I also posted pictures of the best pump paint job. Todd Bullis

Ok, I saw what i want ! I Want That Cat Scooter ! Id b da Bad Boy on the block ! Woo Hoo !( Can you show the mixer driver where the pump is ? )

did you find the easter egg??? in one of the pictures? Todd Bullis

Ya , Id like to see it too, I need one of those bad boys to cut my moves down to about 5 per day. ;p( Can you show the mixer driver where the pump is ? )

I would rather see the weight slip than the picture. And as far as the five moves in one day; well, that would take up 5 hours. NO JOKE>

Bob drove it back from vegas and scales had no problem what would you like to know about the weight slip. it was permited while it was still in the factory. its the only one west of the mississippi river and one out of four in the us. how does that not interest you or deserve a picture. furthermore i guarentee you i can move it faster than a 58. Further more bob the wight slip was in the front window and was availible for a picture.

I finally looked at the picture you were refering to. That is one slick, trick boom,,,,,,,,,,,,, but that set-up and pour should have, in my estimation, never been done. Sometime before the boom hit the powerlines I am sure the mixer driver would let the hopper run low and cover all of those cars parked next to the pump; so when the boom does hit the line there would be bodies all over the place. Mixer driver, mad people with concrete cars, and the insurance man for the contractor would all be toast. We should NOT have that photo on our website, unless it is in the hall of shame. :blush:Good company, bad judgement call.This message was edited by Bob on 1-23-06 @ 11:21 AM

We do promote safety. This picture was sent to us and I look forward to hearing more about it. Stay safe everyone.[img]http://concretepumping.com/emedia/2006/jan/images/Brothers.jpg[/img] Todd BullisThis message was edited by Todd on 1-24-06 @ 9:30 AM

casper that idea is only being tossed around. the truck still has a few thousand pounds before its over weight. A truck carrying supplied and tools is no different then how big cranes operate. Pumps are going in the direction of cranes. It may sound like a pain in the ass but in years to follow that may be the way all big pumps operate for weight purposes.

Boy the CROW sure tastes good this morning , time we all had a bite; I was able to track down the operator that did the two pours in the picture above and he sent me an email this morning explaining the facts; WE were wrong in our assumptions to jump the gun;First; What we don

Good job guys. Todd Bullis

wow i cant believe this one you know with that picture alone shows me i wouldnt work for brothersbecause as an operator i know pumps goof up the power was on if the boom has stuck in a left swinf or and up that is still nuts i had a mixer driver look at me one day and Larry you have the rest of your life to do it i will give it to them they took a lot of precautions but i would really like to know how many operators out thier would do that and how many owners would sign thier name on the bottom of the page for doing it. one ut oh and all the engineers and power people would say you bought it . unbelievable Larry

I thought we put this one to bed but I guess not; Accumulator; line pumping this pour or even the footing would be a disaster first you would have to get scaffolding built for over a hundred feet of wall that looks to be at least 10 inches thick and 10-12 feet off the ground. This in northern Alberta so the mix will be at least a 28-35 MPA freeze thaw mix with 1.5-2.5 stone so that rules out using 2

How many trailer pumps do you think are sold every year?I have said my bit about the set-up.I have been doing this a while. There used to be ONLY trailer pumps. Yes, booms are easier by far, but grab easy in one hand and a powerline in the other. I never worried about powerlines when I ran a trailer pump.And none of the pump operators I know are electricians. ACPA SAYS 17 FEET MINIMUMMy last word on the subject...........

I knew I wouldn

This is exactly what i mean about a world wide code of practice & safty regulations for the concrete pumping industry1. Down here it is illegal to walk walls or columns 2.There for the walls in question would be no drama for a line pump as they decked out & SAFTY RAILS 3.Hydralics can do funny things at times new or older pumps only need one fault with the hydralics & the boom is in the power lines & every body is fried where is the safty there 4. In Australia if absolutly have to use a boom under or inside the safe work zone of power line ,The builder has to apply to the power company for a parcial disconnection of the power to which the power company will place isolators either end of the pour area safe for all concerned ,this is the only time a boom will be used even then we still have to sight the work order & disconnection papers . costly to the builder but cheap in the long term with no loss of lives or costly insurance claims The sooner we get a world wide code of practice & safty regulations the safer it will be for all , at the moment there are to many gray areas from state to state country to country lets all work together & get our industry out of the dark ages ,ps Marcus i think your training school is a step in the right direction all the best with it & good luck G!DAY FROM AUSSIE

Hello Rookie;What we did here at the office is take the shot and blow it up about 500%, and then what we did is lay over a transparency with what we thought were the best two foot intervals lines that we could come up with based upon the pole in the foreground of the shot. In simple terms we took a measurement from the picture of two parts of the power pole. There is a set of struts below the first power lines that are 24
