How does a concrete pump work?
A concrete pump works by using a valve system and the basic principles of hydraulics. After a mixing truck pours liquid concrete into a hopper, the concrete pump sucks the liquid concrete through a valve system and into the area where it needs to be laid down. It pulls concrete out of the hopper.29 Jul 2020
