It would be nice for a contractor to have inplace on a jobsite. It would save much guesswork about where to wash out. This is however not a tool for the pumper. Cleanout spots are the responsibility of the contractor. The Prime-a-Pack washout bag is the solution for the pumper in trouble or without a washout spot. You can carry one all folded up in your tool box for that time when it is needed. When you use it, just put it on your ticket and get the contractor to pay for your solution to his problem. ;)

As with most products, improvements are made with user input. We are no exception to that and in fact, have encouraged users to provide feedback in an effort to continue providing the best available product to the market. There are several factors that can and will have an affect on the performance of our box of which proper placement on the jobsite and maintaining the approach to the box are the most critical. The ground must be level or if a sloped placement is necessary, the ramps must be pointing down the slope, not up. We have found this to be the most critical issue. The superintendent must monitor and maintain the area surrounding the box, especially the approach. The box and approach to the box should be checked towards the end of every pour to make sure the approach has not been compromised to the point where the pump will have difficulty backing up or onto the box. If the ramps are dug into the ground some pumps will have difficulty backing up on the box. Usually, with little effort, the approach can be re-graded thereby allowing the pump to access the box.We have addressed the problem of some pumps not being able to back up onto the box by providing ramp extensions (see above photo with ramp extensions on the original box), re-designing the box by reducing the ramp angle which created some extra space between hoppers and the ramps and created a wheel stop. When the ramp extensions are used in conjunction with the re-designed box, we have not found any pump, up to this point, that has difficulty accessing the box. For the longer pumps, we have designed an XL version that drops the ramps even more, making for an even flatter approach. If your pumps are having difficulty backing on to the box, please inform our distributor or the jobsite superintendent of the need for ramp extensions. If you don
