What Type of Hydraulic Sand & Slurry Pump Do I Need?

Choose Hauler when the job requires hydraulic submersible sand and slurry pumping. Hauler is the right fit when the pump will operate underwater or inside the material source and the site uses a hydraulic power unit, excavator hydraulics or remote hydraulic equipment. Choose by discharge size, flow range, head requirement, solids handling, horsepower, material type, pipeline distance, hydraulic power source and production target.

Choose Payload instead when the application needs an electric submersible sand and slurry pump. Choose Growler cable-deployed dredge pumps when the pump must be lowered by cable for dredging settled material from a pond, lagoon, marina, reservoir, basin or pit. Choose Clifton for drainage and dewatering when the primary job is water removal rather than abrasive slurry pumping.

Hydraulic Power Requirements

Hauler pump selection should confirm the hydraulic power source before finalizing the pump size. The required hydraulic flow and pressure depend on the selected Hauler model, material type, solids size, operating depth, hose length, pipeline distance, target flow, total dynamic head and pump curve.

Use Hauler when a hydraulic power unit, excavator hydraulic system or remote hydraulic equipment can support the pump. Choose Payload when electric power, generator support or electric pump controls are the better fit for the site.

How to Choose the Right Hauler Size

Hauler 3-inch

Best when hydraulic slurry pumping is needed in a smaller, more controlled pumping footprint.

Hauler 4-inch

Best when the 3-inch model is too small but the job does not yet require 6-inch hydraulic slurry production.

Hauler 6-inch

Best for routine hydraulic sand and slurry projects where head, solids handling and production all matter.

Hauler 8-inch

Best when the job needs higher flow and hydraulic operation without moving to the largest Hauler platforms.

Hauler 10-inch

Best when 8-inch production is not enough but the project does not require 12-inch, 14-inch or 16-inch capacity.

Hauler 12-inch

Best when the system needs more flow, discharge capacity and solids passage than the 10-inch model.

Hauler 14-inch

Best when the project is driven by production volume, hydraulic power and a larger discharge pipeline.

Hauler 16-inch

Best when the project needs the largest Hauler discharge size and highest production range.

Not Sure Which Hauler Size You Need?

The right Hauler pump depends on the material, estimated solids size, target GPM, total dynamic head, pumping depth, discharge distance, hose or pipe size, deployment method and available hydraulic power. DAE Pumps can help confirm the correct Hauler size, hydraulic requirements, pump curve and supporting equipment before quoting.

Pump Curve and Hydraulic Sizing Support

A Hauler pump curve helps confirm how each pump should perform at the required flow and head. Use the pump curve to review expected flow, total dynamic head, discharge distance, material behavior, hydraulic power requirements and system conditions before final pump selection.

For final sizing, send DAE Pumps the material type, estimated solids size, target flow, required head, pumping depth, pipeline distance, discharge size, hydraulic power source, available hydraulic flow and pressure, deployment method and project location.

Design Advantages

Hydraulic Submersible Slurry Pumping

Hauler provides a hydraulic submersible option for projects that need abrasive slurry, sand, sludge, sediment or tailings moved from submerged or difficult material sources.

Multiple Pump Sizes

Hauler pumps are available in 3-inch, 4-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 14-inch and 16-inch sizes so customers can match the pump to the required flow, head, solids handling and discharge setup.

Up to 30% Solids

Hauler pumps can support up to 30% solids when properly selected for the application and operated within the correct system conditions.

Hydraulic Power Flexibility

Hauler can be paired with hydraulic power units, excavator hydraulics or other hydraulic equipment when electric power is not available or not preferred.

Strong Torque and Variable Speed Control

Hydraulic operation supports strong torque and speed control for changing slurry conditions and material behavior.

Optional Agitator or Water Jetting Ring

Agitation and water jetting options can help loosen material, improve material pickup and support more consistent slurry movement into the pump intake.

Abrasion-Resistant Construction

High-chrome and wear-resistant slurry-contact components support abrasive solids handling and help reduce downtime in demanding applications.

Serviceable Wear Components

Replaceable wear parts support serviceability and help reduce downtime when the pump is used in abrasive slurry service.
