Contractors may sometimes require or request the use of a double-ended discharge hose or a double "S"-shaped steel elbow when pouring concrete. This bulletin discusses the reasons why the ACPA does NOT recommend the use of either of these devices.
Any use of a placing boom for lifting variable loads may cause cracking, bending or deformation of multiple components as well as move the center of gravity beyond the tipping point of the machine. This bulletin re-establishes the rule, which forbids this practice as well as explains the reasoning behind it.
The ACPA is dedicated to the education and promotion of concrete pump safety to the concrete pumping industry and for all those who come into contact with a concrete pump on a construction job. We're here to teach you how you, and others around you, can stay safer on the job.
Our instructors have over 50 years of combined concrete pumping experience.
