The Multiquip MQ600HTP Trash Pump is a high-capacity, industrial-grade 6-inch trailer-mounted pump built for contractors, municipal agencies, and disaster response teams that require maximum water-moving power and solids handling. With its tough design, state-of-the-art diesel engine, and market-leading specifications, the MQ600HTP is a staple for major dewatering, flood control, sewage bypass, and construction dewatering jobs where reliability and throughput are paramount.

Product Overview

The MQ600HTP is engineered for continuous, heavy-duty operation and is a trusted solution for challenging environments—from flood emergencies to large excavation sites. Mounted on a DOT-compliant trailer, this self-contained unit offers fast on-site deployment and straightforward transport between multiple locations. Its design prioritizes ease of use, field serviceability, and top-tier flow performance for both clean and debris-laden water.

Core Features

• Enormous Flow Rate: Pumps up to 1,600 gallons per minute (GPM), making it ideal for rapid water removal on big projects.

• High Head Capability: Maximum head of 150 feet (45.7 meters) enables water discharge across long horizontal runs or up tall vertical sections—crucial for municipal and civil projects.

• Solids Handling: Can pass solids up to 3 inches (76 mm) in diameter, easily managing debris in stormwater, construction runoff, and sewage bypass flows.

• HATZ 4-Cylinder Turbo Diesel Engine: Fuel-efficient, Tier IV Final, 68.4 HP turbocharged HATZ engine provides premium power and meets strict emissions standards for all regulated jobsites.

• BOSCH Common Rail Fuel System: Triple filtration system increases component life and improves cold starts/shutdowns for reliability in any weather or field condition.

• Long Runtime: 40-gallon (151 L) integral fuel tank provides up to 22 hours operating time on a single fill—supporting round-the-clock pumping.

• Heavy-Duty Trailer: DOT/NHTSA-certified, highway-ready with 3-inch pintle hitch; supports legal and secure towing between worksites.

• LOFA 620 Control Panel: Shock-mounted display with comprehensive engine/system data (fuel, run hours, alarms, pressures, and temperature) for safe, easy operation by crews.

• Field-Serviceable Pump End: Cast iron impeller and stainless steel wear plate are abrasion resistant, while the large, quick-access clean-out cover means fast service and jam removal even in high-debris jobs.

• Tough Mechanical Seal: Tungsten/carbide oil-lubricated for durability in abrasive and dirty water.

Technical Specifications

Performance and Benefits

• Confidence in Emergencies: Rapid-deployment capability with a massive water-moving rate means the MQ600HTP is a first-line tool for flood, storm, and disaster response teams—effectively draining entire cellars, streets, or neighborhoods in hours.

• Real World Solids Handling: Open impeller/volute design allows passage of sticks, mud, rocks, and other debris; pumps keep running even when lesser models clog and stall.

• Operation Made Simple: Start/stop key switch, digital diagnostics, and LOFA 620 panel make daily checks and operation accessible to experienced and new users alike.

• Unmatched Durability: Premium materials (ductile iron, stainless plate, tungsten/carbide) and rugged chassis keep the pump running for years even in tough rental, municipal, and construction environments.

Applications

• Large-Site Dewatering: For jobs from bridge footings and deep excavations to foundation pours, this pump keeps pits and trenches dry.

• Sewer Bypass and Utility Work: Essential for moving contaminated water or bypassing sections of pipe during repair/upgrades.

• Flood Recovery & Disaster Relief: Used by FEMA, emergency managers, and public works fleets nationwide for fast water evacuation in extreme weather events.

• Industrial Waste & Stormwater Management: Processes high-volume slurries, storm runoffs, plant cleaning, and any non-drinking water job demanding high flow and solids capacity.

User Reviews & Industry Trust

• Contractor Verified Flow: Professionals routinely praise the MQ600HTP for delivering true-to-spec flow rates—unlike many cheaper pumps that fall short of their claimed capacity.

• Long Run, Low Maintenance: Customers cite weeks of continuous operation with only standard oil/fuel checks and quick cleanouts after blockages.

• Top Rental Pick: Rental yards prefer the MQ600HTP for its robust pump end, rapid jam clearing, and low return rate even in heavy utility and site work cycles.

Usage and Maintenance Tips

• Pre-Use: Check engine oil, coolant, fuel, and fill pump chamber for wet priming.

• After Each Shift: Inspect suction/discharge hoses, seals, and impeller chamber for debris; flush with clean water if high solids were present.

• Scheduled Service: Replace air/fuel/oil filters as recommended and check the wear plate and seal for erosion every 250–500 run hours.

• Safety: Always confirm trailer hitch, safety chains, and DOT lights before towing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can the MQ600HTP handle raw sewage/measured slurries?
A: Yes, the pump is capable of handling 3” solids, slurries, stormwater runoff, and many industrial or municipal wastewater flows.

Q: Can the engine run all day and night?
A: With 22-hour fuel capacity, just a single refuel per day can keep the pump running in 24/7 operations, ideal for emergencies or temporary bypass needs.

Q: What’s the fuel consumption/hour?
A: The efficient Tier IV HATZ engine typically consumes approximately 1.5–2.0 gallons/hour under load.

Q: How easy is field maintenance?
A: Cleanout cover opens with minimal tools, wear items are service-accessible onsite, and the LOFA diagnostics panel streamlines troubleshooting.
