MY question is why??? Acessibility doesnt appear to be an issue.

Slinger,

The explanation was that there is an uneven/unlevel spot behind the pump that is placing the crete and the R/M trucks have a much better shot at the 32 on the flat.

JT,

Good job on the photos.  I usually leave the safety stuff for Bob. Put please think about putting on a safety cinch sling. been many of lawsuits and folks hurt out there. Is that a double ended hose? If it is definately use a rag, you get hose whip and your asking for trouble! Again great shots.

The 32M was my pump, I thought he had a saftey sling on, but i was on bottom for most of the pour. we had 2 way radios. The reason for the double ended hose is that we couldnt reach the whole pour so we had to put on 2 hoses. we usually run cut off tip hoses. If you look at one of the pictures you can see the 42m pumps hopper is level with the top of my cab.

Only takes a minute to change that double end out to a rag, do it all the time, or its my job on the line ! Dont be afraid to tell the other Operator about SAFETY !

Do I see 14 placers in one of those pics?!?!? Wow, that is 2 large crews for us.  We did 700 Meters of suspended the other day with 6 placers, 2 finishers and 1 pumper.  And that is normal.  Good pics by the way.
