Concrete is an excellent construction material but it's not always the easiest to handle. Dumping the concrete mix from a truck directly into a form using chutes, wheelbarrows, buckets, or other placing devices can be a long slow process that leaves a finished product that is less than acceptable.

For large flat areas like roads, sidewalks, paths, and parking areas, paving machines are the most economic and efficient way to do the job. Pumping concrete is probably the way to go for many other applications. It's a very efficient and reliable means of placing concrete and very economical as well.

In many of today's applications a concrete pump is the only way of placing concrete where it's needed such as a high-rise building, or large slabs where the mixer truck chutes can't reach. Other times, the ease and speed of pumping concrete makes it the most economical and efficient way to put the mix in place.

It is a common sight to see concrete pumps being used in a large-scale commercial construction projects. However, these cutting-edge concrete pumping machines are equally effective and economical for small to medium sized construction projects, regardless if it a commercial or residential construction project.

There are mainly two types of concrete pumps – boom pumps and line pumps. Both have specific applications. From small trailer-mounted pumps to powerful stationary pumps and the longest truck-mounted boom pumps, concrete pumpers have a wide variety of choices for countless applications including: High-Rise Buildings, Mid-Rise Buildings, Residential Pours, Light Commercial, Industrial, Bridge Decks, Post Tension Slabs, Tunneling, Pools/Shotcreting, Patios, Mat Pours, Footings, Indoor Pours, and Slope Paving etc.

Concrete pumps make for an excellent addition to any line-up of construction equipment.

They come with many advantages that are hard to ignore. Distinct advantages that can positively impact a project's bottom line include time and labour savings, placing accuracy, increased profits, improved product, improved scheduling, reduced site preparation, employee satisfaction, enhanced quality control, and concrete placing versatility. The many cost-saving benefits have made concrete pumping a popular, economical and efficient way of handling and placing concrete.

A good concrete pump must have a higher concrete pouring output, should be able to bear maximum concrete pressure, should automatically ensure lower power consumption, should have a flawless valve system, should have leak proof joints and should be dirt resistant. In simplest terms, a good concrete pump must deliver results. For that, selection of the right pump has to be doubly ensured. Concrete pump satisfying all requirements are now available but a wrong selection may erase all the advantages of concrete pumps.
