Autumn Equinox Maintenance for Concrete Pump Trucks.
On the autumnal equinox, the sun reaches 180° ecliptic longitude, resulting in a balance of yin and yang, with day and night of equal length—truly a day of "equal autumn colors"!
Pump operators are busy at construction sites. During this special time of year, with projects fully booked and the weather gradually getting colder, extra care should be taken with clothing, food, shelter, and transportation.
Autumn Equinox Maintenance for Concrete Pump Trucks
✅Cleaning Pipelines.
After the high-frequency use of concrete pump trucks during the summer, dirt, dust, and concrete will accumulate and deposit in the pipelines. Combined with the dry autumn weather, this can lead to various pipeline problems if not cleaned promptly. During operation, the grating on the hopper must not be removed, and substandard aggregates or debris should be removed promptly.
✅Increasing Tire Pressure.
In hot weather, many pump operators will release some tire pressure to prevent blowouts. As temperatures drop in autumn, pump operators should inflate tires accordingly. If severe tire wear is observed, tires should be replaced immediately.
✅Check the hydraulic oil tank.
As the weather gets colder in autumn, the viscosity of the hydraulic oil will increase. The equipment needs to be preheated for 5-10 minutes before starting work to prevent damage to the main oil pump due to vacuum caused by excessively thick oil. Before pumping, if the hydraulic oil temperature is below 15°C, extend the idling time to raise the oil temperature.
✅Check the diesel generator set.
Replace the antifreeze in the diesel generator set's water tank. If it contains water, it must be completely drained after each day's work and filled up before the next day's work to prevent the water tank from freezing and cracking due to low temperatures. After starting the generator set, preheat it for five minutes before supplying power to the mixing pump. Clean the air filter daily and frequently change the three filters (air filter, oil filter, and fuel filter) and engine oil.
✅Check Antifreeze
Some pump truck operators use water instead of antifreeze when adding or topping up in the summer. While this may seem harmless on the surface, a sudden drop in temperature can significantly affect the normal operation of the concrete pump truck's cooling system and may even cause it to freeze.
As autumn approaches, it's essential to regularly check the engine oil and antifreeze levels in your concrete pump truck to ensure they are sufficient, not deteriorated, and have reached their replacement interval.
Wishing all pump truck operators good health and all the best!

JIUHE Truck-mounted concrete pump
With the rapid development of the construction industry, methods for transporting concrete are constantly evolving. In the past, stationary concrete pumps (or "trailer concrete pumps") were the primary method, but truck-mounted concrete pumps ( also called "concrete line pump" )have now gradually become the mainstream choice.
Precautions for the Use of Trailer Mounted Concrete Pumps
The trailer-mounted concrete pump is a very common piece of construction equipment; favored by contractors for its compact size, ease of transport, and cost-effectiveness.
What causes the S-pipe of a concrete pump to not swing properly?
The S-tube is a crucial component of a concrete boom pump. Its primary function is to connect the boom's piping to the concrete delivery cylinder, enabling continuous concrete pumping.
