Selecting a concrete pump truck requires careful consideration of the nature of the concrete work, the maximum delivery requirements, the longest pumping distance, the building plans, the type of concrete pump, and the specific on-site conditions. The performance and structure of concrete pumps vary across models, so it's essential not only to consider the type of concrete being poured but also the construction method, structural design, technical specifications, site environment, and surrounding conditions. Typically, the main performance parameters of the pump should match or slightly exceed the construction needs. If the capacity is too large, the utilization rate may drop; if it's too small, it could fail to meet project demands and lead to premature wear of the equipment.
Construction adaptability is a key advantage of concrete pump trucks, with higher boom heights offering greater pouring height and coverage radius, thus enhancing flexibility on site. Whenever possible, high-boom concrete pump trucks should be prioritized. Pump trucks with boom lengths ranging from 28 to 36 meters are currently the most common in the market, accounting for approximately 75% of the total. Long-arm concrete pump trucks are expected to become the primary choice for future projects. However, when the boom exceeds 42 meters, the cost increases significantly due to limitations in the vehicle chassis' load capacity and space constraints at the construction site, making them rarely used.
The number of concrete pump trucks required for a project can be calculated based on the total volume of concrete to be poured, the actual output per machine, and the duration of the operation. For large-scale one-time concrete pouring tasks, it's advisable to have some backup units beyond the calculated requirement. Additionally, a concrete mixing plant with an annual output of 100,000 to 150,000 cubic meters should be equipped with 2 to 3 concrete pump trucks to ensure smooth operations.
When selecting the product configuration, the performance of the concrete pump truck should be set at a high standard. If the pump is intended for high-value applications, the quality and standards of its components must also be elevated. Both the internal quality and external appearance of the product should align with the premium value of the vehicle.
The power system of a concrete pump truck typically uses full hydraulic technology, so it's important to evaluate whether the hydraulic technology is advanced and whether the hydraulic components are of high quality. Since the power comes from the engine, both the engine’s performance and the chassis’ carrying capacity and overall quality must be considered.
The control system of the pump truck usually includes manual, wired, and wireless options. Wired control is straightforward and reliable, while wireless remote control allows for long-distance operation. In case of electrical failure, manual operation can serve as a backup, ensuring continuous work.
As a specialized vehicle, the concrete pump truck requires strong after-sales support and spare parts availability. Due to its unique features and safety requirements, manufacturers must provide reliable service. Without proper support, any malfunction could delay the project and lead to serious consequences.
