Boom Pump

A boom pump is used for areas that even a ground pump can't reach. These pumps use a remote controlled, sometimes-extendable arm that can reach up and over houses and other obstructions – perfect for situations where concrete is needed on higher ground, such as the top floor of an apartment block.A boom pump is a concrete pump that you mount on a truck (hence it is sometimes called a “truck-mounted pump”) and that uses an arm (the “boom”) that you control remotely to deliver the cement where you need it. A common use for boom pumps is in high-rise construction. Before pumps became available, workers would haul buckets of concrete up to their working level, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Boom pumps cut down on that time by depositing concrete directly at the working level.
