The compact 0.48kW dewatering pump for light site drainage.
The Tsurumi LB480 is the smallest, lightest model in Tsurumi's hire-industry-standard LB Series – ideal where you need reliable dewatering without the bulk. Weighing just 10.4kg, it's the go-to choice for light site drainage, basement and excavation pump-out, and groundwater control.
The LB480 uses Tsurumi's proven semi-vortex chromium-iron impeller, a double silicon-carbide mechanical seal, and the oil-lifter system that lubricates the seal in any operating position. Rubber and urethane components resist abrasion from sand, silt and suspended solids, while the top-discharge design improves motor cooling for extended running in seepage and low-water conditions.
Available as a manual pump, or automatic with your choice of switch:
Dimensions (manual version): ø187 x 285mm | Weight: 10.4kg
Note: automatic float-switch models are larger as the float is not included in these dimensions.
Backed by a 3-year Tsurumi manufacturer's warranty.

Manual Pump - A pump that does not have a float control or pressure switch to start and stop. It will require an operator to control it.
Automatic Pump - A pump that has a float control or pressure switch to start and stop without an operator.
A float switch is a level controller that has a buoyant, water-tight device that lies
on a liquid, actuating a micro-switch when the level rises or falls, turning a pump on or off.
Layflat hose is very affordable but can kink. Depending on your use, you may be better using a reinforced suction delivery hose for your needs.
Suction delivery hose is ideal for pumping up stairs or over obstacles.
Jonathan Martin explains the differences to help you choose which hose is best for your scenario.
