All you need to know about concrete pumps

Technology has equally revolutionized the construction industry it has revolutionized any other domain. Needless to say, the smallest and even the irrelevant aspects have been automated with the help of technology. When it comes to transferring liquid concrete, technology leaves no room to make that easier as well. Tracing back to almost 100 years ago, the idea of concrete pumping was born when major contractor s found it difficult to effectively transport concrete from one floor to another in a high rise building. All methods proved to be either inefficient or uneconomical. Finally in the 1920s, the idea of Pumping concrete from one location to another came into being which was effectively implemented by 1932 in the first fully functional and efficient concrete pump. 

Highly dependent Concrete Pumps in North London began operation after 1930s; almost a decade after firs design hit the market. Even though Giese and Hull were the first developers, Jacob Cornelius Kweimn made the first major improvement in the design and then, the pumps saw innumerable improvements that made the transportation and pumping better and easier. Let’s check out a few common types of concrete pumps that are available in the market for sale and hire- 

Mobile Pump

The mobile pump has a concrete pump as well as placement boom mounted on a truck for operations. It is usually used for placing concrete on heights varying from 20 to 60 metres. 

Line pump, static pump or stationary pump is the concrete pump as the name suggests is immovable and thus several lines of pipes are attached to it, leading to the point of concrete delivery. The pipelines are usually made of steel and rubber. 

A concrete pump can also be mounted on the back of a truck. A truck mounted static pump is usually used where a heavy load of concrete is needed to be transferred and the placement boom can’t work. 

Why not carry the supply of concrete with you wherever you require/ A truck mixer concrete pump does the same job as any concrete pump with a basic difference- it mixes before it pumps, making sure your concrete to be poured is thorough and even.
