PUTZMEISTER DEBUTS NEW MODELS AT OSM

The latest pumps took center stage at ACPA’s Operations Safety & Maintenance (OSM) Conference in October. More than 200 concrete pumpers, manufacturers, distributors and industry professionals gathered just outside Austin, Texas, for the biennial conference.

The event took place October 5-6 at the Hyatt Lost Pines Resort in Bastrop, nestled on 405 acres along the Lower Colorado River just 20 minutes from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. With the breathtaking Texas Hill Country serving as a backdrop, attendees spent the weekend learning to elevate performance and strengthen safety culture. There were opportunities to network with peers and suppliers, unwind and have some fun to boot.

OSM attendees also learned about the industry’s latest technology and products. Leading manufacturers and distributors were on hand to share their expertise on trucks and equipment, operation and maintenance, safety practices, telematics and other topics important to concrete pumpers. 

PUTZMEISTER MODELS

Among the pumps showcased at the conference were the newest generations of the Putzmeister 47M truck-mounted concrete boom and SANY 47M truck-mounted boom pump. While the Putz 47RZ was available for operators to run the boom, the SANY 47 was used in the OSM pump rodeo’s Skills Operations Competition.

PUTZMEISTER 47RZ

According to Putzmeister, everything about the new 47RZ was designed with the end user in mind. The model redefines innovative engineering, with high-level features and benefits that include increased maneuverability, ease of use and a state-of-the-art remote control system. Weighing less than 32 tons, the 47RZ is one of the lightest in its class and provides an incredible payload reserve.

A key feature of the truck-mounted concrete pump is the pump itself. The Putzmeister iLS pump  delivers significantly improved performance across the board and is the logical advancement of the manufacturer’s tried and proven HLS generation. The 47RZ model comes equipped with the new full-flex outrigger support system: intelligent Setup Assistant (iSA). Putzmeister’s successor to the OSS system, iSA offers a significant improvement to machine reach and flexibility. It is equipped with a reach simulation feature and can be turned on and off with a single switch.

SANY 47 

The SANY 47 truck-mounted boom pump features an updated hopper design that includes integrated RFID with bypass monitoring to ensure safe operations. The updated composite lid can be locked in four positions. The model also comes equipped with the SYSD Touch Display to make operation more user-friendly and allow users to quickly conduct diagnostics. SYSD provides inputs/ outputs, bypasses and fault codes to troubleshoot and get the pump operational. Other features include:

  • Rod-side piston side switch (SBU). Logic boxes on the pump allow operators to switch from low- to high-pressure pumping with just a switch. The high-low pressure changeover switch is located on the back panel.
  • KL and KR supports for OSS. Updated K-support OSS options allow operators to safely work over the front of the cab when having only one rear outrigger shortrigged, giving the operator 240 degrees of safe rotation. 

COMING SOON: TELEBELT TB130 G4

Both units will be on display Jan. 21-23 at World of Concrete 2025 in Las Vegas, along with Putzmeister’s newest-generation Telebelt: TB130 G4. This latest model features several upgrades to maximize output, including improvements to the feeder, transfer and the main belt. The new belt design also allows a conventional cab option. Building on Putzmeister’s Ergonic 3 control system, the TB130 G4 comes equipped with the iSA fullflex outrigger support system.

“Within the engineering process of the new Telebelt TB 130, our engineers gained valuable insight from several owners, technicians and operators around the world to ensure we developed a product with the right features and functionality you need to succeed,” says Dave Wright, Putzmeister director of engineering.
