I grease my elbow clamp after every pour. Will get months out of it with it swinging freely and not leaking grout. Needs to be done after every pour though.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

No kidding? And that’s through the grease nipple at the clamp?

[@danieldennigan8093]

Yep, there's 2 nipples either side of clamp. I've greased it intermittently and that's when ya run into problems and the grease ceases up the 90 elbow. Last time I changed that gasket was November and still going strong

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

@@danieldennigan8093 Okay, next time I start with a fresh swivel I’m going to use your suggested method. I had never greased it daily as you suggest, which is probably the critical element/where I went wrong. Great advice. Appreciate you chiming in 🙏🙏🙏

[@danieldennigan8093]

@canadianconcretepumper1979 give the excess grease that comes out of the clamp a wash of to stop it falling on the pump when folding up or on the hose man's head the next day 😂😂

I had that hand brake issue once 13 years ago. Now it's the 1st thing I tell my guys to look for

[@lebarbaretiteuf]

Here in France whe have these certifications for cranes, tower cranes, manlifts etc and whe must redo all the tests every 5 or 10 years. For example i'm certified on wheeled loaders, excavators ( tracked and wheeled), telehandlers, articuled and rigid dump trucks.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

It's a good thing for our industry, in my opinion.

[@lebarbaretiteuf]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979Yes, whe had too much accidents in the past with guys who done crazy things.

[@andrewherbert5043]

I run about 6 washers over the bolt of the prime port clamp so when it starts to strip I can pull the washers and get onto some threads. That buys me a little time to replace the worn parts instead of dealing with stripped out parts.

[@davidmcnearjr8017]

Toilet bowl wax works great on swivel elbows! Last longer than grease

[@yaaseenali415]

Great work always learning something

[@jessesloan9636]

I had the exact same thing happen to me with the hand brake. I called Putz and had them calling mack checking fuses out and the whole 9. When it happens, you'll never forget it ever again 😂 the littlest of things can cause mass panic

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

100% I learned literally the exact same way. You could tell/warn someone a hundred times, but until they've been in the situation, they'd never remember.

[@dannpriebe]

I've learned about the hand brake the same way. Except for me while I was on the phone with Mack a mixer driver waiting to unload got tired of waiting told me to check the hand brake 😅

[@jessesloan9636]

I'm glad I'm not the only one 😂😂😂 if anything I'm hoping out of the cab saying it's a faulty battery. Not a chance I'm telling that mixer driver he had all the answers. Jk jk.

[@196kristianj]

5:27 lol now that’s funny right there 😂 good one keeping it pg 😂

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

It took all of the mature adult in me to hold back there 😂😂😂

[@StainerTheFirst]

Great work as always! Do you guys ever do any work with concrete injected piles?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We do occasionally, but see only a very small percentage of that market share in our area.

[@Siim.Ilistom]

Finally found someone who shares the same opinion about the boom elbow grease nipples. 😂 Been telling the same thing that they are useless since they grease the outside of the seal where is no movement. Since I stopped greasing them regulalry it does seem that the seals last a bit longer. And if they do start leaking and need replacing there is less gunk to clean. Wish the PTO shaft joints would be the same type of deal - so no more crawling under the machine to grease them 😂

Genial lo de la certificación eso es excelente scott es un operador muy bueno con conocimiento y suficiente práctica en campo de construcción un abrazo Scott desde 🇪🇦 segunda compañía más grande del mundo pumping team saludos mi hermano 🇨🇴🤝🇨🇦

love to get a little more info on the 5" ZX wedge clamp. are they available stateside?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

So apparently it’s available from Flowcrete, it of Australia: www.flowcrete.com.au/

[@ThePorkchop81]

How old is that suspended slab that you setup on? 2 months? More?

[@lasu9201]

can you use kick start with hot water?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Typically we’ve just been using the cool water from our pumps.

[@jamessomero3617]

Check the jake brake down by the clutch

[@robertaustin-y7j]

Hey Scott are those your finishers and form Carpenters that are doing the placing and form work

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

But in this one. Our finishers stick strictly placing/finishing residential work as well as light industrial. These commercial placers we work together with in larger scale commercial projects, but remain as separate entities.

[@kevinaase40]

Seems wayyyy to early to be working Saturdays my friend!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We had a good run there with very little Saturday work, seems to be ramping now however.

[@randyanderson1983]

So would dodge be schwing?lol

[@milouzderr]

Someone know the name of the water pistol on the truck ? I need this one on my truck but can’t find it in my country…

[@schu131]

Just to say I was the third one here 😂 Grease nipples are just dumb we just layer up the gaskets on the inside when we change them

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

If you ain't first..... well, you know how the saying goes. Lol!

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Agreed though, grease nipples on clamps are just dumb.

So jealous. My stick is not this big.

If it's any consolation, my favorite pump to run is a line-pump!!! 😀😀😀

I shut my auger off when priming

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I'll toss mine in reverse sometimes to pull that first bit of rocky stuff away from the material cylinders. Most of our mixes are decent enough that we get away without doing so.

[@pietmorees2775]

Hey scott here in Amsterdam 10 pm greetings 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@richardspence2005]

Is it my device or is the quality that poor Scott?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Opening few seconds were shot on my iPhone using digital zoom (results in less than stellar picture quality). The remainder of the video was shot mostly with my regular GoPro and should be same quality as per usual.

[@randallbernard2074]

You could build that clamp to accept the wege

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We were looking at that, but the current clamp does not appear to have the appropriate contour for receiving the wedge.

[@markbailey9384]

But little booms are best let’s be honest

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Honestly Mark, I’ve been loving my little truck-mounted line-pump lately. With most of our mixes being 2” line friendly, it’s just so quick/efficient in terms of jumping job-to-job. I’m betting your guys little 20M, as well as the 32ZZ are little job-hopping missiles as well.

[@markbailey9384]

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 the 20 m is probably my favourite pump in the fleet flat out to in cradle and set back up flat out is sub 10 mins!

[@jamessomero3617]

Why not add it at the shop your slurry no prim port not needed

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

We prefer using the prime-port as there's less mixing between primer and concrete. Also, we get away with using much less primer in comparison to adding it into the hopper. It just works better for us (especially because were typically using bentonite to prime).
