A pump truck, also known as a concrete pump, is a machine used to pump concrete mix from a stationary mixer truck to a specific location on a construction site. It consists of a long, flexible hose and a pump that forces the concrete through the hose. Pump trucks are used to pour concrete into hard-to-reach areas, such as high-rise buildings or underground structures.
Pump trucks offer several advantages over traditional methods of pouring concrete. First, they can pump concrete much higher and farther than a human can pour it, making them ideal for high-rise buildings and other tall structures. Second, pump trucks can place concrete more accurately than a human can, which is important for precision work. Third, pump trucks can pump concrete faster than a human can, which can save time and money on construction projects.
