Water – while it’s essential for dust suppression and processing, if uncontrolled, it can grind productivity to a halt.

Pinnacle Hire offers a comprehensive suite of rental solutions to tackle any dewatering or dredging challenge a quarry could face. Recently, the company delivered advanced dewatering for a client in the Northern Territory.

Pinnacle Hire kept the customer’s quarry on schedule and productive by renting out high-volume 6” dewatering pumps, the SPP Q150 model, to ensure efficient pit dewatering.

The SPP Q150 offers a range of features ideal for quarry environments.

The rugged pump is built to last, housed on a two-wheel road trailer for easy transport and features a fully enclosed design for noise reduction and security. It can handle tough jobs, passing solids up to 65mm in diameter and 80mm long.

Double mechanical seals allow the pump to run dry and ensure extended life, while efficient “Smartprime” technology optimises performance and saves on fuel.

Pinnacle Hire’s portfolio includes diesel and electric centrifugal pumps in sizes ranging from 4” to 12”, ideal for various applications.

If a quarry needs to handle tough, abrasive materials, Pinnacle Hire can provide its vortex solids handling pumps, which are built for the harshest mining environments.

The company’s high-head dewatering and transfer pumps provide extra muscle for those hard-to-reach areas or high-pressure dewatering needs.

Pinnacle Hire goes beyond just pumps. It offers complete bore packages for efficient water extraction from depths exceeding 200m.

Its pump and standpipe solutions (available in 4” to 12” configurations) ensure effective water distribution throughout a quarry.  To keep things running smoothly, Pinnacle Hire provides full-service support, including installation and remote telemetry monitoring –ensuring the dewatering system is operating optimally.

For businesses looking to delve into the world of hydro mining, Pinnacle Hire offers more than equipment—it can also offer expertise.

The company’s team can provide customised hydro-mining packages, including setup and operational guidance, to ensure quarries get the most out of this efficient extraction method.

Pinnacle Hire’s remote-controlled dredge is a game-changer for those battling thick sediment or needing to move large volumes of material underwater.

Available in three models with varying capacities (120-700 m³/h), heads (16-72m), and solids handling capabilities (35-90 mm), this adaptable solution tackles everything from general-purpose dredging to high-capacity and high-head tasks.

Pinnacle Hire’s extensive rental inventory, expert support, and proven track record make it an ideal partner for keeping a quarry flowing smoothly. •
