A concrete pump is a machine used to transfer liquid concrete from a mixer to a construction site. It helps in pouring concrete into hard-to-reach areas, such as high-rise buildings or deep foundations. The pump can be mounted on a truck or a trailer, making it mobile and efficient for various construction projects. There are two main types of concrete pumps: boom pumps and line pumps. Boom pumps have a long, articulated arm that can reach over obstacles, while line pumps use hoses to transport concrete over shorter distances. Both types improve the speed and accuracy of concrete placement, enhancing overall construction efficiency.
