Concrete Pumps For Hire

The right pump depends on the scale of the project, the volume of concrete required, and how accessible the pour location is.

Boom pumps use a hydraulically operated articulated arm to place concrete at height, over obstacles, or across distance, and are typically the preferred option for multi-storey builds, sites with restricted access, or where concrete needs to be delivered over walls, structures, or other obstructions. The LGW Group’s boom pump fleet ranges from 21 metres to 62 metres of vertical reach, covering everything from small commercial builds to large-scale developments.

Line pumps, also known as boomless pumps, are more compact and use pipework laid across the ground, making them suitable for confined sites, interiors, and underground works. Our line pumps can transfer concrete up to 100 metres vertically and 200 metres horizontally, discharging mixes of S2 consistency and above directly from ready mix delivery vehicles.

For projects with more complex access or specification requirements, our team can assess site conditions and recommend the most efficient pump configuration.

Yes. Our boomless line pump is designed for exactly this type of restricted access application. Ground pipes can be laid through a building, basement, or other confined space to deliver liquid screed or ready mix concrete precisely where it is needed, without the disruption of routing a boom pump around or over the structure.

This approach is used across residential refurbishments, commercial fit-outs, and infrastructure projects where internal or underground access is required, and where minimising disruption to the surrounding structure and site is a priority.

Concrete pumping offers a number of advantages over traditional placement methods. The most significant is speed: a pump can place concrete considerably faster than manual methods such as wheelbarrows or skips, reducing programme time and labour costs on site.

Beyond speed, pumping also improves consistency and quality, since concrete is placed continuously rather than in batches, which helps to reduce the risk of cold joints and uneven curing. It reduces manual handling on site, supporting a safer working environment, and minimises mess, waste, and site disruption, which is particularly valuable on projects with restricted access or tight programmes.

For contractors managing complex or large-scale pours, these efficiency and safety benefits translate directly into reduced project risk and more predictable delivery.

A boom pump uses a mechanically operated, articulated arm mounted on a truck to place concrete at height and across distance, making it well suited to multi-storey builds and sites where obstacles need to be reached over. The LGW Group’s boom pumps offer a vertical reach of between 21 and 62 metres.

A line pump, by contrast, is smaller and more compact, using flexible pipework laid across the ground or through a building rather than a mechanical arm. This makes it the better choice for confined sites, interiors, and underground applications, with a reach of up to 100 metres vertically and 200 metres horizontally.

Choosing between the two comes down to site access, the height and distance concrete needs to travel, and the overall scale of the pour. Our team can advise on the most suitable option for your project.

The LGW Group operates a large fleet of concrete pumps to suit projects of varying scale. Our concrete boom pumps offer a vertical reach of between 21 metres and 62 metres, making them suitable for everything from low-rise commercial builds to multi-storey and large-scale developments. Our line pumps can transfer concrete up to 100 metres vertically and 200 metres horizontally, making them well suited to confined sites, interiors, and underground applications. Our team can help match pump specification to your project’s access requirements and pour volume.

The cost of concrete pump hire depends on a number of project-specific factors, including the size and scope of the pour, the type of pump required (boom or line), the volume of concrete or screed being placed, and how accessible the site is. Larger commercial or infrastructure projects typically require greater manpower, machinery, and time, which is reflected in overall cost, while restricted site access can also increase the resources needed to complete the pour safely and efficiently. For an accurate quote based on your specific project requirements, contact our team, who can assess the scope of works and confirm the most cost-effective pump solution.

Yes. All concrete pump hire from The LGW Group is supplied with a trained, experienced operator as standard. This ensures the pump is set up, operated, and maintained safely and in line with current health and safety and industry guidance throughout the pour, giving contractors and site managers confidence that the equipment is being handled by a competent professional at every stage of delivery.

The LGW Group provides concrete pump hire across the South of England and Wales, supporting residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects throughout the region. A full list of the areas we cover can be found on our areas we cover page. For projects outside this footprint, contact our team to discuss availability.

Yes. Concrete pumping is particularly well suited to large-scale commercial, civil engineering, and infrastructure projects, where volume, programme, and site access constraints make manual placement impractical. The LGW Group’s fleet, ranging from smaller line pumps to high-reach boom pumps, is scaled to support everything from single commercial units through to complex, multi-phase developments. Working alongside our wider group capability in ready mix concrete and liquid screed supply, we can support contractors and developers with an integrated, reliable delivery solution across a project’s full concrete programme. Examples of projects we have supported can be found in our case studies.

Concrete pumping is subject to strict health and safety requirements, and The LGW Group’s operations are carried out in line with current industry guidance, including that set out by the Concrete Pumping Association (CPA). All pumps are operated by trained, competent personnel, supported by regular equipment maintenance and pre-pour site assessments to identify and manage risks such as ground conditions, overhead hazards, and access constraints. This focus on compliance and risk management supports safer sites and more predictable project delivery for our contractor and developer partners.

Yes. The LGW Group’s concrete pumps are equally suited to placing liquid screed and ready mix concrete, using the same boom and line pump fleet depending on site access and reach requirements. This makes it possible to coordinate screed and concrete delivery through a single, integrated supply and pumping service. Further detail on our screed offering can be found on our liquid screed contractors page.
