SCHWING ANNOUNCES TELESCOPING BOOM CONCRETE PUMP 2001

Telescoping boom versatility combines with operational ease to provide maximum utilization with the new S 31 HT. This is the concrete pump that is really two machines in one. In low overhead situations the boom needs only 18'9" unfolding clearance to provide 87-feet of horizontal reach. The 15'2" of smooth telescoping action with Auto-Scissors pipeline allows the operator to keep the boom in the operational zone and utilize 545 degrees of slewing action to keep the end hose above the pour and cover a wide area. The boom utilizes a patented method of extending the pipeline as the boom telescopes. With this method, the pipeline extension does not affect overall height when using the telescoping first section.

On conventional pours the telescoping action provides precise placement in wall forms and ICF forms. When pouring in front of a laser screed, the telescoping action is particularly convenient with its simple forward and back one level joystick motion that does not affect end hose height.

When placing inside the second level, simply point and shoot - the telescoping action gives added confidence to operators when they boom in with one lever motion. No need to adjust multiple boom sections or rely on complicated boom position sensors to stay within the operating zone - one lever motion does it all.

Backing up this smooth boom operation is the Generation III pump kit with up to 170 cu.yds/hr. output available. This is the most refined pumping system available with quiet, smooth operation at all speeds. The twin cylinder pumping cylinders are sequenced by the exclusive Schwing Rock Valve - the most popular valve used today with the lowest cost per yard in maintenance costs.

For single pump owners, or as an addition to a fleet, the S 31 HT has it all - boom reach, versatility and the ability to perform in tight situations.
