Summary: Pumping concrete
to high places
Concrete pumps are specialized machines used to
transfer liquid concrete to construction sites, especially to locations that
are difficult to access with traditional concrete trucks. These machines
overcome obstacles like height, distance, and obstructions, allowing for
efficient and precise concrete placement.
Function: Concrete pumps use a powerful pump to move concrete through pipes or hoses. This enables concrete to be delivered to elevated areas, deep excavations, or congested spaces where direct truck access is limited.
Types:
Truck-mounted boom pumps: These have
a long, articulated boom that can reach over or around obstacles to place
concrete. They are highly mobile and versatile.
Trailer-mounted line pumps:** These are
smaller and more portable, pumping concrete through hoses. They are suitable
for smaller jobs or areas with limited access.
Applications: Concrete pumps are essential for:
* High-rise construction
* Bridge construction
* Tunnel construction
* Foundations in tight urban areas
* Any situation where direct truck access is restricted
