Qualities that a concrete pump operator should have

To become a concrete pump operator, one needs to have very special talents. In many projects, he must assume the responsibilities of his job, such as:

Pump truck driver (pump truck is a large equipment), safety officer, electrician, concrete expert - familiar with what kind of concrete mixture can be pumped, decision maker, professional cleaning technician

An excellent concrete pump operator should also be a construction site foreman. As a professional core personnel of a construction site, he must accumulate rich construction knowledge, know how to park the pump truck at a reasonable construction location, and be able to troubleshoot equipment failures. If the pump truck finds a leak, he should also be a qualified mechanic.

Pumping is a hard job that requires both physical and mental effort. Sometimes, you may need to lift a pumping pipe full of concrete weighing 18 pounds per foot. Sometimes, you have to get up before four in the morning to prepare for pumping operations. Therefore, pumping concrete is not only a job, but also a professional skill.

Prerequisites

What kind of person can become a potential pumper? What kind of personality do you need to have to become a successful pumper in future construction operations?

First of all, he must be an excellent employee of the company. He can be punctual, have common sense, and be trainable. The company can train an excellent employee to be a pumper, but an excellent pumper may not be an excellent employee. An excellent pumper must also be confident, say "no", be able to take responsibility, and not be timid.

Another important quality is to be familiar with mechanical equipment (pump trucks), including mechanical systems, electrical systems, hydraulic systems and various other technologies. Today's concrete pump trucks are both advanced and complex. A standard large-scale pump truck is equipped with three control panels - a standard panel, a short-range remote control panel, and a radio remote control panel. All these control devices have greatly increased the functionality of the pump truck, but they are a new challenge for pumpers.

Finally, a pumper must also be proactive, such as being able to get up early and work late. In addition, service reliability is also very critical. Because during construction, the entry and exit of many other types of operating equipment depends on the cooperation with the pumper.
