Description
Overview
This horizontal honey sucker trailer carries a single 2000 L horizontal tank with a 6.5 HP petrol engine and a 3 inch trash pump on a braked trailer chassis. It empties septic tanks, conservancy tanks and pit toilets at up to about 50,000 L/h, so one trip clears several household tanks.
One long tank is easier to wash out than two IBCs. If you prefer replaceable IBCs, see the 2000 L twin IBC honey sucker trailer. For the biggest trailer we build, step up to the 2500 L double-axle honey sucker trailer.
Key features
- Braked trailer chassis
- 3 inch centrifugal trash pump moving about 50,000 L/h at around 2.5 bar
- 6.5 HP petrol engine
- Single 2000 L horizontal tank with a low profile
- Easy to wash out at the end of a shift
- Primes with a little water, then lifts sludge with no vacuum system to maintain
Where it works
A horizontal honey sucker trailer of this size suits district municipalities in Limpopo and KZN that run their own sanitation crews, and private contractors working the townships and peri-urban areas around Polokwane, Pietermaritzburg and Mthatha. It is also used at mine hostels and labour camps with large septic systems.
See all trailers and skids in our honey suckers range. Wear gloves, boots and eye protection on every job, and hose down with disinfectant before you drive off.

Questions about this product
What do I need to tow it?
Full, the trailer weighs roughly 2,606 kg, since effluent is about a kilogram per litre. Check that your bakkie or tractor is rated to tow that with a braked trailer, and that your licence covers the combination. Ask us to confirm the axle layout and rating for this chassis. Register and license the trailer before it goes on a public road.
How does it suck without a vacuum pump?
A 3 inch trash pump does the work. Once its casing is primed with water, the impeller creates enough suction to lift waste through the hose, and it is built to pass sludge and small solids that would choke an ordinary water pump. Reverse the hoses at the disposal point to empty the tank.
How do I clean the pump after a job?
Pump a few hundred litres of clean water through the suction hose and pump straight after use, before sludge dries in the casing. Open the clean-out on the pump if it has one and check the impeller for rags. Rinse the filter, then store the hoses drained and out of the sun.
How much is delivery to Pietermaritzburg?
Nothing. At R71,810.55 VAT incl. this unit is over our R20,000 free-delivery mark on its own, so we bring it to Pietermaritzburg at no charge. It ships at 606 kg on a Kamano truck from Polokwane and normally arrives in 1 to 3 days. Tell us about any tricky access road when you order.
