Found just inside a storage building. No lid on the manhole but someone thought enough to put some road steel over it. Anyone have a clue?

Sump w/ pump?
Sewage grinder pump, looks like an older Zoeller or Liberty model.

You mean they ??grind up? the Brown Darters that try to swim by? Cripes, what??s in ??em? ?????ÿ
Back in the days when every automotive engine had a fan on the front of it my wife learned the equivalent of why a grinder is needed ahead of a pump in a pressure sewer line.?ÿ Auto fans are great for moving air from one side of the fan blades to the other side.?ÿ They don't work with a hoot at moving a tom cat in similar fashion.
It works best if the material reaching the pump is of a size to be effectively pumped and not completely clog and/or destroy it.?ÿ Adult diapers being one of the most common items needing destroying prior to reaching the impeller of the pump in a sewer system.
My brother and I once had the "pleasure" of cleaning up a neighbor's cat out of the fan shroud on a '58 Chevy one cold morning.?ÿ And this was in the days before there was a car-wash on every corner.?ÿ
I don't know if I'd use the word grind however...hack might be a better choice.?ÿ
