Toolkwip Pumps provides quarries with the tools they need to handle much more than just pumps.
Water plays an important part in a quarry, but when there is too much, that is when the headaches start.
Most quarries are pits that extend below the water table, meaning water will begin to pool and interrupt the quarrying process.
The solution to this problem is pumping, and since 1993, Toolkwip pumps have provided the quarry industry with the tools needed to handle this important task.
The company has a wide range of high-quality industrial pumps and equipment, with a focus on customer service.
It can provide everything from initial consultations and advice regarding the most suitable equipment for site requirements, through to installation, ongoing technical support, and the provision of service technicians for regular pump maintenance.
The family-owned and operated company is renowned for its ability to customise solutions to better meet clients’ needs.
Toolkwip’s dedicated team of industry experts boasts more than 30 years of collective industry knowledge and is committed to delivering superior service and support.
