Pour easier with pavement pouring attachments like concrete chutes, placing booms, concrete buggies, paver screeds and finishing brooms.
scale projects like sidewalks, curbs and slabs, where you need precise placement.
Concrete Placing Booms Concrete placing booms are a game-changer for large projects like high-rise buildings and bridges. They’ re mounted on cranes or stationary platforms, and they have articulating arms that reach over obstacles to pour concrete exactly where you want it. That can include warehouses, stadiums, schools, shopping centers and upper floors of large buildings, chimneys, walls, oil drilling platforms, dams and more. When projects demand difficult placement, concrete placing booms with concrete pumps can provide unmatched range and precision.
Concrete Buggies If you’ re navigating concrete through narrow spaces or across uneven jobsite terrain, nothing beats the mobility abilities of concrete buggies( sometimes called power buggies or Georgia buggies). These small, wheeled handcarts or vehicles transport concrete from mixers to remote areas of jobsites, like interior slabs or foundations, where trucks and pumps can’ t easily reach. This prevents work interruptions and stoppages and reduces the time and labor it takes to move concrete material.
Paver Screeds
Paver screeds are leveling attachments that can be used by hand for smaller jobs or mounted on paving machines for large jobs. While
they can look like a long twoby-four, most are made of reinforced aluminum or steel. They smooth fresh concrete or asphalt to give it an even, continuous surface. For contractors pouring large-scale projects like parking lots, highways and runways, where it’ s crucial to have a uniform surface, screeds are essential to getting the job done right.
Finishing Brooms
Finishing brooms add final texture and slip-resistant finish to paving projects. They can be handheld or attach to mechanical finishers for large-scale projects. Once concrete is placed and leveled, sweep over the surface with a finishing broom to add traction, remove pour and smoothing marks, and perfect the surface for safety and a finished look.
