Order a Concrete Trailer Pump (949) 337-3413



Trailer concrete pumps use hydraulic pressure to operate pistons, usually 8 inches to 10 inches in diameter to push liquid concrete delivered to the concrete pump by a transit mix concrete truck, through hose to the concrete slab, concrete foundation, concrete driveway, concrete walkway, etc. Concrete pumps are mounted on trailers or big trucks. The Concrete is delivered by a ready mix truck that pours the concrete into the hopper at the rear of the concrete pump. The concrete pumper will then lay his concrete hose out to the destination he or she is pouring the concrete down for the contractor at your home or a job site.

Water Priming the Concrete Hose:

Many areas use plain water to shoot a 100 ft of 2 or 3” line on pea gravel or other small line jobs. There is some method to the madness. If the hose or line is a minimum of 3.5 times larger diameter than the largest aggregate, the concrete can be pumped easily and small line work is always richer by ratio than most large aggregate work so a good dose of water ahead of the concrete wets the system enough to let the richer than usual mix pass thru without much trouble. If the distance is greater, then gel can be used. The old days of 2&2 are about gone..2 bags sand and 2 bags cement on the first load. I'd bet that most people today haven't ever heard that term before...

Time consuming and the consistency of the slurry was poor at best, often made useless by too much water since there was rarely a good method of mixing beyond a stick and a bucket. Although having some cement in the water prime is better than none at all, it can be counter productive because the operator assumes that he can use more water since he has some cement in there...not true. If using a cement slurry it needs to be pasty and thick enough to coat the pipe much like paint has to cover a wall. Thin it too much and it doesn't cover well enough to do any good.

The “sin” in water prime on a pea rock pump (or any other) is usually in dirty system. Hoses that did not get washed, or get rolled out completely. It only takes a handful of non-lubricated material to plug a small line. Because pea rock is richer, its harder to plug up from the water causing a separation plug. Its almost always dirty system. The bad news in pea rock is that you only get one option should you blow the prime...since many small line pumps with ball valves or a stator do not have a reverse, its in the operators best interest to roll out his hoses each evening when loading to make sure they are clean. As the pump plugs, the operator must pay attention and be quick on the switch or he can easily blow a hose to pieces and/or jam a plug in a hose so hard that it has to be beat out and that is what will damage that hose and cause it to blow next week.....If your 2” was supposed to be hit with a 10 lb sledge hammer it would have a target painted on it.

An operators full attention is required when priming. If he hesitates as a plug appears he can make things lots worse by not being on the switch fast enough. What not to do when the water prime doesn't work? Never ever wind it up and hammer it. ALL that does is cause the system pressure to build up, then some poor soul has to go to the appropriate clamp with a shovel and try to flip the clamp open without being killed by the flying debris as the line flies apart under high pressure. There is no other way to relieve the pressure on many pea rock pumps other than popping open a clamp. THAT is why you decide on your prime wisely and exercise good judgment. If the mix and distance will tolerate a water prime, fine, its your call. Since gel is usually always available its a simple matter of risk assessment.

If the line does plug and does get opened without injury to anyone, the plug has to be found, completely removed, preferably washed out, then the system has to have some lube placed back in for the rest of the distance. Whatever is appropriate. Whatever is available. Time sensitive, use what you have instead of screwing around as the rest of the system sets up and the mud gets hotter. This is where your good judgment comes in.

Big line trailers are similar except that they DO have a reverse, but the improper use of reverse on a trailer can create as much havoc as not having it. How? Concrete is very heavy. One cubic foot can easily be 250lbs depending on the density of the rock and the quantities of rock. When a system is laying down, the mud's too heavy to be pulled by a reverse. It can be pushed if adequate power is available but reversing is pulling it apart and that creates a separation plug of sorts. The materials lightest parts will try to reverse but the heavier rock won;t, so you end up with separation plugging in the flat line.

A nice stand pipe will let you do what you want since gravity is just as good as HP when you need to go the opposite direction. Hit a plug going up? Reverse it hard and WATCH what comes back in the hopper....it only takes 2-3 rev strokes to see if you are pulling material back or if the plug is still in place and not allowing the mud to flow backward. If that happens the reversing will be accompanied by a distinct thumping noise and the characteristic hopper level shooting down with each valve cycle if its pulling a vacuum. This takes a little finesse to work out...gently move forward to get a “bite” on the plug, count the strokes backward...continue to do this until you can accurately tell if the plug is moving or not. If it moves it can be worked out. If it does not move, then counting strokes in reverse will help you in discovering exactly where it is that you need to intervene manually... Plugging on prime in a stand pipe is rare mostly because there is always good grout available, and the system is always cleaned by blowing with water and 2 balls...right? You did find both balls yesterday, didn't you? Clean system primes easy. Its a fact.
