Types of Concrete Pumps

There are two types of concrete pumps that are used across construction projects: ground pumps and boom pumps. They each offer different benefits and suit different sites.

Ground Line Pump

These are hydraulic pumps that are mounted on to a truck. Using various connected steel pipes and hoses, the concrete is pumped at speed to a precise location. These pumps can reach up to 150m long, so even the most difficult of access routes can be overcome and the concrete can be delivered swiftly.
Features:

• Ground line pumps transport concrete at around 1m3 per minute.
• Ground line pumps come with 50 meters of line as standard, but are capable of pumping over 150 meters along the ground.
• Perfect solution for difficult to access areas.
• We offer both steel and flexi pipes.
• Flexi pipes allow us to pour round corners with ease.
• Available to hire without our concrete on a 4-5 hour period.
• Our drivers will set up the line and pack it back down once finished.

Boom Pump

Boom pumps are designed for sites where even a ground pump can’t access the required location. Boom pumps can reach up and over the houses, pumping the concrete up through the hydraulic arm and back down into the exact spot where it’s required, thanks to their reach of up to 72m as well as possible extensions.

Boom pumps can ensure that no location is off limits for the pumping of concrete.

Features:

• Our boom pumps transport concrete at around 1m3 per minute.
• The hydraulic arm allows us to lift and place concrete pipes in hard-to-reach areas.
• The pumps can go up stairs, over walls, fences and even certain buildings.
• They can be used for domestic and commercial jobs alike.
• Boom pumps come in various sizes ranging from 20 metres to 72 metres.
• The speed and efficiency saves time, money and labour.
• A highly skilled boom operator comes as standard to ensure quick yet skillful work.
