A machine that pumps liquid concrete through a hose or boom to reach places a concrete truck can't directly discharge.
A mechanical device that transfers liquid concrete from the truck mixer to the point of placement through a system of pipes or a boom arm, used when direct discharge from the truck is not practical. Boom pumps mount on trucks with a folding articulating arm that can reach over or around obstacles. Line pumps use flexible hoses to reach more confined areas. Pumping requires a mix design with adequate slump and workability.
A 47-meter boom pump was used to place concrete on the upper deck of the parking structure without driving the truck on the elevated slab.
