There are various types of concrete equipment. Sometimes even the same equipment is called differently in each place. For example, concrete pumps are also called concrete pumps, ground pumps, and trailer pumps; concrete pump trucks are also called boom pumps and sky pumps. Mobile pump trucks, automobile pumps; mixing trailer pumps, also known as ground mixing pumps, concrete mixing and pumping integrated machines, mixing and conveying integrated machines, and so on.

In order to avoid confusion, today we will introduce the difference between concrete pump and heavy duty concrete pump truck in detail, so that you can choose the equipment model that suits you according to your own on-site construction needs.

Concrete pump

Concrete pump, also known as concrete pump, is composed of pump body and conveying pipe. It is a machine that uses pressure to continuously transport concrete along pipelines. It is mainly used in construction of houses, bridges and tunnels. At present, it is mainly divided into gate valve concrete pump and S valve concrete pump. The concrete pump is also a special machine for conveying concrete for on-site concrete pouring. It is equipped with a special pipeline that can transport concrete to the pouring site along the pipeline. The parameters of the main oil pump determine the pumping speed and transport height of the concrete, and the horizontal distance is determined by the length of the boom. It is suitable for fixed concrete on-site pouring, and can ensure the uniformity of the concrete and increase the compactness.

Concrete pump truck

Large concrete pump truck is a pump truck composed of a pump body installed on the chassis of a car, and then equipped with a telescopic or flexural placing boom. The working principle is a machine that uses pressure to continuously transport concrete along the pipeline. It is composed of pump body and conveying boom pipe. According to the structure, it is divided into piston type, extrusion type and hydraulic diaphragm type. The pump body is installed on the chassis of the car, and then equipped with a retractable or flexural spreader boom to form a pump truck. The concrete pump truck is modified on the chassis of a truck. It is equipped with motion and power transmission devices, pumping and mixing devices, distributing devices and other auxiliary devices on the chassis. The power of the concrete pump truck transmits the power of the engine to the hydraulic pump unit or the rear axle through the power transfer box, and the hydraulic pump pushes the piston to drive the concrete pump to work. Then use the placing boom and conveying pipe on the pump truck to convey the concrete to a certain height and distance. Because the concrete pump truck is flexible and the placing boom can move freely, it is suitable for horizontal and vertical conveying of mixed materials, and even pouring across obstacles. It is widely used in new rural construction and bridge construction.

The concrete pump and the concrete pump truck are both concrete conveying machinery and have the same use, except that the former needs to be transported by a car and requires additional support pipes, while the latter is a locomotive body with a freely extending boom and no pipes. And the latter is more expensive than the former, the former requires hundreds of thousands, and the latter requires several million.
