I am in the process of mounting my line pump on a goose neck trailer. I have seen some sweet setups on here and would appreciate some pictures so i can get a better idea of what to do. I am trying to figure what size trailer to mount it on, where to put the hoses, water tank, and if you mount the pump directly over the axles?

Don't use over a 14 ft gooseneck

heres my trailer pump :) Its a 2003 Ford F550 Super Duty with a 7.3L Turbo Diesel with a Schwing pump integrated on the rear

Wow I like the gooseneck with and ford front end.

Mister Perkins,

           Pto driven?   Where do get the air to switch?  Very Cool.

Thats a nice setup biged.  are you saying 14 foot to the back axle? because i have my eye on a 20' trailer, and its 14' to the back axle, with a 6' dovetail that will be removed.

I had mine built like that at first mine was 18 ft at the rear axles but was having turning problems so I cut the gooseneck off and shorten it by 4 ft then rewelded it back together. My water tank hold 250 gallons,my pressure washer sets under the tank, a tool box up on the gooseneck and a 4,000 watt generator in front of it that is for my night pumping safety I have 1- 150 watt quart light on each corner, it really helps you see after night fall, my pump is setting as low as I could get it maybe 2 inchs above the axle and the axles are 7,000 lb each.  Right now I pull with a 2001 V-10 F-350 4X4, I been looking at buying a new Dodge 5500 crewcab 4X4 Deisel has anybody driven one of these trucks, one reason I like them is they had and Engine Brake.

A question for the truck mounted line pumps are your rigs 4 wheel drive.

@Schwinger.

there is an electronic PTO Box with RPM control in the cab. So you throw it in O/D, pull the Pump Gear on the floor, hit the RPM Control, Set the RPM, and hit the PTO Button and your good to go. The rear panel also has a Wireless Remote wired into it as well so you dont have to stand next to it to operate it.

We had some problems with getting power to the rear panel for a while when we first got it since its all electrical, so we wired a Backup Shift Solenoid cap to a weather safe Electrical Box. Whenever we fail to get power to the rear panel, and its more of a problem than a fuse (such as melting wiring), then we can hook in a 100Ft. Extension cable into the By-pass box, change the shift solenoid cap to the manual by-pass one and finish the job. All in all its a really nice pump.. I really enjoy running it.

@biged

The Ford i run is not 4wd, but it has Low Low on it to crawl through jobs

In many instances I found a trailer a hinderence on comm work.I really like the truck mount,much more versetile.

i agree with that. Its really nice having everything on one unit. My father ran schwing trailer pumps pulled by a commercial truck for years when he wasnt operating a boom and it was a pain moving that tiny trailer around. With everything on one unit, you dont have to guess where the trailer is going because its attached to the rear of your frame!

Since mine is 8 ft wide and 14 ft long its easier to back than a short pump on wheels.

MANY YOU SHOULD STICK TO YOUR ROCKING CHAIR.

looks like you backed over a Schwing trailer pump! hehehe just kidding.

Thats one Looooong trailer :)

Very clean

Long it is,but great looking.I guess it's the years of commercial pumping and simplicity makes me feel that way.The maint on a truck mount is sure less,you don't jack knife,easier to drive on ice/snow,and the list grows.

Who in their right mine wants to drive on ice and snow to pump concrete, Driving in muddy fields is alot better, MANY how much is the rocking chair I think I can mount it where my oppie seats at. 

nice pics CDS...now l will have to spend a week wash'n my line pump b/4 l can take a pic and put it on here.......you got any acid there lol

Once you leave the sun belt, look and see how the rest of us do it (grin)

I think at least that a linepumpingvehicle has a 4X4- drivingaxles. Even if a mixertruck don´t can drive in the clay to the pump - then the extracost for the 4X4 is coffeymoney. If it was the opposite - then would the 4X4-drive-cost bin a drop in the sea.

I have been stuck one time in 5 years and that time a guy was able to pull me out with his backhoe it was winter the ground was frozen at first but later it melted and then mud.

4x4 trucks get stuck in the mud too... If you throw the truck into LowLow, and go slow it helps getting through muddy sites. Worst case is that you will need a bulldozer or skidder to pull you where you need to be. Then same with the redimix (on and off jobs).

Most jobs that are like that though already have something on site such as a bulldozer.

Mister Perkins, you have a piont! But an option to an 4X4 when you buy a pulltruck is appriximately what that pumpjob do in income, that you have to say no thank you to because of there was too much snow or clay. My extra 4X4 on my pullvans to the pumps, costed me 20.000 kr each (about 2500 dollar), but i´ve earn it because of that we have a terrible winterconditions in halfnorth of Sweden - i know that the northtSwedish guy laugh at me when i say that we have very much (1,5 m, about 5 feet) snow in Stockholm in winterseasone. Whith a 2X4-wheeldrived pullvan i´ve have to say no thank you to so many pumpjobs at the winterseasone, that my costumer will seach for another pumpcompany - and it´s impossible for me to afford and build my company to that. That extra cost to get an 4X4 is coffeymoney in the big whole - the key is to make a successful pumpcompany: "do what the naturelawes and the customes wants you to do - if you want to deliver concrete - even if the mole is on the top of Mount Everest". I suppose that it then needs more than a 4X4 - but it is a start....

We own two line pumps. wpt 70 on a 5ton international and a 1000 trailer pulled by a sterling 550 4x4 (same truck your looking at ED).  Hands down truck mounted is the way to go.  smaller footprint on the jobs is the key.  Ice and snow...the tail does not wag the dog.  You can only go as far as the mixer can, throw another hose on and go.  The Sterling is a awesome truck though.

95  Percent of our mixer all 6X6's they can and do get really stuck every year mainly because the contractors are to cheap to rent me, one stuck truck cost for towing is sometimes more than pumping.

Schwinger the Sterling 5500 you have was made by Dodge how does it handle, does it have the engine brake system is your's a crewcab I don't like the extra length but carry  extra people sometimes plus lots of gear.

2006 GMC 7500 with a 2006 Putzmeister 1408 pump

regular cab, 12 foot deck, engine brake and outstanding fuel economy.  Arcoconcreteservice.com click on the pic.

So funny how in some parts of the world they drive their equipment in to almost every hole the customers wants us to. Ever heared of saying: NO, I am not risking this 400.000 dollar machine on your swamp road? Don't these guys know what can happen?

Sorry Dipstick, but a costumer do only understand that the concrete is pouring in their mole. They don´t care about anything else. They are even so dumb that they believe that - if i managed to drive through the clay (4X4) with locked difaxles - "then it´s no problem for a fulloaded mixertruck". But MR Newton do allways do it to a worsejob.

Little International on air-ride w/dump valve.

What is the big tank for? air or water?

Is that 3" hose? Can you pump 3/4" mix though it?

mr crete, you have to be more precisly in your reply, so at least i understand your opinion.

FLOWCRETE FC748H SKIP SKID

Man thats a nice set up for a portable rig, how many of those do you have and who builds them.

Transcrete

This line pump is a 170 cubic metre model, 9 inch cylinders 8 ft stroke, 480
HP diesel, 6 inch hydraulic cylinders, line pressure 170 bar.

Now that pumps cool.

Looks like it could get just about anywhere..... that the redimix cant go. haha

Sweet pumps though! Keep those pics comin!

Are most of those Izuzu truck set ups under the cdl wt.?

Mister Perkins if You can go to the moon you can get the mud to a pump on tracks.... I have seen mixers on forwarders or AD's even on tracks that goes there a man not can walk . We use to deliver mud and pump it in a mixer that are mounted on a forwarder that pour foundations for powerlines in the wood (much retarder in that mud , it can take 2-3 hour between the loads) . I shall ask that operator if he want to take some pic's . The pump with tracks on, they use to have them when pumping for rotary drilling rigs , here in Euroupe . Or some little knuckleboom on it and used for shootcrete in tunnel or mine , the nossle is remote operated , on those I have seen . I like the green pump mounted on a hooklift , very nice ! Is it Transcrete that has build that pump ?

Ive seen pic of those mixers on belts to somewhere VASA.. Maybe here on the site one time??

Ed, How many feet of hose do you carry on your railer?

You done forgot already 300 ft at the present time I got and extra 100 ft of new hose laying in my shop, I got a good price from a company in Nashville of 285.00 for 25 ft of 2 1/2 with heavy duty ends 1200 working psi /2400 psi burst fiber hose  no shipping just sales tax.

Hi guys

biged and vasa   It is a Flowcrete, I cannot find that unit on their web site( www.flowcrete.com.au ) but it is on www.trucksales.com.au go to Category- concrete equipment, sub category - concrete pumps . My company do not any of these Skip skid pump.

Transcrete Patriot P 170 mounted on a 430 HP Mitsubishi via Omsi PTO. Rated output 170M3 per hour.

Transcrete Alpha P35 mounted on a Hino powered by a 70 HP Yanmar diesel.

Digger that P 170 looks sharp send one of those to me it would be very nice around here.

Yes! I would also like to have a linepump that can drive up and down the wall!! 

Transcrete Trojan Trailer pumps in Vietnam. Using on site mixing with pre war mixer.

Suprized to find they produce a good pump mix.

We love our Transcrete. Awesome machine.

Transcrete Trojan with air compressor and hydraulic powered 2,500 psi water blaster.

hey digger, what line pressure is the patriot able of producing?  just asking because i noticed the buttweld bend and reducer  on the the back. 430hp up front, pretty gutsy machine, love the body, nice and neat, every thing hidden with a deck upstairs for the hoses, nice looking rig.

Dont worry about the butt weld i run the same style 90 reducer and pull 4000 psi on the mains daily you will blow a clamp or a hose on the line first.

The butt weld reducers are 1/2 inch wall and heat treated, so they perform well. The Blue rig has 9 inch x 96 inch concrete cylinders with 6 inch hydraulic cylinders on the piston side line pressure can be up to 2,272 psi.

We also have a 6 1/2 option on the piston side that gives 2,577 psi line pressure. All the high pumps come with 2,500 psi water blasters and redio remote blow out systems. We also a hydraulic line shut off valve to close off the vertical 5 inch line so that the sponge ball can be fitted. The side doors fold down to access 15 x 4 inch pipes each side. These pumps have been developed for Sydney central business district high rise pours where the City requires the pump and transit mixer to be off road. They do not allow mixers to wait curbside, so they have to circle the job site. It takes longer to change mixers than to pump a load, that's why they require 170M3 pumps. Most jobs have a tower boom.      

Nice pump. I like the pressure washer option., and color. Is that a Cat engine?

Hey digger, do you have any snaps of a trojan truck mount fully loaded with rubber and steel ?

This pumper used to have a Trojan loaded the same as his present Patriot. He uses the crane to load and un-load hose. Around 8 x 33 ft 3 inch and 2 x 33 ft 3.5 hoses plus a stack of 2 inch.

Too Tall, that grout rig takes the prize. They must have a bundle tied up in that unit.

Great build. What kind of investment is there in a rig like that?

good ole mayco

wash out

I have a friend named BIG ED who luvs those mayco c30's T

Skid mounted Patriot for track mounting by the buyer.

right on crete i love my self best pump i ran im a putz man my self but nuttin beats the mayco i even like there HV pumps to like the ls50 is a real nice pump

the mechanical contractor wheel barrowed 1/2 a yard 30 feet away from the slab we were pumping with a different supplier back in 1988

Watch out crete you maybe using a  alto water tank real soon.

ha ha I knew you would like that T

Hey Ed, i like that c-30. 

Brian there's not much difference with it and your little Schwing, its a maygo breako.

Terry is getting one to when it quits don't call me.

Ed, you can't bag the Mayco C30HD pumps just because a slick salesman sold you the wrong pump for your specific needs ... bag the salesman.

The Mayco C30HD is the best pump ever built for the application it was designed for. Why else would the two Huncrete manufacturers copy it, with all their rooms full of highly paid, so called skilled "design engineers" scoop so low as copy it in 90% of its component and design featurers.

As a manufacturer, I respect that machine and only wish it a continued success.

Aww Ed I know you would take a call from me big buddy.T

heres the 36 not stuck in the mud

bad boy of line pumps

Holy mozes.. That thing is bigger than a 36m boom pump.. What else does it do??

Besides pushing concrete... Lay asphalt??

Hey 440 ski-doo Did you get started on your trailer yet? Terry

yeah she is a big one she is good for over 80 stories high just a little kick lol heres a clip http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKuL4hSIcio

Cool.. You must have seen some strange faces from customers that expect a little line pump to come and pour their driveway...

Let's get back to basics I just bought a line pump and am going to mount it on probably a 16' trailer. I want to see some side views if possible. I see Ed's front of his pump is about even with the front axle. I will put about a 200/250 gal.water tank with a pressure water. Maybe even build a pipe rack for the steel pipe. Terry

Mean't to say the front of Ed's pump is about even the front axle.By the way do many of you even carry a pressure washer? t

You won't use the pipe once you figure out how to pump through small hose. 

As long as you have good rock which is mostly round and dense. Which Wisconsin should have.

Brian I am stuck with 3" hose and pipe right now I have enough of both to  get me stated.I can tell right now that 25' lenghs of hose which came with the pump are a handfull EMPTY.

25' 3'' is to long.. To hard to handle. I have 10' hoses and love those. Easy to empty and pick up on your own. But maybe thats a bit too short I don't know. Maybe 15 feet would work to but 25 is just too much. maybe one 25 ' as endhose is nice to have but the rest should be shorter. (is my opinion)

Terry just make sure you handle the hose right don't throw your back out. Leave the hose on the ground and point with a strap or handle. I made one about 30" long with a tee handle and a flat tee on the bottom in line with the hose then i strap it to the hose with a double tie wire. 

I agree!

This is one awesome pump Putzmeister rocks....lol I mean pumps.....

Nice pump looks like a 25yd "s" tube? 

You are correct I have had people ask me if it is a generator,compressor,mobil welder but the best one was a mini zamboni and I said yes and I was on my way to service an outside hockey rink in the middle of the summer....lol

38Zman what kind of mix are you pumping over the floor heat? Just wondering if they've come up with a new mix that works well for floor heat over wood?

It was 35mpa with fiber nothing special they should have used another product that i pump now and then but I just pump after it comes out of the end of the hose my job is done

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, right on ABC

Well its time, work is slowing down, we have a snowstorm moving in on thursday, and I just bought the goosneck  today.  I will do my best to get pictures posted of the build( if my wife can find the camera). 

Hey 440 I just got a small swing tube pump about a month ago. Getting ready to take the axles off and mount it on a 16' trailer water tank etc.let's stay in touch. T

Got a swing tube or ball valve?

Its a schwing 750-18x its going to be fun trying to get the pump up on the trailer.  Let me know how your build goes, what pump are you putting on the 16 footer?

A Mayco st 30

I dont know who ever build this one up but he was verry smart. Alraedy 100 meter of 3" hose on board and still plenty of room for more equipment. PTO driven 

Here's a B50 that REED's BC Dealer, Canusa, did a while back...

- Mike @ REED Pumps

I would like to see some pictures of how they did that Superdoffer..

Now who would resurrect a 5 year old thread? Click Bait? B

Here's mine Mayco ST30 400' of pipe and hose 250 gallons of water with air compressor and power washer.

Some example from The Netherlands

Another one.
This company also has around 20 pcs of Putzmeister P 715.

And a BSA 1005D with custom made tracks in Belgium

Top one!

3 more from one customer.

Plenty of space to store stuff in the last one!

Hey Superdoffer,
It is a Putzmeister BSA 1405 from 1992.

Yep I have done my home work now. It is original Putzmeister sanima

only bad thing the truck is euro 0, can not go in to the cyties any more.

Nice pump unit for the people that don't like the modern electronics

Here is one of our new models, the CPE570 which is a 50m3 at 70 bar pressure. Super little unit that is customized  for our customers.
