FAQs
Boom Pumps are the preferred machines for large projects, particularly when concrete placement is required in challenging and inaccessible areas. These units come in a variety of types and sizes, measured in meters, to cater to the specific demands of each construction job.
Boom Pumps: Boom pumps are equipped with a robotic arm (boom) that is mounted on a truck. The boom can be extended and maneuvered to reach various heights and distances, making it ideal for large-scale construction projects or projects with hard-to-reach areas. Boom pumps are commonly used for high-rise buildings, bridges, and large infrastructure projects.
Line Pumps: Line pumps, also known as trailer-mounted concrete pumps, are smaller and more portable compared to boom pumps. They use flexible hoses to deliver concrete to the desired location. Line pumps are suitable for smaller construction projects, residential buildings, and projects with limited access. They are preferred for their ability to navigate through tight spaces and deliver concrete with precision.
The maximum distance that concrete can be pumped depends on various factors, including the type of concrete pump, the diameter and length of the pipeline, the concrete mix design, and the properties of the concrete being pumped.
For Boom Pumps, the maximum vertical reach can range from around 50 meters (approximately 164 feet) to over 70 meters (approximately 230 feet), while the maximum horizontal reach can extend from around 40 meters (approximately 131 feet) to over 60 meters (approximately 197 feet).
Line Pumps, on the other hand, typically have a maximum pumping distance that ranges from around 90 meters (approximately 295 feet) to over 150 meters (approximately 492 feet) horizontally and vertically combined.
It’s important to note that these distances are approximate and may vary depending on the specific equipment and conditions of each construction site. Additionally, concrete pumping companies may have different capabilities, so it’s essential to consult with a professional concrete pumping service to determine the maximum pumping distance for your specific project.
Whether concrete pumping is better than pouring directly from a mixer truck depends on the specific requirements and constraints of the construction project. Both methods have their advantages and are suitable for different situations.
The lifespan of a concrete pump can vary depending on several factors, including the type and brand of the pump, the frequency of use, the maintenance and care it receives, and the operating conditions.
Generally, well-maintained and regularly serviced concrete pumps can last anywhere from 10 to 15 years or more. However, some high-quality pumps that receive exceptional care and are operated in less demanding conditions may last even longer.
