could not setup on the sidewalk as it was still green, had to stack up some pads in the tree well instead, and make several moves...

You could of done with one are Putz 16's there legs only go straight down and not out. Brilliant for tight job's

Interesting set up ,Im surprised you didnt have problems since you did not extend your passenger side rear outrigger ? Could have ended like this picture

This looks like  a job for a smaller pump for sure, heck they could have even done it simply from the mixer truck .

It was fun looking these pics over, thanks for adding them

that is a small pump and his outrigger is out

is this truck a 28z putz ? If so you are correct as the rear outriggers do not extend only drop down. I was thinking of a schwing 28 and the rear outriggers do extend out about 18 inches, thats why I made that statement above. Thanks for the correction.

no biggie, if you look closely in the one pic, you can see that it is down

I'ts a 24m Z boom. Front outriggers go out and down.Rears go down on about a 60 degree angle.Boom Inspector why hump it if you can pump it? Cat your wright 20m putz would have been perfect there but the extra 4m comes in handy on all our other jobs.

"could have done it from the mixer truck"...... Hey, hey.... shhhh..... "could have line pumped it" would be much more politically correct thing to say on this site LOL

Nice to see you working.But why are they pumping that?Can't they dump out of truck?

Just wondering

Ruck, to answer your question... A: there was about 40 yards of concrete placed on that pour, most of which was on a downhill grade which would not be much fun to tailgate with three chutes hanging of the mixer on a downslope B: when you figure the cost of an extra raker and guy to operate the chute, plus the extra time for the other six placers and finishers to be there in total, I'm not so sure the contractor would be saving any money, C: the segment in the attached photo, was right in front of a bus stop, meaning no way a ready mix truck would be allowed to setup shop there for any length of time... And because I know there may be some sharp eyes out there that are going to ask..... the bus wires are 20 ft. from the boom, even though it looks much closer because of the angle the photo was shot at... and although short-rigged on the front end, no the boom was not slewed beyond the fully deployed passenger side outrigger

Ruck you are right thinking like that but no one in my area would have got a pump job like that it would have been poured out of the mixer cause most of ours are front discharge.

why don't we ask the readi-mix driver what he wants!

 Up here in the great NW everyone's so pump spoiled they even pump curb & gutter.

 That job there is the perfect example of much more efficient it is to pump your concrete. Had it been truck poured there would be twice the mess, the mixer would have been out in the street at one time or another requiring a lane closure, flaggers etc.

 Those little back outriggers like Rucks, I call'em "down riggers" because there aint no "out" about'em! 

Thanks. That makes sense.It's money in your pocket.

Great pictures also.
