 Pump On man! It just goes to show that you dont need a million dollar machine to make a living. I'll bet that ole sqeezer has paid for its self hundreds of times? If she were mine I'd call her my "main sqeeze"!!!

SQUEEZIE'S, the original "been there, done that" concrete pump, have destroyed the egos of many piston pumps over the last 5 decades, lucky to acheive 30 bar line pressure but have placed concrete in all types of environments. i recall a story of one placing a slab 17 stories up and i have seen a photo of about 14 squeezies placing about 2800 yards in perth back in about the early 70's, maybe some lurker here may have a copy of the pic. i have always believed that your not a concrete pumper untill you CAN pump with a squeezie, rubber does rock, hey MR WIBAU
