S SERIES WIDEBASE

SUBMERSIBLE PUMPS

Open Pits and Quarries

Whether suspended above the soft, murky bottom of a cofferdam, or churning away deep
inside a strip mine or quarry, Gorman-Rupp Widebase submersible pumps tackle the big jobs.
Where large solids are not a problem, these versatile models offer high-head, high-volume
operation and stand up to the abuses of the worst conditions. Whatever the application –
general construction, strip mining, tunnel work or general purpose – Gorman-Rupp Widebase
pumps are built to operate quietly, effectively and safely.
The wide, solid base helps prevent pumps from turning into the ground or pumping into a hole.
The rugged impeller provides many trouble-free years of service. The motor operates in an oil-
filled cavity, which is cooled by the water being pumped to prevent overheating. Double seals
provide solid protection against pump failure and ensure years of dependable service.

lubrication enables the pump to run dry without seal damage.
