Diaphragm Pump Wheeled Trolley Kit

Service: Versa-matic! Air Pump Portability Kit

Using a heavy two-inch diaphragm pump on site can present several practical challenges, particularly around manual handling and mobility. These pumps are often awkwardly shaped, bulky, and heavy, making them difficult to lift, carry, or reposition safely. Repeated manual handling increases the risk of strains, back injuries, and fatigue, while dragging or carrying the pump across uneven or muddy ground can damage equipment, slow down work, and create additional safety hazards.

Using a purpose-built trolley with wheels to transport the pump significantly reduces these issues. A wheeled trolley allows the pump to be moved quickly and smoothly across the site with minimal physical effort, improving efficiency and reducing downtime. It also lowers the risk of manual handling injuries, helps maintain better control of the equipment, and protects the pump from impact damage. A trolley improves safety, productivity, and ease of use when working with heavy diaphragm pumps on site.

If you are interested in more information regarding portability trolleys for your transfer fleet or need ancillary pump transfer tooling give us a call and let us help you solve the problem.

Effective solutions to disinfecting large areas

Cleaning, Sanitizing and Disinfecting are some of the essential activities of any healthy society, preventing spread of infectious diseases. Sanitizers reduce micro organisms on a surface, to a level considered safe by public health standards, whereas disinfectants kill bacteria, viruses and fungi on a surface. Air Pumping along with Samoa, leaders in pumping spraying systems & manufactures of specialty pumps for spraying these liquid solutions at a high pressure with less fluid consumption, have put together some packages to help keep you safe whilst still completing you daily work tasks. These spray units allow coverage on large surfaces in minimal time.

Fellow pumpers and pumpees,

We are working to keep orders fulfilled. We have extensive stocks of pumps and parts and are as always ready to help in whatever way we can. Delivery times and schedules may be subject to variations based on restrictions faced in both the UK and Worldwide. These issues will naturally spread to our suppliers also.

While standard UK next day deliveries are still currently being achieved, the following changes have been brought in place by our carriers:

Effective immediately and until further notice, in order to support UPS operations during the outbreak, the commit times for all domestic, transborder and worldwide Express and Express Saver services have been relaxed in Europe as noted below:

• Express: 10.30am to 12noon
• Express Saver: 12noon to 14:00pm
• Express Saturday (DE & UK only): 12noon to 14:00pm

In order to protect both employees and customers as much as possible, UPS drivers will not always be handing over the hand-held devices to customers to capture electronic signatures. If the receiver does not want to touch the scanner to sign, please be aware signatures and POD's may not show as normal. We are awaiting further information from UPS on this but please be understanding with the POD's you receive.

We appreciate your understanding in these matters and will be endeavouring to continue offering our services to our valued customers as long as the road to the office is passable!

Reliance and Safety

When you purchase a pump they are often delivered in various different finishes depending on the type of construction you have chosen to purchase. At times some pumps are bare metal and in other instances units can be supplied in manufacturer specified colours. This does not always fit the scope of tender, or may not be what you envisaged for your site installation. Bare metal can start to look aged or stain whilst clashing colours can turn a tidy install into a visual nightmare. Perhaps you would just like to colour code your pump lines to give a visual representation of what each pump is moving to ease operators jobs?

Colour co-ordinating your install

Fine tuning your install to suit the demands of your site can make your workflow much smoother, which is why we offer spraying and powder coating options on all of our double diaphragm pumps. We can have your pumps prepared in any manner of colours and coatings to ensure the longetivity of your process install. Not only that we can offer bespoke frames and trolleys for all our units, painted in the same high quality finish. Why make the job more difficult when simplicity is on offer?

Air Pumping Ltd. bid's a fond farewell to John Lee

Air Pumping's long standing engineer John Lee has decided to take his retirement at an undisclosed age far beyond what was called for. John has worked with us for over 30 years starting at our first premises in East Ham, London. Staying with the company, he worked in helping grow Air Pumping from a small local business into an internationally known double diaphragm pump one stop shop.

John will be sorely missed in many ways, we are sad to see him leave both personally and as a company, although he will be moving to warmer pastures to enjoy the fruits of many years of graft and toil. We wish him all the best in his new endeavours and look forward to him enjoying his well earnt retirement.

Big thanks from all at Air Pumping Ltd.

Onwards with 2019! Welcome to the new year fellow pumpers.
