The Amazing Concrete Pump Machine and How It Works

How a concrete pumper works, cool facts, and how much they cost. See this awesome machine in action on our job. In this video we record a day at work using a concrete pump to pour footers and piers. One of these machines can be hired for around $500 per pour (depending on the size of the pour), which is a deal considering how much effort they save when you can't get the concrete truck close to your footer.

Came here because I wondered how it actually works. It’s so simple, beautiful 👍🏼 thanks for showing. One addition: the open cylinder actually sucks the concrete in actively because the piston moving back creates a vacuum behind the concrete. That’s why the level in the hopper drops in intervals

That's a trailer pump. It's actually closer to 300psi pumping pressure inside the house. A "pumper truck" is actually called a boom pump. The concrete is pulled into the material cylinders via suction, it doesn't flow. The "pipe" is called a swing tube. Any questions, feel free to ask. I have a couple videos up if you wanna check me out

I was hoping to show someone how the spades switched between suction (from the hopper) to the line (pressure) ... My family in NOLA owned Carlo Ditta Inc ... and my dad owned a 105' whiteman Boom pump I worked on for a few years ... harshest was the summer of 1989 in NorCal ... where the temp averaged (for 3 months) over 115-degrees in the valleys we'd so frequently work in. THAT was some hard work. Big hoses, and clamps -- 4" I think, through a reducer to a 3" hose at the end ... all of which I (alone) cleaned up after we wrapped and on weekends. It's some serious work.

Pump truck? Trailer pump or line pump is what you meant. And a pump truck isn't always a boom pump it could be a line pump mounted on a truck also called a city pump. Then you have placing booms and spider booms. If you guys think you use them enough and would consider investing in one let me know and we can look at options for you.

@romangudev8770 2 жыл бұрын

Largely depends on your (inner) hose diameter. Our rule of thumb is < 1/3 of the diameter. Just to be safe, I run 3/8" pea gravel in the 2" hose, which is < 1/4 of the diameter. I ran a maximum of 3/4" rock in the 3" hose.

Machines are expensive, and so are the hoses. And yes you need a 1 ton truck, minimum. So it's a pretty big investment. I've been told a new set up these days is more like $350k plus a truck.

We pump TOTALLY different in tx. No agitators in the hopper? That’s gotta be fun to wash out and 50 yards/hr is on the lower ends. I was spoiled and only ran German pumps…American pumps are trash along with Chinese. I been in the concrete world since I was 18. I’m 35 got into plumbing but I’m about to drive a mixer next week. I know a lot of ppl think they know what they are doin but just cause it hasn’t happened doesn’t me it won’t. I’ve had weeks where we lose a guy to just crazy shit. Read up and educate yourself before doing this it’s a top 3-5 dangerous job. Much love

@greghughey9738 4 жыл бұрын

For a small trailer pump like that, with no vibrator, you need at least a 3-3.5" slump. With a good vibrator I pump a 2" all the time. Bigger the number, wetter the mud. Flat work is usually around a 5".

So, if a crew were able to handle that mud fast enough, I could see 4 minutes being done. These line pumps maybe not, but a boom truck really throws it. I imagine they can use similar piston sizes so I bet the larger ones could do similar.
