Truck
mounted concrete pumps are those engineering products that are used to
supply concrete to places which are difficult to reach by other heavy
machines.
Mechanical Operations
Concrete Pumping Equipment required : concrete pump, heavy-duty pipe,
hose and other accessories. Concrete pumps can be mounted on any type of
diesel powered trucks. When pressure is applied to a column of fresh
concrete by the concrete pump it forces the concrete through a
lubricated pipe.
Advantages
The various advantages of truck concrete pumps are :
- With respect to other methods, pumping placement is faster.
- Concrete can be pumped even to difficult areas.
- Concrete pumping saves enough man power and energy.
- Concrete pumping is all weather operation.
- Concrete pumping is useful in the areas where space available
for construction equipment is limited.
- Pumping of concrete frees other heavy equipments like cranes and
hoists for other construction operations.
- Since the flow of concrete is directed to the exact spot pumped
concrete can be easier to handle.
- Continuous supply of pumped concrete can help set a steady work
pace.
