Concrete pumps are an efficient, reliable and economical means of placing concrete. Placing-booms transfer fluid concrete to locations not readily accessible otherwise such as where the chutes of a concrete pump truck can’t reach the desired location of a high-rise building or in a tunnel. The ease and speed of pumping concrete also makes it a more economical method of concrete placement.
Concrete pump trucks are heavy-duty construction equipment for placing concrete. The primary concern when utilising a concrete pump truck during a pumped concrete pour is the safe positioning of the truck where the boom can reach the concrete placement site. Concrete pumps and boom can only be used when the conditions are entirely safe. Prior to extending the boom on a new job site the following checks need to be in place:

there are no over hanging power lines,
no obstructions such as cranes, scaffolding or buildings,
the concrete pump truck is firmly stabilised.
