Hey guys, just a couple of questions if I may. My father and I run a small concrete pump business in Sydney Australia and we were thinking about upgrading our pump. There isn’t really anything wrong with our pump in fact it runs well and is very reliable especially when you consider its 32 years old. The problem is that mixes here in Sydney for last few years are getting worse and worse more man made materials and more recycled materials. So as a solution we are considering a more powerful pump, currently our unit is about a 30 y3 per hour output was thinking more along the lines of a schwing wp1000x. Was just wondering if any of you have operated a unit similar or like this and what you think of them reliability power cost etc. thanks in advance

Here a photo of our pump when we did a big rebuild a few years ago

You cant go wrong with a wp1000, good pump. I would definateley mount it on a truck, just like the one you have; key is to maintain it

 gbooms right, the upgrade wont hurt you and you will really enjoy the pumps performance. Just remember shit mixes are always a problem, you might have to invest in some larger pipe and hose too.

I love the 1000 trailer pumps. nice rigs for sure

G'day mate,

if you're looking for an SPT1000, why don't you give Schwing a call?

I would.

Good luck

Hey thanks for the response. Yes if we would definitely have it truck mounted also as for line size, we always use 4" pipe with 3" hose as the mixes are mainly large rock for all jobs for all small pumps here. Only for block mix or difficult access do we use a 2" hose. Most concretors here don't like small hose mix as it cost more and tends to crack more often, so 3" rubber it is for probably 85% of all work done
