Hi guys, I have been in the concrete industry in the UK for about 15 years, just bought myself a little line pump, but to be fair i have little idea what i am doing (although i am learning every day) Just thought i would take this oppertunity to say hi, and apologies in advance if i ask any daft questions! Kyle UK

good luck man most of us on her own a little pump some places are booming and outhers aint good luck and hope to here form ya soon

hi pal i have a line pump in the uk as well, dont know what side off the industry you have been in but if you need any help give me a shout , dont know if you have pumped before i had not up to 2 years ago , its a steep learning curve

hat part of the uk are you from, and what did you buy? stick some photos on here, as for the silly questions -dont worry about it just ask away, its all part of the learning curve!!

Learning curve is big find you some good mix designs and stay with them, batch plants don't think pumpers no anything if they would just listen, our job would be easy, and don't be affaid to stand up for what you need, cause the customer no's nothing about pumping and you are between the mixer truck and the placing crew,and if it want pump you and only you will get the blame, what size hose are you pumping threw.

Your pump is it a S-tube or Ball valve. 

Hi again, I was in the readymix side of the industry, but thought it was time for a change. I am in northamptonshire. The pump is a mecbo pulsar 2007 (i think)mounted on an iveco daily chassis. im pretty sure its a s-tube. i have only been going about 5 weeks but i am learning on every job. the pic aint great but its all i have at the moment!

oh and also i am running 4" pipes

You'll get the hang of it before you know it. Just remember to learn everyday your doing it. Prime fast, Suck back slow. All else fails water is your best friend. Dont be scared to use alot of it.
