Our “big girl” is a 52m concrete boom pump that has been part of the Easy Reach Concrete Pumping fleet in Townsville for almost six years now. Can you believe it?!
Under the Concrete Pumping Code of Practice, concrete boom pumps in Queensland need to have an annual inspection every year and a major inspection every 6 years. So the “big girl” is getting her first major check up!
This photo was taken today at the start of her major inspection and shows how big she really is. The 52m boom pump is on full stretch along the ground (not her normal position!) at our Townsville Depot and she’s taking up our whole yard. Lucky the rest of our fleet is busy on civil, industrial, residential and commercial construction sites around Townsville, because she’s not letting them in!
Our 52m concrete boom pump has played a role in placing concrete into some of the newest high rise structures around Townsville, such as the Ardo Hotel and the Mater Hospital’s Multi-Story Car Park. It has also been used for many other projects such as ports, schools, pathways, and roads to name a few. Last summer, the 52m boom was handy on a mine site to reduce the number of pours required on a project, minimising manual handling and labour in our unforgiving weather leading up to wet season. So if you need a big pump for a project in North Queensland, please give us a call and discuss how our fleet can make your next concrete pour easier. We also have 32m, 38m, 40m and 42m boom pumps that are capable of both boom pumping and high pressure line pumping.
Here at Easy Reach Concrete Pumping we prioritise the maintenance of our equipment and regularly receive positive feedback that this sets us apart from other companies. Hard copies of compliance documentation is always available in the pump. While electronic copies can be sent through on request. We also offer complimentary pre-pour site visits to ensure the job goes smoothly.
