If you are a 3x and you send me something cool I have a ConcretePumping.com tee shirt I will send you.

Has to be cool or something different that I have not seen before. Some old pictures and or bad set up or something like that.

Send to todd@concretepumping.com

Todd, I just sent you a few pics to the email adress that you have on here, Hopefully I did it right and you get them.

Todd did the pictures I sent a week ago of a 3100 yard pour show up.

I miss seeing Brians pump on here.

Brian became a cop and than I heard he quit and now I dont know what he is doing.

I was just talking about his Brian's 42 meter this morning after someone gave me shit for waxing my pump. He had the best looking pump that has actually pumped concrete I have ever seen.

Barr none,1st class

does any one have a pic of it dont think ive seen it..i think 16cell has the nicest/cleanest pump ive ever seen

I saved one on my computer a while back because I was so impressed but I don't have an internet connection on that comp right now. I'm sure somebody has one somewhere.

Check out Brians Profile " OE Local 3's" and you will se pic's of his clean pump .

Here is brians profile

Have anybody a chance to take a pic of that pump now , and see if it is in the same shape ?

I would bet it looks nothing like it did.

give me a few days

that is a very clean pump..id like to see his an 16 cell side by side in person def. the 2 cleanest pumps ive ever seen

No one can touch Brian his machine was spotless even in the hooper not 1 piece of build up but nice clean metal. even his tip hose and reducer was cleaner then alot of pumps lmao. I saved alot of his pics i like to look at them from time to time.

I only start wondering if its worth the stress and work to keep it so clean. Isn't it a work horse? Can't be good for the heart if you run a pump and you don't want it to get dirty.

But I am impressed though. Just not my cup of tea.

I'm with you 58,too much sillyness,but I like a clean helm...Todd,I would send you pictures but I need your billing information first.

Thanks guys !

Brian,hope this means your back.Always loved your pic's.

....now theres a pump

im with schwing58..i believe in a clean pump an i keep mine very clean an i even keep it waxed an wheels polished  but i couldnt take it if i keep it that clean an had to pull in a muddy jobsite or when everybody talks about how clean it is an then has to rub the dirty hands on it id have a stroke but to each his own its a beautiful pump

Wow.. Is it wise to post this?? Not very high voltage I assume??

Hey Beetle Bailey how close are you to those wires?

For as far as I know the rules are that you should stand so far from the lines that even when you have the boom streched out completely in the direction of the lines you still have 5 meters or 17 foot distance. so it doesn't matter actualy what distance you keep here.. If this was high voltage its totaly wrong. Duno what this is. Or they might be shut down??? Trying to trick us maybe??

This is quite an extreem one to todd!!

Wow,that is wild.I always hate to see equipment destroyed like that,hope the driver was ok.I have search high and low for pic's that I had over the years,not to be found.

I already overloaded todd with pics. I believe there is a t'shirt on the way to Norway already :-) I told him he could post them all on the site if he wanted.

I asume you guys have seen this complete idiot??

Jezus ! Some truckdrivers realy never use their mirrors. Look at the people walking on this bridge!!

Something old you said??

Wowww beetle. This looks a lot like the powerlines you are working around :-o

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cXclbtVZV3U

And you guys let me have it ???? Way too close to those power lines!!!!!

they look closer than they are I keep my 17ft mim just made the hoseman work alittle harder but he went home that day

I don't think you understood the 17 feet rule completely. Its like I explained above. So that if the whole pump would tip over (or a hyd. cilinder would brake !!!) you still don't hit the lines. 

At least thats how I learned it and that's how they explained it again at the last safety course I took some months ago. This is actualy very wrong.

I must admit I don't always stick completely to the rule but this would go to far for me. Not saying this to bash you but it seems like you want to do it right and you believe you do but you actualy don't..

If that's the case dipstick then a ton of the pics we have seen on here have been the "wrong" way. The ACPA rule is to maintain at least 17' from the wires and do not boom over them. If you had to make sure the boom would not hit them in case of a tip over you would have to sit 80' away from them.... that's why we use outriggers and dunnage to keep them upright.

Just telling you what i've learned. And what says on the safety label and instruction book of my putz. Is there any expert or safety instuctor on the site that knows how it realy is??

And like I said.. A hydro cylinder might break. I just experianced it. It happens quite often. Imagine what a disaster that would be if your boom fals over the lines. But I might be wrong. Or maybe the rules in Norway are more strict (for once)

I've been looking on the net to find some more info about it but it seems quite hard to find anything. But we had a long discusion about it at that safety coorse I followed. And that it was almost impossible to follow the rules. (exept if you come with a much smaler pump and move a round a few times.) Ill take a look at the manual again tomorrow, Maybe I'm wrong. Or maybe it's just a recomendation sticker.

And the instructor we had wasn't the biggest expert i think. (although he thought so himself ;-)

I'm not doubting you at all dipstick. But it would be nearly impossible to do alot of jobs with a boom pump if you followed that rule. Same goes for setting up cranes. Imagine a 300' tall Crane. It would have to be at least 300' away from wires to keep from hitting them if catastrophe struck.

I double checked it. Its actualy like I said, At least... That's what putz and schwing prescribe..

It is actualy quite an important issue for us operators and also owners because with this rule the manufacturer is not responsible for any dammage to powerlines when his machine fails. So if a boom would come down due to a mistake of the manufacturer he can never be responsible for dammage to the powerlines and all the consequenses that follow (loss of lives etc) because the pump should never be able to fall on the lines whatever happens. (unless it was picked up by a tornado ;-)
