AMAZING Liebherr 38XXT Concrete Pump!!!

Spending a day with the Liebherr 38XXT concrete pump as
it tours North America. In part 1 of this video we walk through the features and benefits of the Liebherr Concrete Pump, including the XXA Stability Assist system as well as the Power-Bloc pumping cell.

Their's alot in the bare bones of that machine that is very well thought out. I also see alot about that machine that could very easily turn a stressful day into an absolute nightmare for someone that doesn't know that machine thoroughly.

[@user-yg6vi7gj3d]

I was close to looking at buying one. After watching this video makes me glad I bought a new putz seems way to complicated. We have to remember enough as an operator!

[@johnnybrophy8229]

The inside of the Truck Cab LOOK'S so Old and basic it reminds me of the Pump's I started on in the 80s I will take the Mercedes Benz and M,A,N we get here in IRELAND and Europe because we have so much more space in the Cab and all the same things you get in the Car's interior like all the screens

I’m from Bellingham. Cool to see you down here!

Was a neat little day trip.

Thanks for having us down for the day. Such beautiful scenery you guys have.

Very nice pump, l bet it pumps like no other piston pump you have been operating 😉 Looking forward to see it in action I been driving a 2014 liebherr since it was new, still drives it today. Have the same kind of display with the outriggers and presure sensors on the supportlegs. But the pump only have degree sensors on the A bom and the turn, the other boms have only magnetic sensors to tell if the boms are open or not. I have to connect a datalogger to disengage the safety system. It still pumps quiet and super smooth like when its was new. Im surprised it dont come with hydrulic hatch under the hopper. Keep up the good work making videos 👍

Lol "my" first water wash was on the phone, with a 65m, after my buddy had a hard spot to pop out into. Used my old timers sayings, plus your "forward 2 strokes, then reverse", and had him pull a sponge after. Don't wanna do it that way again, but it worked. I'll keep my sponges lol I would really like to get my hands on a 47m liebherr. They seem like good units. We have a crane man working for us, and he has nothing but good things to say about em.....

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Their 42-5 would be a weapon in our market!!! Those outriggers along with the stability control would be the absolute cat’s ass for many of our downtown job sites.

Nice Pump,, i drive a Liebherr Pump with 42/5 here in Germany since 1 year❤ is this the Pump from WOC?

[@Dex01-Z_WingZero]

I want one, with a Putz Pump Kit and a Alliance 38 Double Z!👌😌👍

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Okay, so I quite honestly went into this super excited about the outriggers and stability assist, but a little sceptical of the pump kit seeing as it does use an accumulator. After spending the day with it and pumping some concrete (part 2 coming next week), the pump kit is actually the thing which most impressed me about this machine. It is wicked quiet/smooth and will pump along at only 1000 rpm with no problem. That being said, I need to spend some time with the new iLS pump kits from Putz to make an accurate/apples-apples comparison. I have heard those pump kits are also incredibly smooth.

[@Dex01-Z_WingZero]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 yeah my 2024 (that the boss lets me play with) is super smooth! I have the same modes as your high pressure 39. I've pump out a 180m3 chicken barn at the top 1000 rpm setting running 4 to 5 (on the straight aways after the placers get there wet screeds in) and the engine wasn't even strained. My senior operator has the 2023 38rz, he runs the eco mode. I just can't do it, i cringe when that rpm reaches 1200 when the truck isn't working the load need for it.

[@Dex01-Z_WingZero]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 those out riggers are definitely next generation stuff!

[@Dex01-Z_WingZero]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 and it's a clean cut pump kit compared to the 2010's models. Oil filters need to be up right and not side ways. Yeah it was a mess doing the first filter change ☂️😑

[@ryguyteam9311]

The amount of overhang on the boom is crazy. I doubt that would be legal in Australia

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Not uncommon here in the North American market. I ran a 40Z for years which hung both longer and lower than this one. Wasn't all that noticeable during turns (I was expecting it to be much worse).

[@InvincibleAndroid]

Having to lift the boom to wash biggest huddle for me.

[@user-ng2mt2yr1t]

When you first showed the video you didn't say anything about getting to take it out and go pump some mud through it now I want to hear some mud pump through that pipes I want to hear some slapping on those pipes

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

So part 2 (coming next week) we take her out and pump some concrete. Unfortunately, there was no pipe-slapping to be heard is we poured just some residential walls and footings. Another contributing factor to the lack of pipe slapping could be that the pump kit is absolutely wicked smooth!!! You’ll definitely want to check that video out.

[@martinmay91]

Why can't Mack get a new cabin, what's the problem? You have such nice long-hoods in America, but the Cab-over don't look good. Pitt, but otherwise a cool pump. The pump is no different than in Germany.😉

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We are still in the honeymoon phase from the cup holders which they gave us starting in model year 2008.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

They’re actually a very robust truck chassis, just not super comfortable.

Whatever bub! I drive a granite with a putz strapped to it and it is HORRIBLE on construction sites! Mack terra 100%👍

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

@@Dex01-Z_WingZero agreed. I’m a firm believer in concrete pumps being mounted on cabover chassis. Just can’t get down on the whole conventional craze.

[@THESHAODOWCAMPER]

Nice looking pump. But I feel way too many computer components. Every thing has a by pass and that’s fantastic but some times old school basic is king. Will that thing be working in 10 years?? Maybe but with no sensors and less computer and more human

[@stevethomas4095]

Well I don't have any operator's at this point in time that could understand this system.

[@randyanderson1983]

Override time should be like 500hrs so they don’t get called so much

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I am in agreement with you there. I’ve heard rumblings of a possible software update which would allow users to turn off the stability system for times when they are not needing to take advantage of the extended working range it provides.

[@treyblack9736]

The 3-5 degree to even deploy the outrigger deal is dumb.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I fully agree with that statement. Apparently there’s talk of a software update which would allow the electronic stability functions to be switched off with a key. Something definitely needed for our North American market I would say.

[@johnnybrophy8229]

Big Difference from the PUMP'S I started on when I was Young NO REMOTE not even a Cable Remote back then it was Leavers and you had to run it from the deck a SCHWING Gate valve pump and we had a HYDROSEAL and THOMSON and they where Hard Work here in Dublin IRELAND how much things have changed since I started on pump's in the 80s as a Kid. You whould not be allowed to have a kid on a Job today with all the health and safety B,S

[@MaxCrete]

over engineered....seems built to please a owner for a less educated crew... not trying to put anybody down...an operator needs less tech as possible and reliability...Liebher should try a more analog approach.....make it operator friendly....my opinion

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

It’s an interesting conversation for sure. As an operator, this short-rig system opens up an entirely new world of possibilities. That being said, as an owner, it’s probably not a machine you could toss just any operator onto with the expectation that they’d be able to fully utilize all of the features. I LOVE this pump for me, but in all fairness, I’m also a ginormous pump nerd whom embraces most of the techy type stuff. I’d happily ride off into he sunset with 36 meter, 5 section RZ version of this same pump.

​@canadianconcretepumper1979 as an old timer-years/miles, not age- that can be said for most of the newer tech. Youngsters see sonething, and don't know what goes into making it work/happen. The kids these days, they just don't want to hear their way was our f-ups from 20 years ago...
