Actually, boom pumps are better known as concrete boom pumps, boom pump trucks, or even concrete pump trucks. These names primarily stem from their distinctive design: a vehicle-mounted mechanical boom. The entire boom pump system is centrally mounted on a large vehicle chassis, allowing for free movement on urban and rural roads. While the vehicle is in motion, the long, multi-section boom is folded and retracted onto the frame. Once at the work site, the frame is secured to the solid ground by its own powerful support system, while the long boom, carrying the delivery pipeline, can extend across a vast three-dimensional space. Therefore, in China, boom pumps have a more poetic name : sky pump.
The word “pressure” here in the title of this article emphasizes the crucial role of its pumping power throughout the boom pumping system. Whether reaching the clouds, plunging deep underground, or flexibly covering large pouring areas, thanks to their powerful pumping pressure, boom concrete pumps enable efficient, stable and continuous concrete delivery in complex terrain and challenging environments.

How Does LUTON Boom Pressure Concrete Pump Work
Simply put, the boom pressure concrete pump utilizes a hydraulic system to drive the reciprocating motion of a piston, continuously drawing concrete from a hopper and delivering it to a pipeline system. Combined with a boom, the concrete is precisely delivered to the construction site through the pump pipe, enabling continuous, high-lift pumping over long distances.
The operating principle of a boom pump truck can be divided into five core parts: power transmission, pumping system, boom movement, hydraulic control, and electrical coordination. These systems work together to achieve efficient concrete delivery and precise distribution. The details are as follows:
Power Transmission – Switching Between Driving And Pumping
Chassis Power Source
The configuration of boom pump truck chassis is diverse, usually using international brands such as Mercedes Benz and Volvo, as well as various first tier brands from China. It can be optionally selected by customers. The pump truck is equipped with a high-power engine and a transfer case. When driving, the engine power is transmitted to the transfer case through the transmission shaft, driving the rear axle to move the vehicle.
Pump State Switching
When the operator turns the rocker switch to the pumping position, the cylinder pushes the shift fork to move, the cylinder pushes the shift fork to move, and the clutch sleeve connects the input shaft with the idler gear. Power is divided through the gear transmission chain (two axis gear → three axis gear → three axis):
Three axis right end: directly dives the boom arm pump to work, providing hydraulic power for the boom arm system.
Left end of three-axis: drives the main oil pump to work, providing hydraulic power for the pumping system.
Through the action of the cylinder, the boom pump truck can quickly switch between driving and pumping states.
Pumping System – Suction and Pressure Delivery Of Concrete
Hydraulic Drive
The pumping system is driven by an electric motor or diesel engine, and constant power control is achieved through a hydraulic system to automatically adjust the delivery volume. When hydraulic oil enters the main cylinder, the piston rod extends and retracts the other piston rod through a sealed circuit.
Concrete Conveying Process
- Inhalation Stage
When the piston rod of the main oil cylinder retracts, self suction occurs in the conveying cylinder. The concrete in the hopper is sucked into the conveying cylinder through the sliding valve suction port under atmospheric pressure and the assistance of the mixing blades.
- Pressure Delivery Stage
The other main oil cylinder pushed the piston rod to extend and press out the concrete in the conveying cylinder. Concrete enters the conveying port and Y-shaped pipe, and is finally discharged through the flexible hose at the end of the boom.
- Loop Back And Forth
The system automatically changes direction, allowing the pressure oil to alternately enter the main cylinder and complete continuous suction.
Boom Frame System – Collaborative Movement Of Multiple Arms
Boom Frame Structure
The boom is composed of 3 to 5 high-strength steel plates which are bent and nested together, connected by links, pins and hinges. They can be bent into R, Z or composite shapes to adapt to different construction scenarios. Each arm is equipped with an independent hydraulic cylinder to control its extension, folding and angle adjustment.
Principle Of Motion
- Rotation
The hydraulic motor drives the gears on the rotating table, driving the boom to rotate 360° around the base.
- Expansion And Folding
The hydraulic cylinder drives the piston to reciprocate, achieving the deployment and retraction of the arm. For example, a rubber hose is connected to the end of the four section boom to prevent concrete segregation.
- Load Analysis
The boom needs to bear its own weight, concrete weight, and wind load. Taking a 5-section arm pump truck as an example the weight of concrete in the end hose can reach 92kg, which needs to be precisely controlled by a hydraulic system.
Hydraulic System – Power Transmission And Control
Pumping Hydraulic System
To provide power for concrete transportation, the suction and pressure delivery of concrete are achieved through the reciprocating motion of the main oil cylinder.
Arm Hydraulic System
Control the extension, rotation, and folding of the boom. Adopting a balanced valve design even if the multi way valve oil supply is interrupted or the oil pipe breaks, the boom cylinder can still work independently to ensure safety.
Hydraulic Cylinder
The piston type hydraulic cylinder achieves reciprocating motion of the piston rod through a sealed design with and without rod chambers. For example, the arm mounted oil pump of the Rexroth pump truck adopts an axial piston pump design, with the plunger and plunger hole highly precisely matched, bringing excellent volumetric efficiency.
Electrical System – Intelligent Coordination And Remote Monitoring
Remote Control And Sensors
The operator controls the arm movement through the remote control, and the sensor monitors the real-time status of the pump truck (such as the angle of leg deployment, arm position, etc.) to ensure safe operation.
PLC Controller
Process sensors information and issue commands, coordinate the work of various systems. For example, when the legs are not fully extended, the PLC controller will limit the arm movement to prevent tipping.
Remote Monitoring
Through the GPRS/GPS system, the status of the boom pressure pump can be transmitted in real-time to the control center, enabling remote fault diagnosis and scheduling management.
