    This 110V, 32A Electric Shoring Pump (for use with Shoring Fluid) is intended for use on sites where conventional combustion engine pumps are not permitted. ALWAYS CHECK SUITABILITY OF THIS PUMP for the environment in which you are working.

    This unit requires a minimum power supply of a 7kVA (32A) generator which can be obtained from Brandon Hire Station (0345 604 5337).

    The pump can also be used in conjunction with the Instagrid Mobile Power Supply. For details on use of the Instagrid, see the relevant user guide which can be downloaded from the Groundforce Technical Library.

    110V Electric Shoring Pumps are intended for use with larger double acting (expanding and retracting) equipment such as hydraulic struts where large fluid volumes are involved. They are also ideal for the installation of multiple braces where the quick release hose connections speed up the installation process. The motor is rated at IP54, so shower proof only: do not submerge or power wash. Note: Always verify the pump's suitability for your specific work environment.

FAQs

What is an Electric Motorised Shoring Pump?

110V Electric Shoring Pumps are intended for use with larger double acting (expanding and retracting) equipment such as hydraulic struts where large fluid volumes are involved.


Why use an Electric Motorised Shoring Pump?

Electric Shoring Pumps are intended for use on sites where conventional combustion engine pumps are not permitted due to risk of spark / fire hazard etc. (such as in oil refineries) 


What powers Electric Motorised Shoring Pumps?

They are powered by a 110V, 32A Electric motor which drives the shoring fluid pump. Note: This unit requires a minimum power supply of 7kVA (32A) generator which can be obtained from Brandon Hire Station (0345 604 5337)


What is the fluid that causes the hydraulic ram to expand an retract?

Electric Shoring Pumps use a shoring fluid called ‘Houghto Safe SF 25 B’ which is supplied in 5 litre containers.


What other fluids are used?

As well as shoring fluid, the pump should be filled with oil - SAE 80 W90.


How is the hydraulic connection made from the Electric Shoring Pump to the struts / braces?

Two hydraulic hoses are connected from the electric pump to the hydraulic ram connection on the strut or brace (one to expand, one to retract). The connection is made using quick release hose connections.


Are there any common issues with Electric Motorised Shoring Pumps?

It is important to note that the pump will not run if levels of shoring fluid are too low. See user guide for further details.


Is there a video available that demonstrates Electric Motorised Shoring Pumps?

A 3D animation showing ‘typical’ use of a Motorised Shoring Pump is available to watch now on our YouTube channel.


Do Groundforce offer training courses?

Groundforce Training Services offer industry leading accredited safety training primarily for those working in utilities, construction and civil engineering. From short duration health and safety awareness to more complex or specialist safety consultancy solutions.


Is a user guide available for Electric Motorised Shoring Pumps?

Yes, a user guide will be provided with every hire and can be requested from Groundforce or can be downloaded from the Groundforce Shorco section of the Groundforce website. A user guide for Electric Motorised Shoring Pumps is also available below to download as a PDF .

110V Electric Shoring Pump (Hydraulic Oil)

110V Electric Shoring Pump (Hydraulic Oil)

This 110V, 32A Electric Shoring Pump is designed to install Groundforce’s hydraulic props and braces using hydraulic oil to expand and retract the rams. It is ideal for sites where combustion engine pumps are restricted or traditional power is not available. Perfect for larger, double-acting equipment requiring high fluid volumes, it also excels at installing multiple braces thanks to its quick-release hose connections. The IP54-rated motor makes it totally weatherproof. It requires a 7kVA (32A) power supply and is compatible with Groundforce’s Instagrid Power Pack or a conventional generator. For an eco-friendly, fully electric operation, pair it with the Instagrid Mobile Power Supply.

Hydraulic Pumps

Hydraulic Pumps

Manual Shoring Pumps provide the means to hydraulically expand, pressurise and retract Groundforce hydraulically operated shoring equipment. Hand pumps are generally recommended for use with smaller equipment where the volume of fluid within the internal rams is relatively small. For larger bracing frames and struts, motorised pumps are recommended.
