The RELIABLE REL-TP3 Hydraulic Trash Pump
is lightweight, yet capable of moving high volumes
of water, and solids (sand slurries, gravel, and
sludge) up to 3 inches (75 mm) in diameter and
30% by volume.
The REL-TP3 pump is fully submersible, self
priming, and may be run dry, without damage to
the motor, bearings or impeller.These urethane
pumps have a history of pumping sand, gravel,
concrete, and even mortar slurries without issue.
The REL-TP3 is even able to pump petroleum
products without issue.
The urethane bowl and impeller are extremely
durable and light weight. Hard and sharp materials
bounce off instead of abrading the interior surfaces,
making this design last longer and perform better
than aluminum, iron and even steel pumps.
The high volume impeller is complimented by a
3” (75 mm) inlet and outlet to make the REL-TP3
one of the most productive pumps on the market.
This unit is capable of pumping over 450 gpm
(1,688 lpm) at a 10 ft. (2.54 m) head from any
2,000 psi (HTMA Type ll) hydraulic source using
only 9 gpm (34 lpm) of hydraulic flow.
The top cover is attached to the volute with
six large wing nuts making routine cleaning,
inspection and maintenance FAST & EASY.
The convenient Split Handles provides a well
balanced lift.
The REL-TP3 Trash Pump can be paired with the
REL-HPU-2000 Hydraulic Power Unit to make a
Powerful Portable Combo for high volume trash
pump and dewatering applications.

replaceable polyethylene wear plates, a self
lubricating H/D hydraulic motor, and an abrasion
resistant cast iron impeller to extend pump life.
The convenient Split Grip Handle provides
a well balanced lift and protection for the
hydraulic components.
Pair the REL-TP4 Trash Pump with the
REL-HPU-2000 Hydraulic Power Unit to make

HOSES AND FITTINGS
There exists the potential for shock in using anything other than
certifi ed non-conductive hoses and hydraulic oil with dielectric
properties, when using system components near energized electrical
lines. Failure to recognize these conditions could cause electrocution.
Hoses and fittings used with this tool must comply with S.A.E. J1273 which
covers recommended practice for selection, installation, and maintenance of hose and
