Ground Line vs Boom Concrete Pumps
We provide two distinct pump configurations depending on site layout, distance, and overhead clearance:
Ground Line Concrete Pumps
Ground line pumps utilise heavy-duty 4-inch steel and flexible rubber pipes connected along the floor, through side gates, or even directly through doorways using protective sheeting. Capable of reaching over 150 metres horizontally, line pumps are the ultimate choice for domestic rear extensions, conservatory bases, garden slabs, and basement excavations throughout Hemel Hempstead.
- Distance reach up to 150+ metres
- Passes easily through narrow side alleys and domestic doors
- Compact vehicle footprint for tight residential streets
Hydraulic Boom Concrete Pumps
Boom pumps feature an articulated hydraulic crane arm mounted to the truck chassis. The boom extends up and over obstructions—such as houses, garages, boundary walls, or commercial scaffolding—to place concrete from above with pin-point accuracy. Ideal for large commercial pours, upper-floor deck slabs, and deep foundation excavations.
- Vertical and horizontal reach from 20m to 45m+
- Lifts over roofs, trees, and tall safety hoarding
- Extremely rapid high-volume pour rate for large contractors
