Reasons for Pumping Concrete

Schwing KVM 55 Boom Pump

Pumping is a very efficient and reliable means of placing concrete, which makes it a very economical method as well.
Sometimes, a pump is the only way of placing concrete in a certain location. Such as a high rise building, or large slabs where the chutes of the concrete truck cant reach where the concrete is needed.
Other times, the ease and speed of pumping concrete makes it the most economical method of concrete placement. The Schwing KVM 55 pictured above can pump over 200 cubic yards per hour.
