Concrete is the most used construction material, but it can be a messy business, particulalry if you are unsure of how to transport and use it effectiveily. Concrete pump trucks allow precise concrete distribution, quickly, safely and with minimal mess. This blog looks are reasons why using concrete pump trucks saves time and money.
You Only Require One Vehicle
An all-in-one vehicle does the job since you only need one. One driver, one truck, one trip. Using a normal volumetric or conventional ready mix truck means using two trucks and staff: Mixer and pumper. The two trucks must park back-to-back on your site or the street so the pump truck can access the mix. One truck can perform all of this, saving you from hiring two firms and speeding up the job if one truck is late or doesn’t have a place to park and start.
Pay For What You Use
The pump truck might save you money on materials. Other concrete suppliers want you to determine the precise volume needed and pay for it in advance, regardless of whether it is used. The onboard computers of a concrete pump truck calculates the exact mix needed, so you only pay for what you use.
Less Mess
Transporting and laying ready-mix concrete has a time limit. Rushing to finish makes a mess, especially when using barrows to transport concrete. Pumping concrete from a volumetric or ready mix machine requires a second vehicle. This makes the mess worse, especially when the pump washes out on your street and leaves you with a large cleanup.
Quicker Completion
Mixing and pumping concrete, dry screed, or liquid screed on-site with one vehicle overcomes many logistical problems. You can pump concrete or screed with lightweight, flexible rubber hoses that can be combined to 80 metres.
Better Overall Results
Because of their accuracy and effectiveness, concrete pump trucks provide excellent results. They reduce waste and guarantee uniform placement by delivering concrete straight to the intended spot, even in difficult-to-reach places. The overall structural integrity of the concrete pour is enhanced and the chance of segregation is decreased by this regulated distribution. Additionally, as compared to conventional methods, the speed and power of pump trucks greatly reduce labour costs and project schedules.
