Lifting Chains by Goodwin Pumps India Private Limited

Custom made lifting chains are recommended so the slurry pump is lifted from a single point. This means that the pump remains vertical at all times, and is not lifted on an angle, which can happen on site if only one of the lifting points is used. By keeping the pump vertical oil is kept in the correct areas to allow maximum lubrication and heat dissipation, maximizing bearing life and motor cooling. Additionally when starting the pump when it is submerged in settled slurry – it allows the pump to ‘kick’ as described in the hose accessories section.

Goodwin Part No: G355/2-10Z-SA0

For lifting our submersible slurry pumps we recommend that a hoist with a minimum rating of 1.5 tonnes is used, because from our experience up to 1.5 tonnes lifting force is can be required to break the pump free of the settled slurry, which is more than would be expected during normal operation as there is only the weight of the pump and pipe work to be considered.

The chain unit is supplied with two shackles to couple it directly to the Goodwin pump.
