All bullshit aside. I know alot of folks read this site. To whom it may concern, I am willing to go to Japan and do whatever is asked as far as operating a pump to do my part for the the good of all of us. My name is Tom Brower, I live in No. Ca. Todd can put you in touch with me. Thanks

Well good thing for you my friend, the Japanese have many good Concrete Pump operators and if what I have been told is true you would have to get in a long line of Japanese that would gladly step up and serve their homeland.

Pay is great just a little short on life expectancy? Thank god for the men and women that have the courage to sacrifice themselves for mankind!

I was watching CNN last night. Did anybody see the Concrete pump pumping water on the reactor? Didn't look like it could pump water to good.

no, didnt see that rusty, what kinda pump?

they can guzzle water like i guzzle beer!

Actually Schwing makes a fire truck that is a concrete pump.  There is a few fire companies in NJ that have them

Here is the  Link to youtube   they are refered to as firebooms.

custer It had a five section boom.Wasn't a puts, water would have come out.

They likely supplied water from a low-volume, high-pressure pump, more suited for spraying distance. (2" firehose)

One report mentioned that they had set-up an 'unmanned' system that would operate for about 7 hours - likely their poor terminology for a concrete boom truck.

Add in the term 'concrete pump' and journalists get terribly confused, they equate concrete with sidewalks, and how could you possibly pump chunks of sidewalk? - now pumping cement, they might get. ;~)
