How do I make a Booking?

What information do I need before I hire a pump?

• Name and contact details
•  Full site address including postcode
• Date and time for the pump, allowing for 1hr set up
• Size of pump required (help and guidance available)
• Volume and type of concrete, including any additions, fibres etc
• Brief Description of the pour, eg footings, external slab, bridge, deck etc
• Any special requirements, additional pipeline, second man etc

What do I need to supply to ensure a safe and efficient pump pour?

• A level area of hard standing, with no overhead obstructions, on which to set up the pump
• Clear access to the pump for truck mixers to back onto
• Cement to grout the line - 1 x 25kg bag per 10m of pipeline
• Somewhere to deposit excess grout
• A good pump mix of concrete, ensure you tell your concrete supplier that you will be using a pump
• A competent concreting gang to lay the concrete 
• A suitable place for the operator to wash the pump out.  
• A good supply of water (the pump does carry its own supply)

How will the hire look on the day?

1. The pump will arrive and liaise with the customer before set up
2.  The customer will be asked to sign the job sheet in the "on hire" box
3. The concrete mixer truck will arrive and back onto the pump
4. The pump operator will grout the line and commence pumping
