Has anyone used this pump with wheels?
Thread Content
I am planning to buy a self-priming pump, like the one in the picture, with 4 wheels at the bottom. The design features hose connections for both the inlet and outlet during operation. Has anyone used a self-priming pump with wheels like this? I’m currently concerned about vibration issues, so please share your experiences
I’ve seen portable ones, but I’ve never seen any with wheels.
It feels like the vibration is too strong, causing the pump body to move around, which isn’t good
It’s my first time seeing this too; the supplier showed it to me, and I was shocked
I think it should be possible; perhaps when the pump is not in use, the place where it is stored isn’t too far from the location where it is used.
I forgot to mention that this pump has a flow rate of 6 m3/h and a head of 50 m; it belongs to the category of pumps with low flow rate but high head

It can be used, but when in use the wheels need to be blocked off with sleepers or channel steel or something similar

Such portable pumps are quite common; when in use, the base can be raised so that the wheels are suspended in the air, or it can be simply fixed, and that’s no problem. These pumps aren’t meant to run for long periods of time and are used temporarily, so some vibration isn’t a concern. I’ve also seen pumps whose bases are designed in the form of trailers – with two wheels at the back closer to the center of gravity, and two foldable legs at the front. They can be attached to the back of a car and used as trailers, taken on roads, and equipped with a contact number for use in different locations
