Brief us about the advantages of using boom pumps.
The boom pumps are a different breed of concrete pumps; unlike other stationary and line pumps where the pipelines need to be laid well before pumping, the boom pump does not require this exercise. It has an assembly of pipelines with R, Z or R-Z folds which enable its 360o rotating capacity. Schwing Stetter India manufactures two types of boom pumps; truck-mounted and separate placing boom pumps. Each of these has their own applications. The separate placing booms are usually opted for high-rise building projects whereas the boom pumps can be used for all applications and also has a reputation for providing faster completion.

What should a client look forward while opting for a boom pump?
The most economical construction machine is the one that can be used continuously. Therefore, it should be rugged, reliable and above all, suitable for universal applications. Schwing Stetter has designed its boom placers which are superior to all comparable placing booms in all working ranges. Separate placing booms, which are used in combination with stationary concrete pumps, have established themselves as the ideal concrete distribution system in high-rise construction and other largescale structures.
