A concrete boom placer is an end-distribution system for concrete placement. It works with a concrete pump and delivers concrete through a rotating boom. It improves efficiency by 4-6 times compared to manual work. One unit can replace 8–10 workers. It ensures consistent, smooth concrete placement while reducing spillage and material waste on construction sites.

Key Technology Behind Concrete Boom Placer
Core systems include:
- Hydraulic system (25MPa working pressure)
- 360° slewing mechanism
- Wear-resistant pipeline system
- Truss boom structure
- Remote control system
These ensure stable operation under heavy workloads.
Why is Concrete Boom Placer more efficient?
Real performance comes from three key systems:
- Stable pump pressure transfer
- 360° boom rotation coverage
- Precise end hose control
Together, they make concrete boom placer stable in large pours.
Especially in high-rise projects.
Types of Concrete Boom Placer
Different projects need different boom placer machine options.
1. Fixed Concrete Boom Placer
Used in high-rise core structures.
It climbs with the building.
Best stability.
2. Walking Concrete Placing Boom
Used in airports and large slabs.
Moves on rails.
Better coverage range.
3. Crawler Concrete Boom Placer
Works on rough ground.
Good mobility in mud or uneven sites.
Very flexible.
4. Ship Mounted Concrete Placing Boom
Used in ports and bridge projects.
Works on water-based construction.
Often paired with spider boom concrete pump.
Selection Guidance for Buyers: Confirm your maximum horizontal pouring radius first. 12‑15m models fit mid‑rise building jobs; 18‑21m units are recommended for large‑scale commercial or infrastructure sites.
For sites without stable concrete foundation, prioritize crawler‑type placing boom to adapt to uneven ground.
Applications of Concrete Boom Placer
1. High-rise buildings
Used for slabs and columns.
Reduces manual labor.
2. Bridges and foundations
Supports long-distance concrete delivery.
Good for complex structures.
3. Industrial floors
Fast large-area pouring.
Saves labor cost.
4. Special projects
Ports, tunnels, and water projects.
Often require spider boom concrete pump support.
Real Project Case
A Philippine general contractor undertook a 13‑story commercial complex project. On‑site conditions limited manual concrete distribution, resulting in slow pouring cycles and inconsistent concrete layer thickness. The project team deployed our YG‑18m concrete boom placer machine for a commercial building project. The machine worked together with stationary concrete pumps to cover most of the building floor area.
Before use: slow pouring and uneven placement.
After use:
- 45% higher daily output
- 35% labor cost reduction
- Fewer dead zones in pouring
The client said:
“The site became much more organized.”
Simple but important.
Concrete Placing Boom FAQ
Pump concrete with 120–220mm slump.
Yes. Standard 125mm system fits most pumps.
About 8–10 years with proper maintenance.
Inspect pipeline wear, boom joint bolts and hydraulic seals every week; replace severely worn delivery pipes in time to prevent concrete leakage.
Most YG series support wired or wireless remote operation; you may specify control mode during configuration.
