Why Is Concrete Pump Truck So Expensive
Dec 25, 2023
In modern times, many cities have buildings that are tens of meters or even hundreds of meters high, and new high-rise buildings are rising every day. In the construction process of this city, tower cranes and concrete boom pump trucks played an important role.
A new concrete pump truck like a 38m pump truck is a machine that uses pressure to continuously transport concrete along a pipeline. It can transport concrete horizontally or vertically into a narrow environment, or transport concrete into a building with dozens of floors. It plays a very important role in construction projects, water conservancy projects and other constructions. Why is it so expensive?
The boom pump truck is a very delicate equipment. The boom is a key component of the concrete pump truck. It not only has to extend to a height of tens of meters, but also withstands the huge pressure when pumping concrete.
The strength of the steel plate used to make the boom is higher than 600 MPa, which is equivalent to two 600-kilogram cows standing on a thumbnail. Therefore, for every meter added to the length of the boom pump truck, the material strength and other requirements for the boom are higher than one level.
The core components of the boom pump truck are its pumping system and hydraulic system. The pumping system is the actuator of the concrete pump truck. It is used to continuously transport concrete along the pipeline to the pouring site. It is mainly composed of a pumping mechanism, a lubrication mechanism, and a hopper.
The hydraulic system realizes energy conversion and increases the force by changing the pressure. It serves as the power for the pumping system and the power for the boom to open and fold. It is mainly composed of an oil pump, a fuel tank, a boom pump, etc.
The boom pump truck also requires a high-precision control system to control the direction and deployment (folding) speed of the boom, and to ensure the high stability of the boom. Moreover, some core components of high-end boom pump trucks need to be imported from other industry giants. Therefore, the price of concrete boom pump trucks is very expensive. Welcome to leave message blow to inquire the truck mounted concrete pump price.
