At Flow Concrete Pumping, we offer reliable concrete line pumping in Leicester and throughout the county. We deliver on sites where boom pumps struggle.
If you need to pump concrete, there are two main options available: using a boom pump or concrete line pumping. A boom pump is mounted on a truck and is designed to pump large quantities of concrete from a height. In contrast, a line pump is smaller, stationary pump, and better suited for horizontal concrete pumping due to its compact size and ease of manoeuvrability.
Concrete pumps are highly convenient, as they enable concrete to be delivered directly to the desired location without the need to frequently move a heavy cement mixer or manually transport concrete to the worksite. Boom pumps are remote-controlled and straightforward to operate. You can drive the truck like any standard vehicle, and it provides an efficient means of pumping concrete. However, despite their efficiency and remote operability, boom pumps are still heavy, specialised machines that can sometimes struggle to access tight spaces or remote parts of the site. Flow’s Leicester concrete line pumping service is the perfect solution.
A line pump features a long hose attached to a stationary pump, making it easier to direct concrete precisely, to exactly where you want it. Concrete line pumping is particularly well-suited for horizontal pumping projects, since the hose can be extended as needed to cover longer distances. The compact design of line pumps makes them more portable and easier to move around site. They also provide greater control and flexibility than boom pumps during concrete pouring, offering a more economical alternative in many situations compared to boom pumps.
The smaller size of line pumps makes them especially practical for residential projects or low-level, hard-to-access locations. Their design allows easier access to sites that would be difficult for larger equipment.
When deciding between using a boom pump and line pumping, consider the unique advantages each offers. While both are suited to different types of projects, factors such as cost-effectiveness and the specific requirements of the site should guide your choice. For instance, line pumps will almost always prove to be the more budget-friendly option.
For efficient and budget-friendly concrete line pumping, Leicester based Flow Concrete Pumping are at your service.
