Influence of pump truck and chassis on the service life of concrete pump truck

Personally, there are two key factors that determine the service life of the concrete pump truck: one is the service life of the boom and the other is the service life of the chassis, which determine how long the pump truck can work.

The boom is an important structural part of the pump truck at work. Once the boom is damaged or the end of its life, the pump truck will lose its original significance. No boom pump truck, I think can only be called vehicle-mounted pump. Therefore, the service life of the boom directly determines the service life of the concrete pump truck.

In order to prolong the service life of the boom, it is necessary to use high-strength steel for the boom, adopt a more lightweight design, and optimize the working pressure of the pumping system to reduce the impact force caused by the boom when pumping concrete. At the same time, daily maintenance and maintenance of the boom is also the key to improve the service life of the boom. Putzmeister's engineers have designed booms that can last up to 15 years under simulated conditions, which means that most pump-truck booms can last more than 10 years without a problem.

Because the replacement cost of the boom is too high, when the multi-section boom is damaged, some people would rather choose to give up its maintenance. This time also means that the life of this pump truck is coming to an end.

The importance of the chassis for the pump car is self-evident, if the chassis can not work properly, it can not provide power for the hydraulic system, at this time, it can only choose to scrap.
