(Sept 08 2015) - Congratulations to Economy Concrete taking delivery in August of their first 2016 model 42 meter DY Concrete Pump. This compact 5 section 42 meter boom is mounted on a single steer front tridem rear drive axle Western Star chassis which is powered by a 470 hp Detroit DD13 engine and a full air ride suspension for super comfort. This chassis meets highway weight requirements and replaces the old style tandem / tandem chassis. One of the best chassis improvements over the tandem /tandem is that all three rear axles are drive axles providing 30 % increase in traction on jobsites as well as lower operational costs compared to the tandem steer chassis. In late August Economy Concrete took delivery of another brand new DY Concrete Pump this purchase being a 37 meter model mounted on a new Freightliner to compliment Economy’s fleet. Darren Doll of Economy Concrete commented “We opted for conventional cab instead of cab over tractor. Our drivers enjoy the better ride, more room and the trucks are an absolute pleasure to drive. The 37 meter 4 section allows us to reach as far inside of shops for placing slabs as our Z boom does. The third section folds to 270 degrees enabling boom placement inside buildings 65ft through standard overhead doors. The finishers love us! With the commercial work in our area, and larger homes being built we also require a reach pump. The 42 meter 5 section meets all our needs and then some. Customers have told us that our competitor’s pump will not reach what our 42 meter DY Concrete Pump does. The customer is always right! The trucks and pumps were spec'd by talking to their expert staff on what our requirements were. The rest was easy. They put everything together for us and even helped with financing. We have been dealing with the guys at DY for about 4 years and can honestly say they know their stuff, and we will continue to deal with them for years to come.” DY Concrete Pumps currently has strategic mounting facilities one located in Georgia, USA and another in Alberta, Canada. Both mounting facilities carry a complete inventory of DY Concrete Pump Parts in stock. Need quick delivery?
