To prevent concrete from splashing out of the end hose if pumping at low speed I just use a traffic cone turned upside down. It's much safer like a small end hose or a double bend. I don't have block ups in a reducer cause I use it with a 125 mm end hose and if a bigger stone comes through, the traffic cone opens. What do you think about this?

Hahaha, cool. What did you use to attach it? Tape? And how long does a cone last?

I've got a very easy system to clip it on and of the end hose. It only takes a few seconds and it doesn't come of the end hose. I'll make some detail pictures on monday and send them over. The rubber flap over the end hose is just a cover for safety.

The cone lasts pretty long and if it's worn it's very cheap to replace.

A lot of customers laugh when they see it at first but once they've worked with it, they don't want to miss it anymore.

Always wanted a cheap redneck version of the Putz Pin Pour.
Those work great but wear out fast and I just can't find the right nozzle for the concrete first time.
Traffic cones are much cheaper if they work well.

I've seen you're from Norway. Here's a picture from me pumping in Bodo. My friend's driver was on holiday so he asked me to help him with a job.

Nice.
How old is that pic?
I think I have driven that pump a few times, since it looks like
an old pump from another company.

This picture was taken in july 2007. This pump has run for 5 years in Belgium. Afterwards my friend bought it. I was in Norway to train him and we had a great time. I know he has sold this pump now but I don't know to whom

that cone trick is pretty cool. im waiting to hear what Bob says about it!

?

W.W.B.D. (what would Bob do) would you say this is a safe "trick"  i personally dont see why it would not be safe, but another opinion would be nice!

ya it would be safe, if it has a reflective tape 4 those night pours. well you know your tip is rated 4 one discharge hose not a hose & a cone lol

(4) 16 p nails driven into the end of the hose at a downward angle towards the discharge end does the same thing. This looks like a hill-billy rough neck hose no doubt constructed with hill-billy chrome(ductape!) You could also use this for Decorative concrete placement by cutting a star shape in the end of the cone. Like decorating a big concrete CAKE! You would'nt happen to be a "Baker" would you Kris??? .......(<*>,<*>).......pump-off.

I'm not a baker but if you want I can pump a concrete cake with star shaped decoration and write my name under it (there fore I've got a pencil shaped cone)

The 60 m Concord on your pictures, is this your pump?

ROB you got cabin fever? where do you come up with this stuff. * * that craks me up man. the concrete cake..baker lol & ha freekn ha! looks like a short lil hose condom in the pic. wat wuz it called. cone head?

If you want to use my little red rubber hose as a condom I think you've got a big problem (unless you use a lot of tape).

I've been pumping a lot of underwater concrete in Berlin with Dutch divers. They looked a lot like you in their diving gear.
