The concrete pumps being a revolutionary alternative have revolutionized the construction industry and have replaced the old style concrete application that has been done with lifting buckets full of concrete. Nowadays, thanks to this innovation the construction workers and the concrete truck drivers have been enabled to concrete on inaccessible areas.
The concrete pumps are helping in:
- Concrete Formwork;
- Slab construction;
- Concrete Paving;
- Concrete Spraying, and so on.

Moreover, buying only the best concrete pumps is of a great importance since the operation of these pumps brings with it numerous hazards. One thing to remember is that the workers that are operating with these pumps must be well trained.
Among all hazards that the concrete pump brings I found the following ones as one of the most dangerous:
- When handling the timber pads, reducers, pipes, or even the hoses, the worker might be exposed to injury;
- Strain injuries might occur if the concrete pump is not positioned properly;
- Also one of the most hazardous tasks when operating with the concrete pumps is clearing the blockages;
- Walking long distances on the construction site while maneuvering with the concrete pumps is one more hazard

Henceforth, choosing the best pumps and the best trucks is no.1 priority. Caring for the people that are operating with them is the most important, I believe that you wouldn’t want to ruin the reputation of your company by buying pumps that cannot work properly and that could cause injuries to your employees.
