SAFTEY
Why Cant I Use My Boom As a Crane?
Use of your placing boom as a crane: (quoting the Safety Manual version 6.0.1) 8.16 WARNING! Do not use the boom as a hoist crane! Now, that rule has been stated, lets get into the "why not" 
1) Alliance and JunJin forbid the practice. Lifting variable loads my cause damage and could void your warranty.
2) There is no swivel allowing the load to be turned and no place to safely attach the cables or straps.
3) The load chart required by the crane standards does not exist for placing booms.
4) Concrete pump placing booms do not comply with ASME B30.22 (the standard for articulated boom cranes).
5) The manuals do not document the maximum lift, where to attach rigging, how far you can extend booms carrying loads, etc. because it was never considered in the machine design..jpg)
6) Overloading is inevitable. Accidents could result from somebody riding the load to keep from falling. The load not swiveling makes that accident more likely.
7) Assuming you rig a choker strap over the last elbow before the swivel clamp- the elbow wears out and was never designed for sideways mechanical loading.
8) The clamp is not designed for mechanical forces other than around the weld-on end of a pipe and or elbow. The clamp could fail while you are moving a suspended load, or when the pipe is next pressurized.
9) The damage may appear later. A crack subjected to the forces of normal pumping suddenly fails catastrophically.
Warnings about using the boom as a crane exist in many published forms. Additionally, there should be a warning label about it on each machine. If you get a request to use your boom as a crane, show them the warning label and say "no can do".

In these hard times, we are all looking for ways to save money. One important way to save money is with preventitive maintenance on your concrete pump. 
Ensuring proper maintenance and operation of your Lincoln Greaser could save valuable time and money. There are two easy steps to include in your daily routine of operation your concrete pump.
Before pumping concrete, you should trun the greaser on to cycle the grease into the wear parts. This will help to protecdt your wear parts and seals from premature wear. To check the greaser for proper function, the operator should watch the grease cylinder move in and out. The grease cylinder is located on the side of the grease block. If the cylinder is not moving, then ease grease line must be checked for blockage. It is recommended , to check each line one at a time.
When washing out athe end of a pour, it is good to cycle the greaser for five minutes. This will help to prevent blockages in your greaser.
We hope this tip helps you and your pump operate more efficiently throughout the busy season. If you have any questions or concerns regarding this or any other issues, feel free to give us a call or email.
Thanks for your time!!!!

Winter has hit some areas a bit harder than others, that said, the colder months can create some trouble. Below are a few things you can do to make life a little easier if your faced with really cold weather.
Try and Keep all hose in the vehicle until you are ready to wash out.
Drain the water tank when your job is complete.
Try and heat up your hydraulics via your Remixer before you begin pumping to assure things are at an adequate operating temperature.
Make sure your hydraulic fluid is well filtered. Condensation and freezing can create problems.
If some of your grease lines aren’t flowing and you need to use a grease gun. Keep the gun inside the vehicle so when you are lubing your fittings the grease flows through the gun.
Drain your Air tanks after every job to remove any Condensation in the tanks. Also change the Air Dryer if it hasn't been changed in a while!
Use the Ready Mix water is you can. They don’t need much to clean out. It is common for them to carry around 100 gallons.
Thanks for your time and be sure to check in with us soon!

Concrete Pumps Update 12/5/2001
Cold weather placement of concrete is a tough job by anyone’s standards, particularly when the temperature dr
ops to the zero mark or below, and life is made even more miserable by snow, sleet and soft ground conditions that bog down mixer trucks. However, a concrete pump can do much to take some of the hard work and inconvenience out of winter placement of concrete. With modern technology, it is now possible to pump concrete with any weather. pumping can eliminate the necessity for scaffolding, ramps and buggies as well as many of the hazardous aspects of working in inclement weather and on ice coated structures.
For example, with a concrete pump most of the concrete placing operation can be conducted in relative comfort and warmth. A "dog house" is often built around a pump which is a great weather barrier. Thus, the operator works in relative comfort and safety away from the wind and inclement weather. Up on the placing site, the crew can work in relative comfort also entirely closed in either with temporary enclosures or by design to have walls and a roof up before bad weather sets in.
Unlike other methods a hose can be run through any six in opening and the rest of the building can be sealed off completely. Any other system will require considerable open areas with subsequent discomfort for the workmen. Further refinement of concrete placement includes the self-contained pump and boom that permits pumping and placing concrete with little or no pipe erection. Thus, concrete gets placed where it belongs with a minimum of spillage. Assuming the ready mix operator can deliver a good pump able mix with the necessary anti-freeze agents there is really not much winter weather that can get in the way of concrete pumping.

Concrete Pump Update 10/21/2011
This time of year some pumps out there could use a little TLC. Here are just a few reminders to keep in mind when cleaning your lines and Pump. 
Line cleaning
Line cleaning is undertaken with either high pressure water or air, to remove residual concrete in the pipeline. The sudden release of waste concrete under pressure can harm workers and the public.
The following safety precautions should be followed:
• Water rather than air should be used for cleaning and only experienced and trained workers should carryout line cleaning.
• The pipeline must not be dismantled for cleaning or other purposes until pressure is relieved. An air relief valve as well as the air entry point to the pipeline is needed to relieve pressure from the system.
• The pipeline must be free of internal pressure before disconnecting a pipeline connection or fitting and must not be left unattended until then.
• Remove rubber hose at the end of the pipeline and secure all parts of the pipeline to prevent uncontrolled movement during purging.
• A device should be attached to the discharge end of the pipeline to catch the cleaning device while the concrete is still flowing.
• If a concrete truck bowl is used, concrete lines should be prevented from moving. It is not safe to attach concrete lines to the concrete trucks ladder.
• Workers should be removed from the discharge end while the concrete is under pressure and any workers involved should wear protective clothing.
Pump cleaning
Entanglement, crushing or amputation injuries can occur to workers working with a concrete hopper or pumping device. Workers should avoid placing any part of their body within the hopper. Safety precautions include:
• Providing a physical barrier at all times to protect people from the moving parts of a hopper.
• If cleaning or maintenance requires entry to the hopper, the equipment must be shut down and controls used to remove any hydraulic or air pressure to prevent movement or rotation of parts of the engine.
• Workers should receive instruction, training and supervision when concrete hoppers are cleaned and access to a support person in the immediate area.

Concrete Pump Update 10/04/2011
Concrete in one form or another has been around for a very long time. While being a relatively simple material, it must be delivered properly in order for it to be effective. There are number issues which can affect your concrete pumping, the more common of them are, temperature and water content. Along with issues which affect pours, there are hazards which those involved should be aware of as well.
Slump
When someone refers to “Slump”, they are referring to the moisture content of the material. The higher the Slump, the wetter the concrete and higher the flow. That said, wet concrete can be weak. Utilizing crushed stone to absorb water is a good way to go. Typically a higher cement ration relative to sand and gravel will also help increase flow.
Temperature
We all know that hot weather can slow down the pumping process and make for tough times if your not prepared. These warmer conditions aide in the concrete hardening process. You can help slow this the hardening process by adding water and other retarders. On the other hand, when you are dealing with cooler temperatures, you may wish to add an accelerator to the mixture. By adding this accelerant you material will flow better for you on the job.
Burns
It's important to wear protective eyewear, boots, gloves and clothing during pouring because concrete can splatter and can cause abrasions. Its high lime content can also cause dermatitis and burns. Any concrete that comes into contact with the skin should be flushed with water immediately. Applying vinegar immediately after using water will neutralize the base more quickly.

Limit Blow Outs
For the most part, there are two ways which concrete is placed, pouring straight from the mixer truck, or 2pumped. When you are looking for a higher level of control, pumping the concrete by way of line pump or boom pump are your best options.
Management of the material you are delivering is critical. Generally when concrete is delivered through hose or pipe 4” will do. That said, if you are pouring into a foam form situation, you may wish to consider stepping down to a 2” or 3” system to avoid blow outs. Blow outs do not happen all that often when dealing with this type of forming material, but it does happen. Below are a few tips that will help limit this occurrence.
• Use a smaller hose for delivery- 2 or 3 inch
• The smaller hose lets the hose manager better place the material
• The utilization of a bend in your line will help to slow the fall of material through the end of the system, this greatly lessens the pressure on the forms during delivery.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 9/23/2011
Advantages of Using Concrete Pumps
• Placement of material is generally s faster than placement by other methods.
• Material can be placed in areas that are too challenging to reach by other placement techniques.
• Generally pumping requires less man power, so labor costs are cut drastically
• When space is very limited, often time’s concrete pumping is the best option
• Pumped concrete can be easier to handle because the flow of concrete is directed to the exact spot of placement (whereas cranes and conveyors deposit large piles of concrete that must be moved manually).
• Few obstacles can block a concrete pumping pipeline. Pipelines can corner sharply, pass through narrow spaces, travel over or under walls, etc.
• A contractor can vary the placement speed or add lines to fit the pace of the job.
• For large pours, multiple pumps can be set up, allowing several trucks to discharge at the same time
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 9/21/2011
Problems with Air Loss During Concrete Pumping
Air Loss is most likely to happen when:
- The material is delivered over a distance with a noteable vertical drop
- The initual slump of the concrete is relatively high
- When the pump pressure is increased as there is a sudden pressure drop when the concrete is leaving the hose
While pressure loss during concrete pumping is fairly common; there are some things we can do in to help limit this occurance.
- Run the pump with the boom at an upward or horizontal angle whenever possible
- Limit the drops in the line
- Use a gate or other methods of restriction at the end of the pump
- Run a loop in the hose to limit the amount of concrete free falling out of the system
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 9/20/2011
Managing the Pour
The key to a successful concrete pump pour is to manage the pour from ordering the pump and concrete, through organising the site, to supervising to pumping operation.
Some guidelines are set out below to assist with planning a pump pour:
When ordering a pump please give the following info:
• Company name.
• Contact name and telephone number.
• Full site address including postcode if known.
• Date and time for the pump, allow approximately 30 minutes for the pump operator to set up the pump.
• Size of pump required.
• Volume and type of concrete including any admixtures, additions, fibres etc.
• Brief description of the pour e.g. footing, external slab, bridge deck etc.
• Any other special requirements pipeline, second man etc.
When working with the operator its good to know what hand signals are useful. Knowing these hand signals can help to both increase workplace safety as well as productivity.

How to Keep your Concrete Pump out of the shop
Pumping concrete is not easy work. Often the days can be long. These long workdays create quite alot of wear on our equipement. There are several things to keep in mind when maintaining a concrete pump.
Keeping your pump clean is very important and requires a lot of time and effort. Apart from keeping your truck, pump, hopper and lines free of concrete, lubrication is the next most important thing to consider. Without proper lubrication your equipement will seize up and you can't pump- thats not all; your pump will likely end up in the shop and costing you thousands of dollars, let alone down time.
Make sure your greaser is pumping through every line, fitting and zerk. These grease lines are there for a reason and if the parts dont get lubricated its not a matter of if, but when your equipement will be in need of repair.
If your in need of a new automatic greaser, lines, fitting or zerks, give us a call and we will ship them right out to you!
--------------------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 9/9/2011
While most of the time pump operators do a real good job at estimating distances on the job site, there are a few things they can do in order to better gauge distances and boom placement.
• On big jobs or where there are several hazards to avoid, don’t run the pump alone. In situations where 
more precision and safety is concerned, use a radio and have another person to work with. There are generally acceptable hand signals used industry wide which will help communicate what needs to be done.
• Whenever setting up in the evening, or during low light conditions, be very careful. During periods of low light our vision is hampered and power lines, other overhead obstacles become increasingly hazardous.
• The most effective way for a concrete pump operator to work safely and efficiently is by using a radio remote. This allows the operator to view the site from a variety of angles, making for precise material placement. There are a variety of radio remotes available for pumping concrete, we like the Ominex and HBC brands. For a free catalog and to learn more about radio remotes, sign up for a free Concrete Pump Parts Catalog.

Concrete Pump Update 8/30/2011
We hope this update finds you all busy this season; and there has been lots of material pumped .png)
through your systems. As you know, its very important to maintain your pumps and keep a close eye on some of your more common wear parts. One of the more easy and often over looked ways to assure your equipment goes the distance with out fail is to keep all your grease lines running. So, be sure to check for clogs and visually see some grease in the heavy use areas.
We also suggest keeping an eye on your deck and boom pipe thickness. While the life left in these lines can sometimes be approximated by keeping track of pump hours and some good guess work. We suggest actually taking a meaurement so you know for sure. Replacing deck and boom pipe is expensive and having system failure is expensive too. So consider purchasing our Ultrasonic Thickness Gauge to keep you in the know. Below are general guidelines for boom and deck pipe health:
New Boom Pipe thickness-.194" -> replace at approximately .10"
New Deck Pipe thickness- .261" -> replace at approcimately .15"
*This is just a general rule in hope to avoid on site system failure. Give us a call for questions about our Ultra Sonic Thickness Gauge or any other parts questions.

Concrete Pump Clean Up
Cleaning and maintaining yourconcrete pumping equipment is very important and should be done diligently along with each 
pump job. It is important to recognize the danger involved with improperly cleaning out your concrete pumping system. While there are a few options to consider when cleaning, the use of water always does the best job. That said, if need be using compressed air, use extreme caution and utilize a pressure relief valve to help limit the risk of injury.
A sponge ball leaving a fully pressurized system could cause great harm to you and your co workers, so please use caution!
----------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 8/22/2011
Concrete Pump Pressure
Concrete Pumps are incredible pieces of equipment and can do an amazing job of moving material. That 
said, there are things you as operators can do in order to move the material through the system at the rate you need. There are a number of variable which tend to determine the pumping pressure within your line.
- The configuration of system- deck pipe/boom pipes/reducers etc
- The distances with which you are pumping concrete
- The speed in which your pump is working
- Turns in your line (how many and how sharp
- Are you pumping up hill or down
- The use of soft or metal lines
- Consistency of the material in which you are pumping- its good to specify if the material is to be pumped or poured.
All these factors both individually and as a group have a great effect on the pumping pressure of your machine and should be taken into consideration when setting up each job.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 8/18/2011
While it may be the case that sometime there may be a need for someone to step in for the pump 
operator....... This is very dangerous and illegal. Not only are there people onsite who could be put in danger, but serious property damage could be caused by this type of action. That said, below is a link to a study guide provided by the ACPA. If you are interested, take a look and consider getting certified.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Concrete Pump Update 8/11/2011
Concrete pumping is the pouring of concrete from a concrete pumping truck into the form. Concrete pumping is a key part of home construction. The pumping of concrete into forms must be done carefully. 
Maintaining an even distribution of the concrete during concrete pumping will help limit segregation. In addition, during the concrete pumping phase, the slump from different concrete pumping trucks can also affect the foundation.
Before pumping concrete, a pre concrete pumping inspection should be conducted. Listed are some potential concrete pumping problem points to check for:
• Before concrete pumping begins, check all concrete pumping equipment
• Before pumping the concrete, double check all measurements
• Before pumping the concrete check for level and square walls
• Before concrete pumping, if required by local building codes, ensure all reinforcing steel has been inspected
• Before concrete pumping, ensure sleeves, fasteners and braces are attached 
• Before concrete pumping, ensure floor decks are in place
• Before concrete pumping, check forms for irregularities that can affect the pumping of concrete
• Before pumping the concrete, ensure you have the correct concrete pumping slump
Once concrete pumping is complete and the forms used during concrete pumping are removed, waterproofing is next. After pumping the concrete allow about 7-days to cure. However, this rarely happens. Using spray-on-coatings after pumping the concrete can seal in moisture and slow and weaken the foundation. Using after pumping the concrete allows the foundation to properly cure while keeping moisture out.

Concrete Pumps Update 8/7/2011
Concrete line pumps are a portable, towable, small concrete pump used for many concrete pumping applications. Also called concrete trailer pumps, they can be used to pump concrete, shotcrete, grout, mortar, foamed concrete and flowable fill.
Being a small concrete pump and also a very mobile concrete pump, a line pump can fit into tight, confined areas of a construction site that a larger boom concrete pump truck, because of its outriggers, just won't fit.
These trailer concrete pumps have steel and rubber concrete pump hoses that attach to an outlet on the concrete line pump. The concrete pump hose can range in diameter from 2 inches to 5 inches and are usually 10 feet long. The larger diameter hoses 3, 4, and 5 inch are typically used for pumping concrete and the 2 inch pump hose is mostly used for pumping grout and shotcrete.
The concrete pump hoses are connected together with concrete pump clamps reaching horizontal lengths from 20 to 1500 feet. The volume of concrete pumped through a line pump varies depending on the size of the line pump and the diameter of the concrete pump pipe, most can pump 30 cubic yards per hour but some outputs can be as high as 150 cubic yards per hour.
The smaller diameter pump hoses combined with a portable, small concrete trailer pump make pumping swimming pools, residential basement floors and hard to reach interior commercial floors much easier than using wheelbarrows or concrete buggies.
HOW CONCRETE LINE PUMPS WORK:
The concrete pumping process starts with the discharge of concrete from a ready mix truck into a hopper on the trailer pump. In the hopper an agitator keeps the fresh concrete flowing smoothly into the pumping cylinders.
Concrete piston pumps operate on the same principle as a twin cylinder reciprocating engine, where one cylinder draws concrete from the hopper on the return stroke and pushes the concrete on the forward stroke into the pump hoses.
Pistons in both cylinders operate in opposite directions so there is constant pressure on the concrete in the hoses and uninterrupted flow. The pistons are driven by hydraulic cylinders powered by a hydraulic pump.
A synchronized valve enables concrete from the two cylinders to go into one pump discharge hose. This valve is often used to distinguish one type of pump from another.
Some common valve types describing line pumps are gate valve, rock valve, swing valve, ball valve or C tube.
One of the main advantages of using a smaller, mobile concrete pump is reduced manual labor costs. The towable concrete pump does all the work of getting the concrete where you need it, you just have to level it.
In most cases the savings in time and manpower it takes to complete a pour with a trailer concrete pump will pay for the cost of the concrete pump rental.

Alliance Concrete Pumps Update 7/29/2011
Carelessness in the field can cause accidents, no matter how many safety measures are build in to the equipment and procedures. Keep these safe “don’ts” in mind:
DON’T
• Open a coupling that is under pressure
• Face an open discharge end of the pipeline
• Pick up a clogged hose that is under pressure
• Climb on a hydraulic system to clean a clogged line
Checking for Water
Pumping performance as well as safe operation of the pumping system may be affected by worn coupling rubbers or gaskets, which may let air into the line or allow grout to escape.
Coupling rubbers typically wear on the surface that comes into contact with the pipe: and gaskets need to be cleaned if they have concrete remaining in the cavity. The gasket should be replaced if the centre lip is worn out. Calves should be routinely inspected for wear and proper settings.
The most accurate way to inspect for worn pipeline is with a gauge specifically designed to measure the thickness of steel pipe. In addition, the pipe ends must be inspected for wear, cleanliness and to make sure they are compatible with other pipe and coupling rubbers to be used on the job.
American sized and European sized raised ends are not compatible. Compatibility must also be ensured if pipe from different manufacturers are used together, since pipe joints can pose a serious hazard if the ends and coupling rubbers do not match.
Power Lines
The truck boom, chassis, remote-control cable and steel braided delivery hose are great conductors of electricity. With its high water content, concrete itself can become a deathly electric conduit if any part of the pump machinery comes in contact with power lines. This is why more concrete pump operators die from electrocution than any other job-related cause. And even the rubber boots or rubber soled workboots worn by concrete workers won’t protect them from the 8,000 volts most residential power lines carry if that worker is in contact with any part of the equipment that touches a power line.
Half of all accidents involving booms and power lines happen when the machine is being folded, unfolded or removed. This is why OSHA recommends placing a full-time spotter in position to keep an eye on the boom if it is at all possible to inadvertently hit an electric wire.
The Australian Concrete Pumpers Association requires that the boom tip and any other section of the boom be at least 17 feet from power lines.
Excavations
Remember the “one-to-one” rule when pumping concrete near an excavation or land that falls off steeply from the pump: For every foot of depth, position the pump at least one foot back from the edge. Pumps can be placed closer to the edge of a slope than to a vertical drop-off. For instance, on a one –to-one slope, the pump often does not require much of a setback. And can often be placed at the top of the slope.
When pumping into an excavation, take into consideration the fact that most boom pumps have a much higher upward reach than downward. A boom pump that can reach 100 feet high may have only about half that reach downward.

System Blockages.jpg)
We all know that eventually the pumping system will become blocked. There are 3 main causes for concrete pumping blockages.
• Poor concrete mixture
• Faulty pipe
• Human error
The Mix
Generally the mixing issues occur when there is poor sand quality within the batch. The poor sand typically causes the water not to mix well within the batch. This poor mix will generally create inconsistent material and ultimately system blockages. Along with the sand qualities, it is very important to assure that your material is mixed well.
Along with just poor product mixture, there can be other causes for the batch block within the pumping system. One which we are all too familiar with is just good old father time. If there are long delays in the project and for one reason or another trucks are sitting idle the material may begin to set. Drying concrete does not run smoothly through the system and can form a blockage.
The Pipe
As a general rule your equipment should be gone over prior to all jobs. This can be at times very inconvenient, but in the long run it can save you time and money. By checking your equipment you will likely find, fix and or maintain system issues. Some common issues include defective couplings, gaskets and weld collars.
While connections and couplings can create issues other areas to look for problems to arise are in your pipes and elbows. Anywhere there is a short bend, or if you have too many bends in your system there will be an increase in system pressures. These increases ultimately increase not only ware, but the possibility of system blockage or failure.
The Operator
It’s real easy to place blame, especially if it’s on the equipment. It’s more difficult to place blame on the operator or fess up to the issue if you are the operator. Typically this occurs when there is a line pumping system in place. When the systems is set up wrong or in a wrong location and additional pipe and hose is needed to reach areas at the wrong time; the “dry” pipe hinders the flow of the concrete. Depending on the severity of this occurrence blockages can happen.
These are just a few issues and causes. As you all likely know there are a ton of things that can happen out there and if they can they will. Just keep in mind that paying close attention to your equipment maintenance can save you money and time in the long run!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Alliance Concrete Pumps Update 7/27/2011
Concrete Pump Pipe Blockages
As most of you know, it’s true, its rare things run as smoothly as we would like. Some of the issues we encounter are rock jams or line blocks. These issues need to be identified and fixed quickly and safely. For some issues there may be some identifiers that may foreshadow the potential of coming issues. These may include variations in the concrete mix being pump – to wet, dry, rocky or old dry concrete being run through the system.
Fortunately there are gauges which identify these line blockage issues. The main one to keep an eye on is the general pump pressure gauge. Typically the area which encounters blockages is the reducer. This is the tapered pipe just prior to the deck pipe.
The pump operator should play a critical role in the maintenance of the pump. There should be frequent inspections of the equipment throughout the day. Areas with a block can be found by tapping a hammer along the pipe. Clear areas will have more of a ping to it while areas with blockage will emit a more dull sound.
--------------------------------------------------------
Alliance Concrete Pumps Update 7/26/2011
Checking for Wear
The efficiency of your pumping can be greatly affected by worn out gaskets and couplings.
It is most common that couplings wear out at the point where contact is made with the pipe. All gaskets should be cleaned if any concrete is left within the system. Also, one should keep tabs on the condition of your gaskets. If the lip in the center or any other portion of the gasket is worn, it should be replaced.
Maintaining the pipes on your pump is also very important. The most accurate way to test the thickness of your pipes is with a thickness gage. There are specifications with respect to the different types of pipe and their relative specifications. You should get this information from your pipe manufacturers to assure you are working with the correct numbers.
Cleaning the Pump
Cleaning your concrete pump can be extremely dangerous for a variety of reasons. Typically outside influences can play a role in this. For instance, a coworker needs to clean something or get some water from you. The scenarios can go on and on. Cleaning with water is preferred over cleaning with compressed air.
If you do choose to clean with compressed air, remember there should always be a relief valve installed to avoid accidents; pressure can be of sufficient force to propel a clean-out ball through the open end with enough force to penetrate a concrete block wall. Therefore, whether using water or air pressure, install an end cap and a catcher to prevent injury to workers or damage to property.

Hose Whipping
Alliance Concrete Pumps Updates 7/22/2011
The season is moving right along and people are hopefully getting more and busier. That means some folks are getting tired cranky and maybe a little careless from time to time.
Here are just a few safety issues to keep in mind.
Safely Setting Concrete Boom Pump Outriggers
Tipping accidents with concrete boom pumps have occurred as a result of:
•Inadequate cribbing
•Misjudging the soil
•Poorly compacted soil
•Setting up too close to excavations or backfilled areas
•Hidden voids
•Washouts
•Natural or man-made voids
Setting the outriggers of a concrete pump with a placing boom is one of the most critical jobs of the concrete pump operator and should always be done in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended procedure. If not done properly, it can lead to a serious accident. Tip-over accidents can be avoided if people take precautions when the unit is set up. Both operators and contractors must be aware of the potential danger that exists when a large boom is unfolded and extended over outriggers.
If the contractor remembers to offer additional cribbing and if the operator remembers to ask for it when it isn't offered, the problem can be minimized even before the boom is extended.
Here are some rules to follow when setting outriggers:
•Do not set the outrigger on uneven soil. If necessary, reposition the unit or level the soil.
•Do not set the outrigger on a hill. The force of the machine weight must be transmitted straight down, otherwise the outrigger load would be partially down and partially sideways, putting undue strain on the outrigger leg.
•Do not bridge a hole with outrigger cribbing. If there is no soil contact over the hole, the pressure on the ends of the pad is much greater. The soil could give way or the cribbing could break.
•If you determine that you need five pieces of cribbing to support the load but the foot only touches three of them, the outrigger will sink into the soil. To avoid this problem, lay dunnage the opposite direction on top of the first layer. The top layer of dunnage must contact all pieces that are supporting it.
•When jacking, put the full weight of the truck on each outrigger, one at a time, and if the pad starts to sink, retract the foot and supply more cribbing. Continue this process until the outrigger appears stable and the pad shows no sign of sinking. Only then are you ready to unfold the boom
•If you are unable to get the outriggers to stabilize, do not unfold the boom. Relocate the pump to a location that will support the weight of the outriggers.
Cribbing: more or less'
•More is better
•The stronger the material, the better
•Pay close attention to the type of soil where you're setting up the unit.
Training
Every person in the chain of a pumping job has a responsibility to help protect the hose person and other nearby personnel. Education is the key, followed closely by diligent watchfulness and personal protective equipment. Educational materials are available from the American Concrete Pump Association, and everyone involved in the concrete pumping process should be trained, including:
•Job superintendents
•Labor foremen
•Laborers
•Pump operators
Responsibilities
Contractors
•One of the things a contractor can do to help is to order the right size boom. If the boom is too small, the operator may have to set up too close to an excavation to reach the pour; if the boom is too large, it will require much more cribbing than a smaller unit.
•Have a place prepared for the pump before it arrives on the job.
•Inform the pump operator of backfilled areas, soft or muddy areas, or underground obstructions.
•Have cribbing near the setup area prior to the pump's arrival (including steel sheets if the soil is known to be bad).
•Monitor the setup. Don't let the operator cut corners or take chances.
Dispatcher
When the contractor calls to order the pump the dispatcher should:
•Learn the size of pump that is needed and send that size if possible.
•If availability means that a unit that is larger or smaller than necessary will be sent, warn of possible complications.
•Ask about soil conditions or underground obstructions.
Operator
The operator is ultimately in charge and must make good decisions regarding setup, including:
Use as much cribbing as practical; too much is better than too little.
•Watch for all warning signs prior to setup.
•Watch for sinking outriggers while unfolding the boom, and continue to recheck them throughout the day.
•Keep people out from under the boom whenever practical.

Our July Parts Special is for outrigger pads and time is running out to place your order and take advantage of the great savings.
Here is a little info about the strength of the outrigger pads we sell..........
In a purely unscientific test, a 2.75" thick 24" x 24" pad was put into a test frame. The pad was supported for 3.5" of two sides, leaving the center (71%) unsupported. A 14" steel plate was placed on the pad. The pad was able to sustain, without any damage, 50 tons of pressure. (See diagram)
Keep in mind that no outrigger pad or crane mat can give a total assurance of safety. Additional cribbing must be used at times, even on flat asphalt surfaces. If the foot of the outrigger is small, a smaller pad should be used on top of the larger pad to spread the weight load.
"We have been using the same outrigger pads on our trucks for the last 5 years and have been very pleased with the results."

July, two sets of ultra high pressure Zoomlion HBT90.40.572RS concrete pump were working on the construction site of the highest building in Shenzhen which was at the 72 storeys (about 315m). The equipment worked for over 10 hours a day to ensure the work period.
”The 2 sets of HBT90.40.572RS has pumped about 80,000m3 concrete materials of C40-C80. While with the construction, the grade number will be higher, and the C120 concrete which created the world record of pumping will also be used. Currently the equipment works well, and it’s sure that they will create the new record.”said the project manager, Mr. Linghu.
No doubt, this job is a real giant. Do you have any big concrete pumping jobs going? If so, give us some details and photos so we can put em up on the site!

Alliance Concrete Pumps Update 7/19/2011
A concrete pump truck was pumping concrete into the walkway of a house while a worker held the end hose. The rubber hose was 20 feet (6 metres) long and had a coupling device attached at the end. The operator of the concrete pump truck saw that the concrete had stopped flowing out of the hose. He pushed the emergency stop button and the pumping stopped. However, compressed air trapped in the supply line behind a blockage forced the blockage to clear suddenly. Concrete burst out of the hose, causing the hose to whip out. The worker holding the hose fell backwards. He struck his head on a piece of scrap lumber and later died of his injuries.
This occurance, excluding the fatal outcome is not all that uncommon. During the hot summer months when we are all very busy and its easy to become complacent about certain situations. Remember when ever your at work stay alert and look out for possible dangerous situations. Things can go from bad to worse real quick.
This is going to be a real hot week accross the country, try and stay cool and hydrated!!!!!

Summer is under way and we hope everyone is busy out there pumping. We know that there are deadlines and very long hours required of you at times. We also know that it is really easy to become distracted. Often times distraction can lead to accidents and injuries. Lets try and keep it safe out there.
Before pumping concrete, a pre concrete pumping inspection should be conducted. Listed are some potential concrete pumping problem points to check for:
Before concrete pumping begins, check all concrete pumping equipment
1) Before pumping the concrete, double check all measurements
2) Before pumping the concrete check for level and square walls
3) Before concrete pumping, if required by local building codes, ensure all reinforcing steel has been inspected
4) Before concrete pumping, ensure sleeves, fasteners and braces are attached
5) Before concrete pumping, ensure floor decks are in place
6) Before concrete pumping, check forms for irregularities that can affect the pumping of concrete
7) Before pumping the concrete, ensure you have the correct concrete pumping slump
Below is a link to a concrete pumping safety check list.

To pump concrete or not to pump concrete that’s the question. In today’s construction environment, there have been many changes. The cost of labor has increased, the price of materials has increased, insurance premiums have risen and the list goes on. That said, the price of property in many places has gone down. The lower prices could make for an attractive investment when choosing to begin a construction project either for personal or business investing.
Flipping homes in the past has been a pretty lucrative and popular style of business. But today this business environment has become a little trickier. How to add value to a home and gain it on the back end sale price? Well, we know that the simple fixes just do not cut it anymore.
There are a higher percentage of home for sale in the more crowded subdivisions these days. These area are prime targets for the re model and sell style of business. But, many people face issues with the renovations, additions and property enhancements due to these smaller lots and tighter working conditions. Some of these issues deal with the placement of concrete. Whether you are putting together a nice patio in your back yard, pouring a small footer and stem wall for your addition off the dining room or installing a nice back yard swimming pool- you need concrete – Concrete mixer trucks can’t get near the work place and pushing the wheel barrel around for these jobs just won’t due. The answer is concrete pumping! Concrete pump trucks are designed to place concrete easily and effectively in these tight and difficult to access job sites.
There are benefits of using concrete pump truck on your job site. It’s a clean and precise way to place your concrete. If you are trying to keep your job site un tracked by weighted truck tires or have other landscaping or construction obstacles prohibiting the use of a mixer truck, the concrete pump truck is the answer. Alliance Concrete Pumps is a manufacturer of high quality concrete pumps, pump trucks and concrete pump parts, now delivering worldwide!
