Proper Truck Positioning

The primary concern when utilizing a pump truck during a pumped concrete pour is safely positioning the truck where the boom can reach the concrete placement site. The key word here is "safely."

Improperly positioned, a pump truck can cause death or serious injury, making a nightmare out of what may have appeared to be a standard, "every day" pour. The pumping crew can only utilize the pump truck and boom when the conditions are entirely safe.

Prior to extending the pump truck boom on a new job site, check for the following:

Power lines

Excavations

Other obstructions
