Boom Pump
This type of concrete pump is designed for high-rise buildings and tricky terrains, the boom pump utilizes a hydraulic arm extending from the truck to efficiently deliver concrete to specific locations. Its ability to reach elevated grounds sets it apart.
Advantages of Concrete Pumping
Concrete pumping brings several benefits to your project, including:
Lower costs compared to traditional methods.
More control over the amount of concrete used.
Logistics: Reduced scheduling complexities.
Modern Construction: Revolutionising concrete construction.
Labour Savings: Up to 50% compared to truck delivery.
What Concrete Pumps sizes are there?
The size of a concrete pump plays a crucial role in your project’s cost. Choosing the right size is important to keep within budgets. Smaller pumps, like our mini concrete pump, come with a fully trained operator. The smaller size of the concrete pump offers more manoeuvrability and gains access to awkward or confined areas. These are perfect for projects with space constraints or projects where spaces are hard to access.
A Trailer-Mounted Concrete Pumps Suit Which Projects?
If your construction project needs a more flexible and mobile concrete service option. A trailer-mounted concrete pumps is an excellent choice. This type of concrete pump is easy to transport and quick to setup. Ideal for projects with awkward locations or challenging access. Hire services for trailer-mounted concrete pumps are an affordable option for temporary construction jobs or short-term projects.
Which Jobs for a Concrete Line Pump?
Concrete line pumps play a critical role in the efficient transfer of concrete. The pump line, uses flexible or steel hoses, to precisely move and place the concrete. This offers accuracy and efficiency compared to traditional on site shovelling.
Which Concrete Pump For My Project?
Concrete pumps are not all the same. They come in different types, each designed for a specific construction job. For example, a compact concrete pump is known for its small footprint and high manoeuvrability, making it particularly suitable for projects with limited space, such as residential constructions in tight urban areas. A boom pump, on the other hand, uses a hydraulic arm to reach high-rise buildings and precisely place the concrete, making it great for large-scale projects with access issues.
