a dead cat threw a 28m plus 300feet of 4 1/2 inch system on in to a 39m threw the tip hose and in the slab. that was cool but it smelled bad . oh and all so a flip flop

Nothing like the smell of dead animal in the morning to wake you up. I once pumped a full 20 ounze coke bottle through about 150 ft of system never missed a beat with a morgan.

    HAD A DRIVER DECIDE THAT THE TIME TO CHIP ON HIS CHUTE AND GET THE SET UP CONCRETE OFF WAS DURING THE TIME HE WAS BACKED UP TO MY PUMP AND NEXT TO DISCHARGE SOME HOW HE DROPED HIS HAMMER IN THE HOPPER PUMP STOPPED, I WASNT AT THE BACK SO DIDNT KNOW, BACKED HER UP A STROKE AND SHE WENT ON THREW. COUPLE MINUTES LATER HE CAME OVER AND SAID SOMETHING. I TOLD HIM HE COULD GO LOOK FOR IT IF HE WANTED IT BACK!

I had a mixer truck driver discharging at my hopper once, and he had never seen a pump truck, so he decided to snoop around while I was 350 feet away watching the pour. Well, I was using a Schwing WPT50 city pump with 350 feet of 2 1/2 inch system on it. Well, long story short, the guy found my 2 1/2 inch sponge ball and started playing with it, accidentally dropped it in the hopper, and it went straight through the grate and into the system. Crazy thing was the damn thing made it all the way to the last hose before it plugged. So I backstroked a couple times, turned her wide ass open, and let her rip. The ball shot out and cleared 5 houses, and landed in the bed of an F-150 about 300 yards away. When I got my ball back, the guy who owned the F-150 asked me if I would shoot it through again. haha.

after a mixer drove off, I walked back to look at the hopper and a deer's foot was underneath some piled up mud on the hopper grate.  After we got done pumping the dam we stuck the deer foot (hoof up) into the concrete...its still there....lol.

I'd post the pic but I dont' know how to do it....

I wouldn't say I pumped it but pre set pipeline the day before in a basement.I arrived the next day,plugged in and primed.Well the crew filled there britches when that rabbit came out about 75mph.A sight for sore eyes watching a bunch of flatworkers trying to catch it.Yes the rabbit was fine and did get it poured.

thats funny, here is my deer leg....

NO JOKE, a kitten, must have got into the hopper during the night, and it lived! Besides that some cell phones and radios that actually made it out alive too.

We set up about 250ft of 5 inch system on a friday afternoon for a monday morning pour at the end of the 5 inch pipe we reduced it and put on 6 four inch rubber hoses, well they brought me a yard of grout to prime with and I plugged in the reducer when I opened the system up I found a 8ft rattle snake that decided to climb into the pipe at over the weekend. he was all messed up and dead from the schwing 1200 pressureing out on him.

Now that's a just reward to one of my least liked pets

I have had a head of a claw hammer, large pair of vise grips, and a flat head screwdriver that I know of.  I have done a few flowable fill jobs where the RM company decides to empty that weeks garbage into their trucks and send it out to the pump.

Got a hard hat on my grate, it was a little too big to go through, lol. truck driver pulled it out, washed it of, and put it on his head. he said he dropped it in when he was washing his truck at the plant.

Early 80s', Honolulu Hawaii, We made a cardinal sin. After pumping 40 floors up we were tired at the end of the day. We cleaned out the pump but did not hook it back up to the pipeline. The next morning we came to work, hooked up the pump and I went up and unfolded the boom. Grout arrived and we began our deck pour. I was standing on the boom platform and heard the sweet sound of grout coming up. First the water came out, then a little grout and wham! Plugged up. I boomed down and the big Hawaiian Labor Foreman went over and broke off the reducer. He looked inside and then started yelling and giving me a hard time about leaving a ball in the pipeline. This was strange because I knew we had both balls after we blew out the line. Ron reached in and pulled it out. Down onto the deck he threw one very alive and very mad mongoose!

during a night pour we had 210ft system hooked up to a 31ht ,pumping along pretty good when a minimag flashlight made it out on the deck,still on.the spotter dropped it in the hopper while slumping the next load.i use it on every night pour
