If all else fails, they sell plastic collector boxes with built in
pumps, that would do what you want. Essentially an above-the-floor
sump pit. I've been planning to buy one for my basement to make the
abandoned slop sink usable, and reduce the distance my washer has to
pump uphill. (Floor drains and old washer standpipe to graywater
drywell have failed, and would cost a fortune to fix. Washer is
jammed into the collector for the septic tank, along with the drain
lines for furnace and water softener.)

I googled 'plastic collector boxes with built in pumps", but nothing
came up..
Do you know what they are called, or where they can be bought ?

General category is 'ejector pump'.

Here is one with a built-in box- I know there are others out there,
because I found them on previous searches, but I can't remember the
proper name for them either. 'Sink drain pump' produced some hits as well.

As much as I want to proceed with this project here, it isn't even in
the top half of the list of stuff this place needs... :^(
