How Do We Determine Which Pump to Use?





For any of you following our articles on Conco Now or our blog posts, you know that we have an impressive fleet of concrete pumps that has allowed us to successfully operate one of the largest concrete pumping companies in the U.S. for more than 40 years.  In fact in Southern California alone, we house 15 pumps manufactured by two of the top names in the industry, Putzmeister and Schwing.  So with all of the pumps that we own, how do we determine which is the best pump or pumps to use on a particular job?

This is where our experts come in.  They know how to deliver cost-effective solutions for even the most challenging projects.  Our experienced team designs customized plans for each specific project, which includes calculating the needs of a job right down to the type of equipment to use that allows us to meet deadlines and handle access difficulties.

By owning such a large range of different sized pumps, we are able to use the proper equipment to place concrete in the fastest, most efficient manner.  Some of our pumps are specifically designed to maneuver in tight spaces and within small jobsites while the reach of our long booms make them the appropriate choice for other projects. 

This is why it is so imperative to have a team of professional concrete contractors that have the experience to analyze all aspects of the job’s specifications to determine which boom truck has the capability and features to most efficiently handle the job.  Making the right selection of equipment before the job is started is critical to staying on budget and meeting timelines as well as providing a safe environment for our employees and the rest of the workforce at the jobsite. 


The Conco Companies have built an outstanding reputation in the Los Angeles area with our superior concrete formwork, reinforcing, place and finish, shotcrete and other ancillary services.  We have been offering premium concrete services throughout the Western U.S. since 1959, and have four regional offices serving California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada and Colorado.
