Buying a new or second-hand truck-mounted concrete pump

Truck-mounted concrete pumps are common sightings on many construction sites, civil engineering projects, renovation work or residential building sites. They are used to transfer liquid concrete by pumping and a truck-mounted concrete pump simply means the pump is attached to a truck. A concrete pump with boom is useful for situations in which the area designated for a concrete pour is not easily accessible, for example, an urban apartment building with limited space. The boom is controlled by an onboard computer to pour concrete with precise accuracy.  Before buying a truck-mounted concrete pump decide whether it will be more economical to consider hiring buying a used pump. There are companies that hire as well as sell new or used concrete pumps. If the equipment is only going to be used for a limited amount of time, a lease may be a more cost-effective choice. If the decision is to buy, then knowing what features to look out for will be helpful.  Features and benefits of the Sermac range of truck-mounted concrete pumps:  The pumping unit utilises a special S-valve, which guarantees great outputs and small load loss,  The “S” valve has a diameter of 8” to meet the customer’s demands in terms of capacity/pressure, Placing booms from 21 meters (4 section) to 62 meters (5 section) height.
