A concrete pump is a type of conveying equipment used for the continuous supply of concrete to heights and distances where a huge quantity of concrete is required and where other modes of transport are inconvenient. It generally employs horizontal or vertical pipelines to convey the liquid concrete. The concrete transported by different types of concrete pumps is also known as pumped concrete.
Get Different Types of Concrete Pumps for Your Business
Concrete Trailer Pump
Concrete pump trailers are concrete pumps mounted on a single or multi-axle trailer. Although they are compact, they use high pressure to pump concrete.
In addition to the convenience of these compact concrete pumps for small residential pours, they are also an alternative to high-volume boom pumps that require slower rate output pours. Most trailer concrete pumps offer placements rates that range from 5 to 100 cubic yards per hour with the ability to reach hundreds of feet.

Concrete Mixer Pump
A concrete mixer pump that combines various features such as feeding, mixing, and pumping of concrete in a single machine. The combination of mixing and transporting concrete can reduce labor intensity and save costs.Â
Concrete mixer pump can be transported to places with limited access to labor and tractors, making it a great choice for rural roads, civil housings, tunnels, bridges, etc.

Concrete Boom Pump
The concrete boom pump is equipped with a long automatic robotic arm and just like a crane, the arm can be controlled by operators to extend and move it to the desired location.
The arms are flexible so that they can be moved in any direction. Once the arms are extended into the sky and moved to the desired location, concrete mortar can be easily pumped up vertically to high-rise construction projects, which are inaccessible to other types of concrete pumps.
Construction projects can save a lot of time by using the concrete boom pump. After the concrete has been pumped, the giant extended arm can be swiftly withdrawn, accomplishing the tedious task of conveying concrete to great heights efficiently.
All equipment related to the concrete boom pump is compactly installed on a truck. This allows it to be conveniently transitioned to various sites and keeps its high working efficiency high.
Truck Mounted Concrete Mixer Pump
A concrete pump truck is a diesel-powered truck that mounts a mixing machine, a powerful pump and extendable hose pipes to produce and pump wet concrete.Â
Truck Mounted Concrete Mixer Pump
Model: HJBC30, HBJC40
Capacity: 30-40m3/h
Power: Diesel
Mixer Type: Drum Mixer/Two Shaft Mixer
Concrete Line Pump Truck
A concrete pump truck is a diesel-powered truck that mounts a powerful pump and extendable hose pipes to pump wet concrete where truck mixers cannot reach.Â
Concrete Line Pump Truck
Model: HBC80
Capacity: 80m3/h
Power: Diesel
Small/Mini Concrete Pump
The Mini/Small concrete pump is distinguished by its small size, volume, and its lightweight features. It is suitable to be used for small construction sites, such as urban and rural construction sites. It is ideal for construction projects with narrow construction space.Â
Portable Concrete Pump
Portable concrete pumps are mobile concrete pumps that are mounted on chassis with wheels making them easy to be moved to various construction sites. It is applicable in various construction projects such as houses, bridges, roads, tunnels, etc.
Specialized Usage Pump
This is a different type of concrete pump that is a premium option and are readily available. Specialized usage pumps can be designed to perform exceptional types of construction projects and are used in construction projects in mines and tunnels. Due to their specialized mechanism and the very high cost, this type of pump is not commonly used. They can also be mounted on skids and rails.
Similarities Between Concrete Boom Pump And Concrete Line Pump
Although the boom pumps and line pumps are different types, they also have some similar functionality and are integral tools in the construction project.
A concrete line pump can be divided into concrete trailer pump and concrete line pump truck.
It is usually mounted on a truck or a trailer and is also known as a stationary concrete pump. It is named so owing to the conveying hoses or pipelines equipped on the concrete line pump.
Liquid concrete can be easily pumped to any location on the construction site. Since the hoses are flexible like a snake line, the concrete line pump can be parked at a convenient location at the construction site. The hoses can then be extended to go around obstacles and through narrow alleys to the desired location, which is usually inaccessible to trucks and trailers.
- Both boom and line pumps help in making the construction process tidier, enables more accurate measurements, and accurate delivery of concrete, thereby making the job quicker and on time.
- Both the pumps can be either truck-mounted or trailer-mounted, making them ideal equipment for placing concrete in restricted areas.
- Both can be used to convey concrete over long distances, both vertically and horizontally using concrete pipelines.
