How a concrete pump can help save you time and money

20th May 2019

When it comes to time-efficient concrete delivery, you can’t beat a concrete pump. A concrete pump can help you slash labour costs and stay on track.

Using a concrete pump for your commercial, or even DIY project, can have huge benefits that override the initial cost of hire.

Save time

Think about how fast you can transport and lay ready mix concrete by hand and compare it to the capability of a concrete pump. For example, our largest 62m boom pump can pump concrete at a rate of 180m3 per hour. That’s much faster than you would be able to achieve by hand, and since you only have a window of around 2 hours to lay your concrete before it becomes unworkable, being time efficient is key.

Reduce labour costs

Particularly if you have a large amount of concrete, when delivering concrete to the site via wheelbarrow you’re going to need a lot of people to get the job done; you’ll also need to pay them for their time. Labour costs can really mount up when you go about a construction project this way. Alternatively, a concrete pump can do the exact same job, in much less time and for less money. 

Hiring a concrete pump from The LGW Group is the best way to help slash time and labour costs during your next concreting project. Our concrete pumps come with a fully qualified driver, who will have the experience to ensure that your project goes smoothly.
