This is no joke, this is not something I photo chopped either (I promise!) This is a Zoomlion "self propelled, concrete boom pump" Obviously a Chinese manufacturer because no one else could fit in this cab?  Yes it's bass ackwards! It's kinda like an Oshkosh Pump?

Too Tall,

You could always cut a hole in the roof. I am not sure if it would be road legal in the US? Seems to be a few blind spots! Then after you back it into position on site. Imagine how much concrete splatter you would have on your windshield for the ride home. The designer must be using the latest cad tools or something, In Cert, Cab, chassi, boom pump, then hit configure. Oops! Looks like buying Cifa was a smart decision!

TT, This is a special application pump for sure as you well know. I have seen the Zoomlion pumps mounted on traditional cab over trucks. Needs some updating for sure. But structurally sound, simple machine and they seem like they are making effort to enter the market respectably. WOC there will be some interesting things come out of CIFA/Zoomlion. I have seen and heard some very positive things from this group coming out of ITALY. Could be very interesting and positive. Lets see what happens in the next few weeks and months.

I know Tom, I gotta have some fun though. This pump was designed for elevated highway and railway construction. They make truck mounted pumps as well. I agree, they are here respectably as manufacturers and not as pump companies!

I have to admit I have seen pink elephants and was once abducted by a ufo.I couldn't imagine coming to work after a good glow,climbing into that one.Maybe that's why coffee is now my drink of the day.
