Should I choose a boom pump or a line pump?
Boom pumps are ideal for large-scale jobs and high-rise pours, offering speed and reach with minimal labour. Line pumps are more versatile and compact, perfect for smaller jobs or sites with limited access.
What pumping capacity should I look for?
Typical capacities range from 20 to 150 cubic metres per hour. Choose a listing based on your pour size and required flow rate. High-volume commercial jobs demand more powerful pumps with higher pressure ratings.
Can concrete pumps handle different mix types?
Yes, but ensure your pump matches the mix's aggregate size and consistency. Harsh or coarse mixes may require pumps with larger cylinders and reduced wear component sensitivity.
