They often clog the air space so you end up with a tower crane idle, and an operator sitting without being able to accomplish much while you spend $3000 on the pump and operator. We could be talking about spending $4000 to do work you could quickly accomplish with a large concrete bucket. Several times in my career as an operator I have poured trucks at a rate of 10 yards in 20 minutes. One job was with a 3 yard bucket in foundation pours. The other was on a 14 story when we lost a pump and the deck pour trucks were backing up. The crew was spot on and not what we should conventionally expect. The crane was also a Liebherr 316 with a hoist that is commonly 2x the speed of just about anything else.

Low loading heights at 2.6 Yards

In a common scenario, the challenge is that 3 yard and four yard round buckets are just too tall. you need a laydown concrete bucket so the loading height isn't tall. Our 5 yard concrete buckets are 5'-5" as a loading height. This means you can tailgate the concrete at a speedy rate at the slump you want and load that bucket in about a minute. If you are pouring in a foundation or deck with a crane, you could pour it in a couple of minutes too. Suddenly you have 15 minute cycles to empty the truck. By the time the driver cleans out and the next truck is set, you've beaten the trucks, no pump involved.

Four yards with a hose. Common in Europe.

Laydown buckets are expensive when they are 4 and 5 yards. $12,000 - $19,000 are retail rates. But the results of the spend can save you $3000 per day. Four to six utilizations pay for the bucket and you'll have an asset for the next 15 to 20 years. Charge the job for the tool and make the bucket a quiet profit center for your business. Your competitors will be scratching their heads on how you bid the job and missed the 15 pump days that swings your bid to the winning one. Call Seattle Tower Crane to make use of the tools you already have on site and win that bid.
