A concrete pump is a machine used to transfer liquid concrete from a mixer to the desired location on a construction site. It uses a series of pipes and hoses to move the concrete efficiently, allowing for precise placement in hard-to-reach areas. This equipment is essential for large construction projects, such as buildings and bridges, where manual pouring would be impractical. There are two main types of concrete pumps: boom pumps and line pumps. A boom pump has a long, articulated arm that can reach high and far, while a line pump uses flexible hoses to transport concrete over shorter distances. Both types help speed up the construction process and improve the quality of the concrete placement.
