Because it is a fluid, concrete can be pumped to where it is needed. Here, a concrete transport truck is feeding concrete to a concrete pumper, which is pumping it to where a slab is being poured.

A concrete pump is a tool for transferring liquid concrete by pumping. Concrete is a construction material composed of Cement (commonly Portland cement) as well as other cementitious materials such as Fly ash and Slag For information on Wikipedia project-related discussions see WikipediaVillage pump. There are two main classifications of concrete pumps.

The first type of concrete pump is attached to a truck. This article is about the semi-truck For the North American use of the word see Pickup truck. It is known as a truck-mounted boom pump because it uses a remote-controlled articulating robotic arm (called a boom) to place concrete with pinpoint accuracy. A remote control is an electronic device used for the remote operation of a Machine. A robot is a mechanical or Virtual Artificial agent In practice it is usually an electro-mechanical system which by its appearance or movements Boom pumps are used on most of the larger construction projects as they are capable of pumping at very high volumes and because of the labor saving nature of the robotic arm. The volume of any solid plasma vacuum or theoretical object is how much three- Dimensional space it occupies often quantified numerically

The second main type of concrete pump is mounted on a trailer, and it is commonly referred to as a trailer pump or line pump. This pump requires steel or rubber concrete placing hoses to be manually attached to the outlet of the machine. Steel is an Alloy consisting mostly of Iron, with a Carbon content between 0 HOSE (aka SHOE is a term used for playing a mixed game of Poker consisting of four different poker games Those hoses are linked together and lead to wherever the concrete needs to be placed. Trailer pumps normally pump concrete at lower volumes than boom pumps and are used for smaller volume concrete placing applications such as swimming pools, sidewalks, and single family home concrete slabs. A swimming pool, swimming bath, wading pool, or simply a pool, is an artificially enclosed Body of water intended for Swimming or A sidewalk (chiefly North American English) pavement ( British English and Philadelphia dialect) footpath ( Australian English

There are also skid-mounted and rail mounted concrete pumps, but these are uncommon and only used on specialized jobsites such as mines and tunnels. Mining is the extraction of valuable Minerals or other geological materials from the earth usually (but not always from an Ore body A tunnel is an underground passageway The definition of what constitutes a tunnel is not universally agreed upon
