The Multiquip MQ62TKT Trash Pump is a powerful, trailer-mounted, diesel-driven solution designed for the most demanding construction, municipal, utility, and emergency dewatering applications. Engineered to move enormous volumes of water containing rocks, mud, debris, sticks, and even trash up to 3 inches in diameter, the MQ62TKT exemplifies Multiquip’s commitment to ruggedness, practicality, and field-proven reliability for professionals who need to move water—fast and uninterrupted.

Product Overview

The MQ62TKT centers on a Kohler KDW1404 Tier 4 Final 4-cylinder, liquid-cooled diesel engine with direct injection for reliable starting, excellent fuel economy, and industry-compliant emissions. Coupled to a durable, cast iron pump end with a stainless steel wear plate and tool-free cleanout, this makes the MQ62TKT an ideal asset for job sites, city fleets, rental companies, and disaster relief teams. Its included DOT/NHTSA-approved trailer and 28-gallon fuel tank mean rapid, highway-legal mobilization and extended running time at remote or emergency locations.

Core Features

• Ultra-High Flow: Pumps up to 1,190 gallons per minute (GPM)—ideal for rapid site dewatering, bypass pumping, large excavations, or flood management.

• Maximum Head: Capable of 111 feet of total head (48 PSI), making it useful for pumping uphill, over long distances, or supporting multi-story dewatering.

• 3-Inch Solids Handling: Robust open-vane, ductile iron impeller lets the MQ62TKT reliably pump trash, rocky runoff, and sediment-laden water, minimizing downtime for clogs or jams.

• Easy Wet Priming: Large fill port and wet-primed design allows quick start-up on the toughest water removal jobs; just fill the casing, start the engine, and pump.

• Pro Control Panel: LOFA EL240 digital, shock-mounted panel with full status monitoring: hour meter, oil pressure, coolant temp, preheat, and start/stop—reduces training time and prevents operator mistakes.

• 28-Gallon Fuel Cell: Delivers up to 15+ hours of run time between refueling, keeping the pump operating throughout long shifts, day or night.

• DOT-Ready Single-Axle Trailer: Highway-legal trailer ensures fast, simple deployment; 2-inch ball hitch and integrated lighting/safety equipment.

• Large, Tool-Free Clean-Out: Big debris access cover comes off in seconds without tools, so solid blockages can be fixed fast and productivity maximized.

• Wear-Resistant Construction: Industrial-grade cast iron pump body, heavy-duty stainless steel wear plate, and tungsten-carbide oil-lubricated seal survive harsh, abrasive slurry after slurry.

• Lifting Bale: Allows safe, easy crane, forklift, or flatbed loading by one person.

Technical Specifications

Professional Benefits & Performance

• Rapid Water Movement: Easily clears pits, trenches, flooded streets, job sites, sewer lines, or ponds with minimal labor, reducing project and emergency response times.

• Reliable Continuous Duty: 24HP, four-cylinder diesel engine, triple fuel filtration, and robust construction guarantee all-day and overnight operation—even in the dirtiest water, on minimal maintenance.

• Downtime Reduction: Field-friendly cleanout, LOFA controls, and rugged wear components keep the MQ62TKT online longer, with less labor and fewer calls for backup or service.

• Jobsite Flexibility: Move water uphill, across long hose distances, through rocky fills, or from storm sewer grates into retention—empowering crews in critical and routine jobs alike.

Common Applications

• Municipal Dewatering: Storm drain, floodwater, and public works bypass pumping for city utility crews and emergency response.

• Sewage & Wastewater Bypass: Lifts trash-laden water around critical sections during sewer main repairs and utility work.

• Large-Scale Construction: Dewater deep utility pits, building footings, infrastructure excavations, or pipeline projects.

• Disaster & Flood Relief: Essential for FEMA teams, contractors, and rapid-response groups managing serious flooding or broken mains.

• Rental Fleets: Popular at equipment rental centers due to its ease of use, high reliability, and low wear costs.

• Agriculture/Industrial: Keeps ponds, containment pits, and drainage ditches flowing, even when full of debris, mud, and field runoff.

User Reviews & Industry Feedback

• Jobsite Favorite: Contractors and municipal crews appreciate the MQ62TKT’s consistent delivery on GPM, true solids handling, and robust construction that lasts for years even in 24/7 fleet use.

• Value: Operators see its tool-free maintenance and control panel as an asset, cutting service downtime, labor, and field mistakes.

• Dependable Engine: The Kohler diesel (Tier 4 Final) is praised for quiet power, low emissions, and multi-year service life.

• Ease of Use: Setup, priming, and daily checks are simple and fast, making it a rental fleet and disaster team standby.

• Durable: Reviews consistently note the MQ62TKT stands up to repeated floods, bypass jobs, and punishing construction environments with minimal wear.

Maintenance & Operation Tips

• Check fluids, hoses, and seals daily—especially before long jobs or overnight runs.

• Always wet-prime the pump housing; fill with water to avoid dry-run damage and ensure fast priming.

• Clean out impeller and chamber after handling sediment-rich, abrasive, or trash-heavy flows.

• Inspect trailer connections, lights, and tires before towing to stay DOT compliant.

• Replace wear parts (impeller, wear plate, seals) as specified to maximize uptime and flow.
