Have a concrete pumping-related question? 4B Concrete Pumping has the answer. Check out these FAQs and call or text us today for more information!

  • How does a concrete pump work?

    A concrete pump moves wet concrete from a mixer to the pour location using a hopper, agitator, and piston pumps.

  • What type of concrete can be pumped?

    Many concrete mixes can be pumped, but the type of pump, cement content, and aggregate size can affect pumpability. A pump mix contains extra cement and sand to allow the concrete to flow through the pipelines.

  • What preparation is required?

    You'll need to provide parking for the concrete mixer and pump truck, and a pathway for the pump line. You should also protect any door frames or garden walls with dust sheets and padding.

  • How long does it take to pump a concrete truck out?

    Typically, 20 minutes to pump a whole truck out.

  • How long would it take to set up a site?

    Roughly about 30 minutes for our team to set up before starting a job.

  • What is the best season for a concrete project?

    Anytime, but typically spring and fall are the best months.

  • What if we don't have a place to wash the pump out?

    We provide a wash-out bag to clean the pump out and it is disposed of at the customer's convenience.

  • When should I use a concrete pump?

    Concrete pumps are best for jobs where time or access is limited. They can also save time and money by avoiding spills from wheelbarrows.

  • How much concrete can be pumped?

    Concrete pumps can pump up to 160 m³ of concrete per hour, but the flow rate can be controlled for more delicate jobs.

  • How much does concrete pumping cost?

    Concrete pumping can save money on labor, but there is an additional cost for hiring the pump. The final cost can be affected by many factors, including the weather, road conditions, and site conditions.
