First big pour with the new placing-boom!!! And a quick, on-site fix for the 47Z:

[@artchadsey5826]

The throttle foot valve in our 08’ Mack cab was also non applicable in PTO mode, until we changed some perimeters in the computer software. We had our local Mack dealer make that adjustment. When you utilize the 5” flex hose/bull hose, to connect to the slick line, is there an application set up, to where you’ll switch up the 5” snap clamp to the 5”- 2 bolt clamp.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Hey Art! That’s funny, because our pump which specifically comes to mind (our 58Z) is also on an 08 Mack. From factory, the throttle pedal was inactive when running in PTO mode, then randomly (or perhaps not so randomly from what you saying) after a dealer software update we were able to throttle up via the foot pedal. My personal opinion is that all concrete pumps should have the option of pedal controlled throttle while in PTO mode, definitely comes in handy when trying to limp through a job. I’m going to look into having this perimeter set for all of our rigs. Solid info my man. Thank you 🙏

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

With regards to the double-ended 5” hose. We really only use them for low-pressure pumping (85 bar or less), so the metric snap-clamps are usually sufficient. We have had in the past used a double-ended hose which is metric flange on one end and heavy duty on the other. From what I recall this was simply for the purpose of not needing to also implement a metric-heavy duty adaptor when connecting up 1/4 wall slick-line.

Really enjoy the troubleshooting vids.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

As much as it sucks to have these glitchy little types of problems pop up on large pours like this, it sure did make for some solid content! 😀😀😀

Scott bendiciones mi hermano excelente video que belleza ese RS muy bien lo del arreglo de la unidad hay veces que me apasado pero salimos de esos problemas jaja genial amigo

[@GRUBB-MUDD]

Weird, some1 left a flat shovel on my video too today where I was getting ready to pour. hmm thats odd, anyways lets go... btw you are doing great man!! i have a question as im watching the rest of the video, can u pump anything else through a concrete pumo besides concrete and or cement products. have u ever heard of aome1 pumping water or anything other than the norm.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I actually have. We have a cable suspension bridge here in Vancouver and it has issues with the cables icing up during the winter months and dropping bombs down onto traffic. They had experimented using a 58 meter boom pumping de-icing solution through a nozzle which was attached at the tip. Don’t quote me on all the details, this was 10+ years ago now from what I recall.

If what I heard was true, concrete pumps were also used to pump water in Japan to cool down the nuclear power plants after the tsunami a few years back.

@@canadianconcretepumper1979 I thought there was a Putz involved but I wasn't sure.

I once had a customer ask me if I could pump 3/4” bark with my trailer pump. Haha he said maybe we can soak it in water and send it through! Hahaha I cried laughing after I hung up with the guy of course.

[@francodeiuliis1562]

Should there be a safety cable where the hose meets the pipeline?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Purpose of the safety sling is to support hoses/reducers from the boom in the event that a clamp or coupling fails and prevent them from falling on personnel working below. That being said, it certainly wouldn’t hurt to use a sling between the flex-hose and hardline, but I would not say it is necessary. Perhaps something we’ll get in the habit of doing however 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@نادرخالدی-ض8ك]

Dear friend, hello, have a good time. I had a technical question from you, how fluid should the concrete for the pump be so that the pump does not have problems? Or in other words, how much is the slump? Thank you

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

It really depends on several factors in the mix design. We have some mixes which are able to be pumped at a 40mm slump (comes out of the discharge hose looking like toothpaste), and others which pump like tomato soup. Generally speaking, the better your materials (sand/stone/cement) the more dry it can be pumped through the machine.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I have a video coming up this week in which we pump the material about as dry as you’ll ever see.

Rakes are the absolute worst! 😂😂😂

I've had to do that before (the rpm issue)

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

Surprising how common of an occurrence these throttle related issues actually are. Definitely nice to have that option of manually controlling it with the foot pedal while switched into PTO mode.

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

I miss my first pump ever (1988 Putz 32M), it had a knob in the cab which mechanically actuated the throttle through a cable.

[@BrandonGarbage23Trucks247]

What are they building here?

[@canadianconcretepumper1979]

This an addition to an existing hospital. Only goes 8 floors above ground level but access is quite limited, which is why we opted to go with the placing-boom.
