Concrete Pump Hire
Our modern concrete pumps are available for various construction projects, ensuring reliable and high-quality concrete delivery. Using additional ground-line we have pumped concrete over 200m.
Whilst we offer discounted rates when booked with our concrete supply, we don’t exclusively pump our own concrete, you’re welcome to book the pump alone & source concrete elsewhere. Our pumps travel across the West Midlands & Warwickshire.
We pride ourselves on supplying reliable, well-maintained machinery and employing friendly, cooperative & qualified operators.
What is Concrete Pump Hire?
Concrete pump hire is a service that provides a convenient and efficient way to place concrete in otherwise hard-to-reach places. The concrete pump uses hydraulic rams to push the ready mix concrete down a pipeline under pressure to precisely place it where needed, either along the floor or over-head using a boom arm This service is particularly beneficial for construction projects that require larger quantities of concrete, have limited access, or aim to minimise labour costs. by utilising concrete pumps, construction projects can achieve a more streamlined and effective concrete delivery process, ensuring that the material is placed precisely where it is needed with minimal effort.
Benefits of Concrete Pump Hire
Concrete pump hire offers several benefits to construction projects, making it a popular choice among contractors. Some of the key advantages include:
Time-saving: By eliminating the need for manual labour to move concrete around the job site, concrete pump hire significantly reduces the time required for concrete placement, thereby increasing overall productivity.
Cost-effective: Concrete pump hire helps reduce labour costs and minimises material waste, making it a cost-effective solution for various construction projects.
Improved safety: Using concrete pumps reduces the risk of accidents associated with the manual handling of concrete, thereby enhancing the safety of the construction site.
Increased accuracy: Concrete pumps allow for precise delivery of concrete to specific locations, reducing the risk of errors and improving the overall quality of the project.
Types of Concrete Pumps
Boom pumps: boom pumps feature a folding boom arm that can reach high distances and place concrete precisely where it is needed, making them perfect for placing at height or over obstacles.
Line pumps: These are smaller and more compact than boom pumps, so line pumps are ideal for smaller construction projects. They do not have a boom arm so the pipes have to be across the floor to where it’s being placed.
The concrete pump hire process
The concrete pump hire process typically involves the following steps:
1. Check availability : contact us to ensure we have availability to suit your timescale,
2. Prepare the site: prepare the construction site for the arrival of the concrete pump and concrete. This may involve clearing access routes and setting up any necessary equipment. The pump is a heavy vehicle & will require hard, safe access. The customer will need to provide a bag of cement to grout the line & somewhere to wash out once the job is completed.
3. Pump concrete: allow around half an hour for the concrete pump to set up before the ready mix concrete arrives, then the pump operator will grout the line & concrete will be pumped to the precise location where it is needed, ensuring efficient and accurate placement.
