New Van Package Fitted with a Concrete Pump

Putzmeister UK develop a new range of concrete pumping commercial vans.

What Van? have reported that Putzmeister UK, the truck-mounted concrete pump specialists, have developed a new pump package based on the Mitsubishi Fuso’s Canter. Sold through the Derby Mercedes-Benz dealership Mertrux these canters are fitted with a RoLine concrete pump.

The new package is developed to provide more flexibility and economy to smaller concrete users who use smaller volumes for projects like private housing.

“At present they typically have two options,” says Putzmeister UK managing director, Austin Quier. “They can either place the concrete using a large pump with a boom, which can often amount to overkill for relatively small volumes, or employ labourers with wheelbarrows, which is inefficient.

“Our new RoLine pump represents a happy medium,” he continues. “It’s light, quiet, easy to operate and can be used in tandem with a ready-mix truck or a volumetric batch mixer.

“It would take 90 barrow-loads to move 4.0m3 of concrete to the back of a house, a task that can be completed in less than six minutes using our system and with a lot less mess and upheaval too.”

Putzmeister opted for Canter on the grounds of price, payload and its compact dimensions.

“We’re running the pump off the truck’s power take-off rather than using a donkey engine which will allow operators to carry up to 100m of delivery line,” Quier says. “The vehicle will be sold as standard with 40m of line.”

Brand New Peugeot Bipper - Now Available to Lease From Just £179.95

As seen on TV, the new Peugeot Bipper has been designed specifically for use in a city environment. It is small and nimble and agile around town able to duck and dive in the tightest spaces. It has one of the most unbelievable size/load volume ratios around being able to carry up to 2.8 m3. Its compact, cubic shape has no obstructions and also includes clever passenger seat storage adding 0.2 m3 making it easy to stack loads. Other smart uses of space include 6 interior hangers and an array of driver cab storage. All this is easily accessible through side sliding doors and asymmetric rear doors enabling you to open in the tightest spot. The driver cab is light and airy and focused on making you comfortable as you may be spending a long time in there. The seats are ergonomically designed for support and are upholstered in comfortable yet durable cloth. To enhance its nimble mobility the front suspension informatively combines McPherson style struts with coil springs whereas the rear uses double arms and torque bars to cope with the loads. All this is attached on flexible mountings to reduce noise and vibrations. There is a choice of three equally capable engines to choose from whichever is the most suitable for your needs. In addition this van is customisable with features such as air con, GPS, cruise control and Bluetooth interface.
