Les Ainsworth, the owner of Concrete Pump Depot, started in the concrete pumping business in 1965. Over the next 44 years Les Ainsworth purchased and operated over 600 concrete pumps including Schwing concrete pumps and Putzmeister concrete pumps in over 30 cities across the USA. During his 44 years at Pumpco Inc Les made conntact with concrete pump owners all over the United States and with pump purchasers around the world. Now operating concrete pump depot Les offers the lowest price on used concrete pumps and the most responsive service for shipping and purchasing a used concrete pump.  Les has made contact with shippers for transporting the used concrete pumps to the port and with shippers that provide ocean shipping to anywhere in the world

Mobile concrete pumps are machines that use hydraulic pressure to operate large pistons, usually 8 inches to 10 inches in diameter, to push liquid concrete which is delivered to the pump by transit mix concrete trucks, through pipe and hose to the required destination.  The most common concrete pumps are mounted on heavy duty trucks for mobility.  Concrete is delivered by ready mix trucks that discharge the concrete into the receiving hopper at the rear of the concrete pump. These concrete pump machines have articulating booms for moving the delivery hose to the point where the concrete is required. These truck mounted concrete pumps with booms are capable of pumping concrete at very high volumes, in excess of 200 cubic yards per hour.  These concrete pumping machines have booms of various sizes some capable of reaching up 70 meters high.

these truck mounted concrete pumps can be set up in one hour or less and can be dissasembled after the job in less than one hour for transportation to the next job.  These concrete pumps are very flexible and highly mobile. Additionally there are trailer mounted concrete pumps and stationary concrete pumps.  Trailer mounted concrete pumps can be attached to a tow vehicle and delivered to various sited for concrete placement.   Pipe and hose is attached to the outlet of these trailer mounted concrete pumps and laid out to reach the area to be poured.  The flexible hose on the end is manuvered by a labor crew to pour the concrete where required.

Stationary concrete pumps are usually much larger and more powerful.  They are often used on high rise buildings or jobs where concrete must be pumped for a long distance.  While truck mounted concrete pumps with booms deliver from 700 to 1,100 PSI on the concrete, stationary concrete pumps can deliver more pressure, even up to 3,000 PSI.  Stationary concrete pumps can be used to pump concrete to nearly any height.  Concrete was pumped by a Schwing Stetter concrete pump to a height of 715M or 2,345 ft on the Parbati Hydro-electric project in India.  In Dubai a Putzmeister BSA14000SHP-D stationary pump pumped concrete 606M (1,988 ft) to the top of the  Burj Khalifa Tower These stationary concrete pumps can be powered bu diesel engines up to 700 horsepower or by electric motors. Accessories for extending the reach of these stationary concrete pumps include placing booms and mini placers. Placing booms are booms identical to the booms on the truck mounted mobile concrete pumps that are mounted on pedestals which are attached to the building being constructed.  The placing booms are self contained and are usually powered by an electric motor, but can have a diesel engine.  Placing booms are operated using a remote control connected to the boom or by a radio remote. These booms can reach from 24M to over 40M.  Pacing booms are connected to the stationary concrete pumps with pipe, usually 5 inches in diameter, through which the concrete is pumped.
 
There are several manufacturers of concrete pumps.  The 2 largest manufacturers are German companies Schwing and Putmeister. These 2 manufacturers of concrete pumps hold a dominate share of the market.  Other manufacturers include Sany, Cifa, Jun Jin, Concord, Alliance, and others
