  • 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

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

      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".

I imagine they can use similar piston sizes so I bet the larger ones could do similar.
