What do I need to know when hiring concrete pumps?
Here are some questions that we’ve gathered in regards to hiring concrete pumps:
- Do concrete pump hires provide the operators? Some providers can help you organise a concrete pour and provide the operators to do so.
- What are my responsibilities in dealing with the concrete pump rental company? Normally your responsibilities include but are not limited to: advising the type of job site, clearing site access, specifying the amount of concrete, advising clearance from power lines and traffic management.
- What affects the cost of the hire? The cost will depend on whether you are hiring a concrete pump truck or trailer, the size of the pump, the day of hire, the travel time, the time spent at the site and the risk of the site.
- What type of pump do I need? Concrete pump trailers are portable, cheaper and easier for smaller projects, while concrete pump trucks are fully featured and more functional. Consult your architect to find out the specifications of the project to see which one is the more suitable hire.
