Used Concrete Pumps
The use of concrete pumps is as important as all other construction equipment used on a building site. It is responsible for transferring liquid concrete to where it is required by a process of pumping. There are various types and models of concrete pumps available on the market. The price of a new concrete pump can be expensive but there is the option of buying a used concrete pump.
Types of concrete pumps
After ready-mix concrete has been produced by concrete batching plants, it will need to be placed at the required points in the construction yard. A trailer mounted boom concrete pump can transfer the concrete vertically up to 100 meters or horizontally up to 300 meters. The Chimera Trailer Boom Pump has a 14m 3-section ‘Z’ fold boom, which, if additional pipeline is added, can pump concrete at a vertical reach of 65 meters and a horizontal reach of 300 meters at impressive rates of 46m3 per hour. It offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional truck-mounted pumps, which can encounter problems on jobs where there are access or weight restrictions.Trailer type cement pumps are equipped with a water pump to clean the pump after the pumping process .
Truck-mounted concrete pumps are world-renowned for their functionality and reliability. These pumps are available in a wide range of sizes with boom lengths ranging from 21- 66 meters and concrete outputs of up to 185m3/hour at pressures of up to 80 bars. There are those with either a 3, 4 or 5 section placing boom with the option of ‘z’ fold, ‘roll’ fold or ‘multi-z’ fold opening, making them easy to manoeuvre and suited to all types of concrete placing work, even where space is restricted. A telescopic boom can reach the most isolated spaces.
A good quality pumping unit is manufactured from high-quality, wear-resistant materials to ensure a long working life and minimal operating costs.
