What is a Concrete Boom Pump?

A concrete boom pump is a powerful machine designed to make concrete placement easier and more efficient. Think of it as a giant, flexible arm attached to a truck that can extend and reach high or awkward spots on your construction site.

Originally developed for tall buildings, the boom pump eliminates the need for workers to manually haul heavy buckets of concrete, saving time and reducing the risk of injuries. But don’t think boom pumps are just for high-rise buildings! They’re incredibly versatile and can be used on a variety of projects, both big and small.

When Does a Concrete Boom Pump Make Sense for Your Project?

A concrete boom pump is useful when you need to:

• Reach High Places – If your project involves pouring concrete on elevated floors, rooftops, or other hard-to-reach areas, a boom pump’s extendable arm can deliver concrete exactly where it’s needed, saving you the hassle and safety risks of manual transport.
• Navigate Obstacles – In situations where traditional methods fall short, a boom pump excels. Whether you’re dealing with fenced-off backyards, narrow alleyways, or multi-story buildings, the boom pump’s flexible arm can manoeuvre around these challenges, so that the concrete reaches its destination.
• Work Efficiently – Boom pumps move large volumes of concrete quickly, which can speed up your project timeline and reduce your labour costs. This makes them a great option for both large-scale commercial projects and smaller residential jobs.

A boom pump is worth considering if you’re facing any of these situations:

• Multi-story Construction – Pouring concrete for elevated floors or roofs.
• Residential Projects – Working on foundations, driveways, or patios with limited access.
• Landscaping – Creating complex concrete features like retaining walls or elevated walkways.
• Any Project Where Efficiency Matters – Whenever you need to save time and labour on concrete placement.

If you’re unsure whether a boom pump is right for your project, the knowledgeable team at Custom Concrete can recommend the best solution.

How Custom Concrete’s Boom Pump Service Works

Custom Concrete mix on-site concrete is freshly mixed on the spot in our state-of-the-art volumetric truck. This ensures you receive the exact amount of concrete you need, precisely when you need it.

Next, our powerful boom pump takes over. It pulls the concrete from the truck’s hopper and, using its agile, extendable arm, effortlessly directs the flow to the exact location where you want it poured. Whether it’s a multi-storey balcony, a garden patio, or a hard-to-reach foundation, the boom pump ensures accurate and efficient placement.

When the job’s done, there’s no mess left behind. We use a specialised “reverse pumping” technique to thoroughly clean out the delivery hose, leaving your site tidy and ready for the next stage of your project.

Do You Need a Boom Pump or a Line Pump?

If you’re unsure which type of pump suits your project, consider this:

• Boom Pump – Ideal for reaching heights, navigating over obstacles like fences or buildings, and placing concrete with precision.
• Line Pump – Perfect for covering longer distances across your site, manoeuvring around ground-level obstacles, and pumping concrete directly from the truck to the pour location. Line pumps can typically reach up to 150 metres.
