We are proud to put ourselves forward as the expert team for Concrete Line Pumping. It is our speciality at Retimix Shotcon. No matter what your concrete line pumping requirements and no matter the mix or where in the Waikato region, our team will be the one to count on!

A Concrete Line Pump is a concrete pumping unit that is a towable trailer or mounted directly to a truck that does not have a mechanical arm to place the concrete.

The concrete flows through a series of steel pipes and reinforced rubber hoses (line) which is assembled on the job site connecting the outlet of the concrete line pump to where the location where concrete needs to be placed. The steel pipe and rubber hoses are transported with the machine to the job site and come in varying lengths and diameters.

Space Restrictions – Line pumps are smaller than boom pumps and require a smaller footprint because they do not have large outriggers that extend. Trailer pumps can also be unhitched and maneuvered by equipment to get into tight places on job sites.

Overhead Restrictions – Line pumps do not need large amounts of overhead space to get set up, and, have low clearance heights so they can be brought inside buildings, through doorways, and under low bridges. Boom pumps cannot operate within 8 meters of power lines, so when power lines are present, line pumps are sometimes the only option.

Distance – Line pumps can pump concrete a greater distance than a boom pump, both horizontally and vertically. Stationary line pumps are used to pump concrete vertically to the upper levels in high rises, and long-distance horizontal pumping on bridge decks and other applications.
