On 18 April, President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a nationwide state of catastrophe. As repairs obtained underway, one of many first issues many flooded companies faced was to do away with the water and debris of their factories or warehouse premises. The Werner Pumps rental unit, a mixture jetting and vacuum truck, was put to good use to assist with the clean-up operations.
“We rented our unit to two corporations for a quantity of weeks at a time to assist them in servicing their clients’ in Durban and the encircling areas after the horrific flooding,” says Sebastian Werner, Managing Director at Werner Pumps. “It’s the primary time that the unit has been used for catastrophe restoration efforts after flooding. It was good to be able to help indirectly by sending the mix truck from our head offices in Springs right down to our KwaZulu-Natal purchasers to assist. It must have carried out a good job as a end result of one of the companies has now ordered one from us to help with their ongoing pollution management and industrial clean-up operations.”
The rental unit is a mix truck that offers state-of-the-art hydraulically operated jetting and vacuum performance. It’s out there by way of Werner Water Recycling, the rental division (founded in 2013) of Werner Pumps, the main producer of high-pressure jetting gear in South Africa.

“It’s best for every thing from sewer and stormwater cleaning and maintenance, to sludge and slurry elimination, separator cleansing, contaminated liquid recovery, recovering solids, and cleaning surfaces,” says Werner. “In the wake of a disaster, it may be used to scrub up standing water or to wash smoke-damaged amenities. We’ve found there’s demand for the unit from municipalities and contractors to bridge a gap when they’re waiting on a unit, or for finances to turn into out there, and for people who need it for a selected time-bound software.”
