56m Concrete Pump: Electric or Diesel

Posted On: 14/05/2025 | Posted by: Haomei Concrete Pumps

As a typical long boom concrete pump, 56m concrete pump is widely used in high-rise buildings, bridge construction, large venues and other scenes with its ultra-long boom and precise material distribution capabilities. Its core advantages are:

Efficient coverage: The 56-meter arm length can cover a larger construction range, reduce the frequency of equipment movement, and improve casting efficiency.

Precise control: The intelligent arm control system can achieve millimeter-level positioning to meet the construction needs of complex structures.

High reliability: The use of high-strength steel and optimized hydraulic system ensures stable operation under high load.

In-depth comparison of electric and diesel power

1. Environmental performance

Diesel power: the diesel concrete pump emits a large amount of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter (PM), which are significantly harmful to the environment and human health. For example, the emission of a diesel boom pump is equivalent to the sum of 30-50 family cars.

Electric power: zero tail gas emissions, noise reduction of more than 30%.

2. Energy consumption cost

Diesel power: dependent on fuel, oil price fluctuations directly affect operating costs.

Electric power: The electricity cost is only 1/3-1/2 of the fuel cost, and there is no need to pay for diesel storage and transportation costs. For example, when the electric pump truck uses an external 380V industrial electricity, the energy consumption cost per cubic meter of concrete can be reduced by 40%.

3. Maintenance complexity

Diesel power: short maintenance cycle (such as hydraulic oil replacement every 500 hours), engine, oil pump and other parts are easy to wear. The maintenance cost of diesel pumps is high, and the replacement cost of the oil pump assembly alone exceeds 5,000 RMB.

Electric power: The motor and electronic control system have simple structures, and maintenance items are reduced by more than 60%.

4. Applicable scenarios

Diesel power: Suitable for remote areas or construction sites with unstable power supply, can operate independently without relying on the power grid.

Electric power: Requires stable power support, more suitable for urban centers, environmentally sensitive areas or construction sites equipped with charging piles.

5. Initial investment

Diesel power: The price is relatively low.

Electric power: The initial cost is high, and the price of a new electric pump truck is about 1.5-2 times that of a diesel model.

Scenarios where electric pumps are preferred:

City core areas or projects with strict environmental protection control (such as hospitals and schools).

Long-term fixed construction sites can be equipped with charging piles or connected to industrial power grids.

Enterprises that focus on brand image and sustainable development need to reduce their carbon footprint.

Scenarios where concrete pump diesel is preferred:

Remote mountainous areas and construction sites without stable power supply.

Short-term temporary projects that require rapid deployment of equipment.

Small and medium-sized projects with limited budgets and low environmental protection requirements.
