How Far Can A Concrete Pump Reach

Posted On: 05/06/2025 | Posted by: Haomei Concrete Pumps

In construction, the delivery of concrete is a key link, and the emergence of concrete pumps has greatly improved the efficiency of this process. But many people have a question in their minds: How far can a concrete pump be pumped? In fact, this value varies depending on the type of concrete pump.

Concrete boom pump

Boom pumps usually appear in the form of concrete pump trucks. Its biggest feature is that it comes with a folding distribution boom, which allows it to flexibly stretch and pump materials at the construction site.

The pumping height of the boom pump is generally around 52-65 meters, which can meet the construction needs of most ordinary high-rise buildings. For example, in the construction of residential buildings with about 20-30 floors, which are common in cities, the 56 meter concrete pump can easily transport concrete to the corresponding floor height with its flexible boom extension to carry out floor pouring and other work.

For some large boom pump equipment, the pumping height is even more amazing, reaching more than 70 meters. These large boom pumps are often used in the construction of large projects such as super high-rise buildings and large commercial complexes. They can cover a larger construction range with their super long booms at the construction site, reducing the cumbersome operations such as taking over during concrete delivery, greatly improving construction efficiency.

The pumping height of a boom pump depends mainly on the length and extension capacity of its boom, as well as the power system of the equipment itself. With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the design and manufacturing technology of boom pumps are also constantly improving, and boom pumps with higher pumping heights may appear in the future.

Concrete mixing pump

The mixer trailer pump works differently from the boom pump, and mainly uses pipelines to transport concrete over long distances.

Generally speaking, the theoretical maximum vertical conveying height of the concrete mixer with pump for sale can exceed 300 meters. In terms of horizontal conveying distance, the mixer pump also performs well. Under ideal construction conditions, the horizontal conveying distance of modern high-performance mixer pumps can reach hundreds to one thousand meters. However, the actual horizontal conveying distance will be affected by many factors such as the specific environment of the construction site, the laying of the pipeline, and the properties of the concrete.

The pumping height and distance of the mixer pump mainly depend on its pumping pressure, the power of the equipment and the characteristics of the concrete. The greater the pumping pressure, the more it can overcome the resistance of concrete during transportation in the pipeline, and achieve longer distance and higher height transportation. At the same time, the slump of concrete, the size of aggregates and other properties will also affect its fluidity in the pipeline, and thus affect the pumping effect.
