Concrete Pump Car Pictorial Safety Checklist
A concrete pump is a machine used for
transferring liquid concrete by pumping. There are different types of concrete
pumps.

A
common type of concrete pump for large scale construction projects is known as
a boom concrete pump, because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic
arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. It is attached to a truck or
a semi-trailer, if particularly long. Boom pumps are capable of pumping at very
high volumes and are less labor intensive to operate when compared to line or
other types of concrete pumps.

The second main type of concrete pump,
commonly referred to as a "line pump" or trailer-mounted concrete
pump, is either mounted on a truck or placed on a trailer. This pump requires
steel or flexible concrete placing hoses to be manually attached to the outlet
of the machine and feed the concrete to the place of application. The length of
the hoses varies, typical are 10’, 12.5’, 25’ and 50’ long hoses, depending on
the diameter. Due to their lower pump volume, line pumps are used for smaller
volume concrete placing applications such as swimming pools, sidewalks, single
family home concrete slabs and most ground slabs.
There are also skid mounted and rail
mounted concrete pumps, but these are uncommon and only used on specialized
jobsites such as mines and tunnels. (Source-Wiki)
