That 4800 is a beast of a pump did a few big jobs with it but as long as we owned it we only used an Alan key to adjust flow control best get some muffs for your radio cause it's a lowd one.
I was actually surprised at how relatively quite it is (by Deutz standards). We had a Putz 2019 of roughly the same vintage, and this thing purrs like a rolls Royce in comparison.
Thank you for all the great videos Scott your knowledge of the pumping concrete industry has been so inspirational in my experience with Concrete pumping. I started in may of 2020 with no experience and training I had figure it out with Advice from Independent Concrete pumping had 3 boom party's the first year. I Love my Job Concrete pumping is the best Job I ever had and learning new ways to be better having a 36m pump I use for boom pumping and line pumping Your videos are the best for helping me become better operator Thank you for sharing your experiences with me
Thank you so much for the kind words. My intent with the channel from the beginning was to make short, instructional videos (how to suck the sponge, how to washout, how to set outriggers/dunnage) for our new hires, and then people actually started watching them! 😁😁😁 If some of these videos can help a newer guy avoid learning things the hard/dangerous way (as most of my generation did), it’s a win in my books. Appreciate you watching and commenting 🙏🙏🙏
You say that Thom-Katt equipment does not have optimal performance for high altitudes, of course, that is correct, but hey, they do have good things, here we are setting a record with these small units. What happens is that the delay in placing concrete in a slab takes all day with 60 or 90 cubic meters yes but well with 5 inch pipe here is the daily bread in any application blessings mk brother you already know pumping concrete family is the number one RUclips channel in Colombia hahaha this is beautiful scott 🇨🇦🤝🇨🇴
They’ll certainly get the concrete up there, just not with enough volume. What happens often around here is that we’ll see a delay in supply for an hour or two, and then get swamped with trucks for the next hour or two following that. We need a pump with enough volume to play catch up and bang out those trucks when they’re lined up around the block. If we’re aiming to average 40 cubic meters per hour through the day we need a machine that can realistically push 55-60 meters per hour during those peak times in supply. With most of these being high in chemical, a TK50/60 would be lucky to put down much more than a 15 cubes per hour at 20+ stories. It would get it there, just not fast enough/much any faster than by crane ‘N bucket.
That AJs shirt looks mint. Need to get me one of those 😂 I love a 38-5 too. It’s a great size but mine is a concord not a putz. I also don’t the love it’s a ZR. I’d prefer a RZ or ZZ
Beautiful machine! We don’t have too many Schwing machines in our market, but I always admire the craftsmanship with which they are built when I do get a chance to be around one. Glad you’re enjoying the channel. I very much appreciate you watching and commenting.
I see you are doing your rounds man 😂. Never tried water prime but you seem to have luck with it . Looks very busy in your area. Keep up the good work brother!
Thanks man. Truthfully, water-prime is all I do for boom sizes 40M and smaller. That being said, we do have some pretty forgiving mix designs in our area.
Scott, a video that explains the zx sk and px distribution lines that you use in your long projects would be great because there are operators who do not know the lines and pressures of a zx or sk. the types of clamps with shapes of 300 bar everything in general would be great brother blessings God bless you and your beautiful family and work team from Colombia el chapo de lasbombas 🇨🇦🤝🇨🇴
Question, so why have a gauge for water pressure when cleaning 4800? I didn’t see the pressure being regulated at all so I’m wondering if it’s for emergencies if you have segregation and it’s a way to identify plugs? Also curious as to why not fill hopper with water and push it with pump? U skip a step by cleaning your system and lines simultaneously?
The pressure gauge is there to help indicate if there’s a plug in the line during the clean-out process. We flush the lines right away because once the gate-valve is hammered shut, it’s imperative to flush the lines as soon as possible. With all that head-pressure pushing against the gate valve, time is of the essence in avoiding a dry-pack once the valve has been reopened (especially with this CDF/“lean” concrete mix. We prefer to prioritize the hardline versus the hopper wash as a plug in the hardline (which we’ve had here before) can be a major ordeal with all of the pipe being bolted to the side of a straight vertical drop like this.

Completely agree. Our guys got a nice bump in pay last year, but our region still lags far behind others in terms of wages and benefits paid to pump operators in areas with similar cost of living expenses. Not so coincidentally, so do the pump rental rates/charges. I would suspect we will this see this change significantly over the next few years. The west coast is a WILD market.
I still have a hard time wrapping my head around the business system. Our customers expect us to show up with a reliable and presentable piece of equipment which cost approximately 250,000.00 for a good used 38m or 520,000.00 for a new one and pump 100 yards approximately which is approximately $18,000.00 in concrete through our reliable and presentable pump for $800-900.00 dollars. Then you have pump operators thinking they need to be paid $300-400 a day. Which pull in to the yard after they’ve pumped this 100 yards park the truck and the keys are still swinging in the ignition as they are pulling off to go home before noon. Without washing the truck and pump area. Not greasing anything not going by and maybe dropping off a few business cards to some job sites. Oh did I forget they want a guaranteed 40 hours a week? What’s left for the risk takers! DAMN! y’all going to have me start drinking way to early today. 🤣🤣🤣
@@MuddyfeetConcretePumping and let’s not forget that if/when our equipment has a “hiccup” on site, and loads of concrete start getting sent away, we are often expected to provide compensation for at least a portion of that as well….

I’d venture to say most of us got into this business because we liked concrete pumping and thought the equipment “looked really cool”, rather than because our multiple business degrees led us towards this highly lucrative business venture.

I am from Algeria. I have been watching your videos for a while, so if you do not upload a new video, I go back to previous videos
Man I’d love to fly over and have some time in Canada and see how you guys do it
That is a giant ass hole in the ground. The force of the concrete going down from gravity must be immense.
It’s definitely a lot of weight moving down through the pipeline, but pressure within the pipe is very little relative to pumping it vertical.

dimond!!!!!
Do you charge just for that line pump to sit there when there not using it ?
Pump is charged at a monthly rental rate when it stays on site. Operator, fuel, and yardage are charged per usage.
Question, so why have a gauge for water pressure when cleaning 4800? I didn’t see the pressure being regulated at all so I’m wondering if it’s for emergencies if you have segregation and it’s a way to identify plugs? Also curious as to why not fill hopper with water and push it with pump? U skip a step by cleaning your system and lines simultaneously?
Also not sure if I didn’t see it or did you announce who ever won that mini schwing replica ? I’ve been checking comments to see who’s worthy

On our Putz pumps we don't have OSS switches, it's automatic with sensors so the pump knows how the supports are extended and only allows what's safe.
We’ve been wanting that same system in North America here for years. Apparently it’s coming soon.
Supposedly it’s a “dumbed down” version which we could be seeing.
Call it holly box 😂
Honestly I find the pay doesn’t match up the work in our market everyone just wants to drive a mixer for the same pay
