What is HYTRANS?
HYTRANS is a globally recognized manufacturer of high-quality flood pumps and mobile water supply systems for emergencies like floods and fire breakouts. The company was founded in 1964 and is based in the Netherlands.
Why HYTRANS Mobile High Volume Flood Pumps?
These are hydraulically driven submersible pumps that can transport large volumes of water over long distances with high efficiency and speed. They are different from traditional pumps because they use large-diameter hydraulic hoses and can access water sources easily, even in rugged terrain.
Are These Pumps Only for Managing Floods?
HYTRANS mobile flood pumps are also used worldwide to tackle large-scale fire breakouts. The comprehensive HYTRANS Fire Suppression System is preferred by firefighters because of its high capacity and resource-efficiency.
Who Can Use HYTRANS Mobile Flood Pumps?
First responders like fire brigades, disaster relief teams, and emergency services, as well as local governments and water utilities can benefit from HYTRANS mobile pumps. They are also valuable for industries like petrochemicals that are prone to hazards.
How Do HYTRANS Flood Pumps Work?
The HYTRANS system is a hooklift, skid-based solution for fast deployment and recovery. It uses large-diameter, flexible rubber hoses (150mm–300mm) stored in special bins on the truck, which can be deployed at speeds of 20–30 km/h. The submersible pump transports water through these hoses at high speed. Once the task is over, the auto hose recovery system retrieves the hose and stores them, ensuring they are ready for the next use.
How is the HYTRANS Mobile Flood Pump Used in Floods?
HYTRANS mobile high volume pumps are a versatile resource and can be used in different ways.
- Before Floods: Use it to control rising water levels by redirecting water from rivers and reservoirs and protecting properties and infrastructure.
- During Floods: Dewater inundated areas where flood water won’t recede quickly.
- After Floods: Use the HYTRANS pumps for dewatering as well as for supplying clean water to communities in need!
Can You Deploy HYTRANS Flood Pumps in Remote Areas?
Absolutely. HYTRANS mobile flood pumps utilize the HydroSub Power Pack – diesel-powered engines, so you don’t need electricity for operation. They are great for remote or off-grid areas.
What is The Water Supply Capacity of A HYTRANS System for Flood Response?
HYTRANS systems provide water at a starting rate of 1,500 liters per minute, with a range of pump sizes to accommodate various flood control needs:
- HydroSub 60 – 1,500 L/min
- HydroSub 150 – 3,500 L/min
- HydroSub 250 – 8,000 L/min
- HydroSub 550 – 14,000 L/min
- HydroSub 900 – 24,000 L/min
- HydroSub 1200 – 30,000 L/min

Why Use a Large-Diameter Rubber Hose?
These large hoses increase water flow and speed, allowing us to quickly transport water over long distances. They are also durable enough to withstand harsh environmental conditions and flexible enough to be laid along rocky areas and steep inclines. You can get HYTRANS large-diameter rubber hose ranging from 4” to 12”.
What Are HYTRANS Squeeze Ramps?
HYTRANS squeeze ramps enable vehicles to pass over large water hoses laid across roadways without damaging them. The sturdy ramps support even heavy vehicles, preventing traffic disruptions or road blockages during hose deployment.
Can HYTRANS Mobile Pumps Get Clogged from Debris?
The large diameter hoses can handle water with some level of debris. But, we recommend regular maintenance and cleaning of the pump components to keep the system in good condition.
Can The HYTRANS Mobile Pumps Be Used in Both Freshwater And Saltwater Environments?
Yes! In addition to freshwater, our mobile high-volume pumps can handle saltwater, chemically polluted water, mud, and dirt without any issue. It can operate in shallow water with no risk of failure due to cavitation. If necessary, you can use it together with a mobile desalination or mobile water treatment plant.
How Often Should HYTRANS Mobile Flood Pumps Be Maintained?
Clean and store the system after each use for optimal performance. We recommend checking the hydraulic system, inspecting hoses, and servicing the diesel engine, such as changing oil and filters.
