Concrete Pumps & Placing Booms

placing boom tower

HAMAC supplies truck-mounted boom pumps for high-rise and large slabs, static and trailer line pumps for tunnels and long horizontal runs, spider placing booms for wide industrial floors, self-climbing booms that travel with the core of a tower, and separate placing masts for precast yards.

Concrete has to arrive at the formwork continuously and without segregation. That is the entire purpose of this product family: placing boom tower equipment takes plastic concrete from a truck or mixer and delivers it horizontally along a pipeline or vertically through a placed boom, at a rate the finishing crew can absorb.

Most enquiries we receive start after a fleet problem — a pump that loses pressure on long booms, a mixer whose drum liners wear prematurely, a batching plant whose weighing tolerance drifts. Each of those has an engineering answer, and that answer belongs in the design stage rather than in the warranty claim.

Key Advantages of placing boom tower

Boom reach without a crane

Independent placing puts concrete precisely where the crew is working without occupying lifting capacity.

Continuous placement

Steady flow keeps cold joints out of slabs and eliminates the double-handling cost of crane-and-skip methods.

Diesel and electric variants

Choose engine power for remote sites or electric motors for tunnels and urban night work.

S-tube valve reliability

Hardened wear plates and cutting rings provide extended service intervals under abrasive mixes.

Safety built into the controls

Outrigger interlocks, boom angle limits and emergency stop circuits protect both crew and structure.

Wash-out systems included

Integrated water tank, high-pressure pump and cleaning accessories reduce end-of-shift time.

From Enquiry to Commissioning

Six defined stages, each with named deliverables, so nothing is left to interpretation.

Requirement study

We start with your mix design, hourly output target, aggregate size, jobsite power supply and site layout — not with a catalogue page.

Scheme design

Our engineering team issues a layout drawing, foundation loads, power requirement and an equipment list matched to the target output.

Quotation & contract

A fixed specification quotation with clear technical annexes protects both sides; no vague "standard configuration" wording.

Production & inspection

Weekly production photos, welding and pressure test records, plus third-party inspection if your project requires it.

Delivery & installation

Container or break-bulk shipment, then on-site supervision of assembly, alignment, calibration and dry-run.

After-sales

Remote diagnostics by video call, spare parts dispatch within 48 hours for stocked items, and periodic return visits.

Frequently Asked Questions about placing boom tower

Do I need a special mix design for pumping?
Yes, a pumpable mix: continuous grading, sufficient fines (roughly 350-400 kg/m³ below 0.25 mm), and no gap-graded coarse aggregate.
How do I prevent pipeline blockages?
Keep slump at 120-180 mm, maintain adequate fines, prime the line with mortar before each pour and avoid long idle periods.
How tall can it pump?
Vertical reaches of 100-150 m are routine with correctly designed pipelines and adequate concrete pressure.
Boom pump or line pump?
If the pour point moves often and sits within boom reach, a boom pump wins on labour. If concrete must travel far horizontally or vertically beyond the boom, use a line pump and pipeline.
Can the machine handle low-slump concrete?
Most units are optimised for 120-200 mm slump; below that, pressure requirements rise sharply and output falls.
