 1.5 tonnes is used for our 30kW pumps and 5 tonnes for our 90 & 112kW pumps. This is because from our experience, additional lifting force can be required to break the pump free of the settled slurry, which is more than would be expected during normal operation, where only the weight of the pump and pipe work to be considered.
When pumping from a pontoon we have good experience with several designs our favoured is a modular system of floating cubes which can be assembled together quickly allowing, allowing for easy installation and transportation if the pontoon is ever required to be moved.
