In the UK alone, there are currently around 1,300 working quarries. The quarrying industry needs incredibly high-performing equipment that can withstand the toughest environments. Quarrying is the process used to procure rock, sand, gravel and other minerals from the earth to utilise them in making materials for construction or other uses. It's vital to choose the best pump to use when completing this work, and high-quality pumps are at the core of our product range. We have compiled the top 3 pump brands we recommend for the mining and quarrying industry.
