Concrete pumps are offered in three basic configurations; truck mounted folding boom pumps, truck-mounted line pumps or "city pumps" and trailer-pumps. Concrete pumps provide accurate placement of concrete in confined or inaccessible places. The operation of many concrete pumps is often enhanced by remote controls that permit the operator to see the flow of concrete and communicate directly with concrete finishers.

Applications for concrete pumps include construction of commercial, industrial and residential buildings, bridges, tunnels, concrete slabs & footings, pools, patios and slope paving. Concrete placement booms are used to place concrete in hi-rise building construction as an alternative to using cranes with concrete buckets.

Concrete pumps are great labor saving devices because they can place concrete with great accuracy and controlled volume. Direct placement by concrete pumps without re-handling improves concrete quality while reducing labor. The steady flow produced by concrete pumps increases the productivity of the concrete finishers. Concrete pumps place concrete at lower costs than traditional methods and they can access jobs that concrete trucks cannot. Contractors report a labor savings of up to 50% compared to truck delivery.

Concrete pumps significantly save time and labor, reduce scheduling logistics, and enhance quality control. In many ways, the introduction of concrete pumps has changed the way modern concrete construction is designed and built.

The origin of commercial concrete pumping dates back to the 1950's in Europe. Since then, concrete pumps have grown larger, more productive and much more durable. Today, concrete pumps have evolved into very sophisticated, impressive machines that can reach more than 70-meters.
