Separate Placing Booms

Separate concrete placing booms can be used when a boom truck is unavailable, or in situations where the boom truck may not be able to conveniently access the pour site.

Combined with the right concrete pump, these placing booms provide a systematic method of concrete distribution.

For instance, contractors use the truck-mounted pump with placing boom in its conventional mode for part of a day on slab pours or other ground level placements and quickly remove the boom (with the aid of a tower crane) for remote placements later in the day. Typically, the boom is remounted on a pedestal, which can be located hundreds of feet from the pump and connected with a pipeline.

Here are some mounting options for placing booms:

• Cross frame: Foundation mounting with bolted cross frame.
• Crane tower mount: Boom and mast mounted on crane tower.
• Side mount: Mast mounted to the side of a structure with brackets.
• Wedge mount: Boom and mast inserted in floor slab with wedges.
• Ballasted cross frame: Zero elevation ballasted cross frame. This method may also be used with the boom mounted on a freestanding mast.
• Anchored: Boom and mast are anchored to a supporting surface.
