Which One to Choose: Small or Big Concrete Pumps

Posted On: 26/02/2025 | Posted by: Haomei Concrete Pumps

In today's construction engineering field, concrete pumps are indispensable key equipment, and their efficient operation directly affects the progress and quality of the project. Faced with the dazzling small and big concrete pumps on the market, how to make the right choice has become the focus of many construction parties.

Before choosing a concrete pump, the construction party must accurately define its own needs. First of all, the construction scale must be considered. If it is a small project such as a small rural self-built house or a small commercial building, a small concrete pump is sufficient; while large projects such as large high-rise buildings, bridges, and large infrastructure construction require large concrete pumps to provide strong pumping capabilities.

The construction environment is also an important factor. For example, if the construction site is narrow, the small size and high flexibility of small concrete pumps can give full play to their advantages; if the site is open, the efficient operation capacity of large concrete pumps can be more prominent. At the same time, the distance and height of concrete delivery must also be considered. For high-rise buildings, high-pressure and large-volume concrete pumps are required to ensure that the concrete can reach the designated location smoothly.

The main parameters of concrete pumps

Theoretical delivery volume: It represents the volume of concrete that the concrete pump can deliver per hour. This parameter is directly linked to the construction efficiency. The larger the theoretical delivery volume, the more concrete pouring can be completed in the same time, and the faster the construction progress.

Pressure: Pressure reflects the ability of the concrete pump to overcome the resistance of the pipeline, which is crucial for long-distance transportation and the construction of high-rise buildings. Sufficient pressure can ensure that the concrete moves smoothly in the pipeline and reaches the high or distant construction site.

Small VS Big concrete pumps

Small concrete pumps are of small size, low power and low price. For small construction projects, such as 10-story buildings in small counties or 3- or 4-story houses in rural areas, they are very practical and can effectively save labor costs and shorten construction periods. Moreover, they do not have high requirements for the site and can operate flexibly in narrow spaces. However, the pumping capacity of small concrete pumps is limited, and the conveying distance and height are not as good as large concrete pumps.

Large concrete pumps have strong pumping capacity and are suitable for long-term and large-volume concrete pumping in large projects. It has good stability and durability and can adapt to high-intensity continuous operations. However, the purchase cost of large concrete pumps is high, and the requirements for sites and operators are also more stringent.

Unique advantages of the 47-meter boom pump

Efficient construction capacity: The 47 meter concrete pump gives it a wider distribution range. In large-scale building construction, it can cover a larger construction area and reduce the number of equipment movements, thereby greatly improving construction efficiency. For example, in the construction of large commercial complexes, the 47-meter boom pump can easily transport concrete to various construction areas, which can save a lot of time and labor costs compared to short-boom pumps.

Good adaptability: Whether it is vertical pumping of high-rise buildings or long-distance transportation in the horizontal direction, the 47-meter boom pump can cope with it easily. It can work stably in different construction environments and working conditions to meet diverse construction needs. For example, in bridge construction, it can span a certain distance and accurately pour concrete to the designated location.

Precise distribution: The design of its boom can achieve precise concrete distribution, ensuring that the concrete is evenly distributed in the construction site, avoiding uneven pouring, and thus ensuring construction quality. In some projects that require high quality of concrete pouring, such as concrete pouring of water conservancy facilities, the precise distribution advantage of the 47-meter boom pump is particularly prominent.

High cost performance: Although the purchase cost of the 47 meter concrete pump is relatively high, in the long run, its efficient construction capacity can shorten the project cycle, reduce labor costs and equipment rental costs, and it has a high cost performance.
