I am a local vol. fireman and I have seen redi mix trucks dump into portable tanks before, they can dump a load of water almost instantly

Well crete if you are intersted and thats something new for you i would like to help you if you think thats a good thing.

are you sure that is a concrete pump? i believe schwing still makes fire equipment. could be wrong though. just like Putz makes a plane washer

 I saw a 31m Schwing that was set up to put out fires? Man it sure would be easy to pump just water! The nozzle attached to the tip of that pump looks like an Exxon Valdez beach washer.

Good thing when your out of tanker trucks and the local rm plant volunteers as many truck as needed. Especially if it were your property.

Well crete if you are intersted and thats something new for you i would like to help you if you think thats a good thing.Please explain ,as I am not as literate as you are my friend.

Hi crete you wrote,"I am a local vol. fireman and I have seen redi mix trucks dump into portable tanks before, they can dump a load of water almost instantly" nothing never mind.

The problem is that water is thiner than concrete.

10/4 big buddy I have seen it done one  hundred times. How do you think I wash the belts off of a telebelt? Pure water up and out, Are u really some high school kid posing on the site?

Hi crete good to hear from you i knew it would not take long. Last month as i was on a job, helping out a guy, i was washing the telebelt with a 32 Putz. Worked great.

I believe that's a pump as the boom pipe is attached and correct me if I'm wrong the fire trucks had a different set up.

Oh yes its a concretepump.

For me stuff like that is great many. Really, imagine where mankind have been 100 years ago.

Le France a USA fire engine manufacturer built booms for

Allentown Pumpit in the early 70's for their concrete pumps. There was a recession in 1973/75, so they Le France would take on any contract. When business picked up, they forgot Allentown. So what you have is back to the future stuff. When you consider a 170M3 pump cell with new tight wear parts ....... nothing like it, provided you can keep the water up to it.

Stick a 2023 in the back of it , i would love to see their faces on site when you pull up with that.

Todd , think you might need to send these guys some stickers!!!!
