  A <url href="http://haomei.biz/products/Trailer-Concrete-Pump/" option="http://haomei.biz/products/Trailer-Concrete-Pump/">concrete pump</url> is a machine used for transferring liquid concrete by pumping. There are two types of concrete pumps.<br />
  <br />
  The first type of <url href="http://haomei.biz/products/Trailer-Concrete-Pump/" option="http://haomei.biz/products/Trailer-Concrete-Pump/">concrete pump</url> is attached to a truck or longer units are on semi-trailers. It is known as a boom concrete pump because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. Boom pumps are used on most of the larger construction projects as they are capable of pumping at very high volumes and because of the labour saving nature of the placing boom. They are a revolutionary alternative to line-concrete pumps.<br />

  The second main type of concrete pump is either mounted on a truck or placed on a trailer, and it is commonly referred to as a <url href="http://haomei.biz/products/Trailer-Concrete-Pump/" option="http://haomei.biz/products/Trailer-Concrete-Pump/">line pump</url> or <url href="http://haomei.biz/products/Concrete-Pump-Truck/" option="http://haomei.biz/products/Concrete-Pump-Truck/">trailer-mounted concrete pump</url>. This pump requires steel or flexible concrete placing hoses to be manually attached to the outlet of the machine. Those hoses are linked together and lead to wherever the concrete needs to be placed. The length of the hoses varies typically 10’, 12.5’, 25’ and 50’ depending on the diameter of the hose. Line pumps normally pump concrete at lower volumes than boom pumps and are used for smaller volume concrete placing applications such as swimming pools, sidewalks, and single family home concrete slabs and most ground slabs.<br />

  There are also skid mounted and rail mounted concrete pumps, but these are uncommon and only used on specialized jobsites such as mines and tunnels.

  A concrete pump is a time-, cost-, and back-saving machine that moves wet concrete to places where concrete mixer trucks cannot reach. There are two main types of concrete pumps—boom pumps and line pumps.
  
  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.
  
  It is known as a boom concrete pump because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete accurately. Boom pumps are used on most of the larger construction projects as they are capable of pumping at very high volumes and because of the labour saving nature of the placing boom
  
  
  A concrete line pump is a long hose attached to a stationary pump mounted on a trailer. (hence it is sometimes called a “Trailer-concrete pump”)  This hose allows you to more easily direct the concrete pour and is great for horizontal pumping, as you can extend the hose virtually as long as you need it. Concrete line pumps are also much smaller and more compact than their boom pump counterparts, making them much easier to transport and maneuver around a job site.
