Frequently Asked Questions About Concrete Pumping

Concrete pumping is a method of transporting freshly mixed concrete from the delivery vehicle to the required location using specialised pumping equipment. It allows concrete to be placed quickly and accurately, especially on sites where access is restricted or traditional pouring methods are difficult.

Our mixers are not available for day hire – they deliver concrete to your site and then leave once the job is done. However, our concrete pumps can be hired for half-day, full-day, or even night work if needed. Let us know your requirements and we’ll recommend the best option for your project.

Not all mixes are pumpable. We work with your concrete supplier (or provide our own) to ensure your mix has the right consistency and additives for smooth pumping.

A line pump is ideal for projects with restricted access, smaller spaces, or situations where concrete needs to be transported over a distance using flexible hoses.

The pumping distance depends on the project requirements, concrete mix, and site conditions. Our team can recommend the most suitable setup for your needs.
