Planning for Placing Booms
Placing boom work is typically planned around:

Duration of deployment (often long-term)
Number of booms needed for coverage
Pipeline layout and staging requirements
We can quote many projects remotely using drawings, volume, and planning calls, with site visits when needed.

Our Placing Boom Equipment
Putzmeister 38 Meter RZ – 5 Section
Having all of the reach of a 38m pump, with the folded overall length of a 32m, this truck can pull into congested driveways and unfold while avoiding overhead wires and surrounding trees. This is the most popular make and model of pump worldwide for the last 4 years.
Alliance 38 Meter 4-Section Boom
If you have a more straight forward set up and no need for complex positioning or articulation, then the 38 meter 4-section boom will be your best choice. With its versatility for mid-sized jobs, it offers a balance of reach and maneuverability in tight spaces. Its vertical height is 121'9" and horizontal reach of 108'7".
Putzmeister 36 Meter Z – 4 Section
With 96’ of net reach and a customer favourite 4 section Z folding boom, this pump makes quick work of pours ranging from lean mix and mud slabs to 40mm aggregate and steel fibers. Generous deck space also allows for up to 250’ of 4” system to be delivered to site without an extra truck.
How Placing Boom Installation Works
Placing boom setup is more involved than a typical pump day. You’re not just staging a truck — you’re building a vertical pumping system.
1. Deliver Boom and Mast System
Deliver the placing boom and hydraulic mast system to site and stage it for crane installation.
2. Equipment Setup
Coordinate crane lifts and position the mast system for initial installation on the structure.
3. Mount Mast to Building Core
Secure the mast system to the building core so the placing boom can safely operate and climb as the structure rises.
4. Install Vertical Steel Pipeline
Install and secure the vertical steel pipeline from ground level up to the active working floors.
4. Extend Pipeline as Building Rises
Add and secure additional pipeline sections floor by floor as the structure grows.

Safety and Operator Compliant
High-rise pumping brings higher risk because you’re operating a hydraulic boom on unfinished floors at height. Working-at-heights awareness, exclusion zones, and obstacle clearance are critical. See our health and safety standards.

FAQs About Placing Boom Services
Check out our frequently asked questions and see if we have the answer for you.
When should I book a placing boom for my project?
You should involve us as early as possible — ideally during the planning stage. Placing booms require transportation, crane coordination, mast setup, and vertical line installation, so they are not last-minute equipment. If you call a week before you need one, availability and logistics can become a challenge.
What information do you need to provide an accurate placing boom quote?
We need structural or architectural drawings and, most importantly, projected concrete volume. Total volume and expected daily pour volume are what pricing is primarily based on. Floor plate size also helps determine whether one or multiple placing booms will be required.
How is a placing boom project priced?
Placing boom jobs are primarily volume-based rather than hourly. Meter charges typically carry more weight than labor charges, and total projected concrete volume plays a major role in pricing. Because every high-rise differs in height, duration, and logistics, pricing is tailored specifically to your project.
How long does a placing boom stay on a high-rise project?
Placing booms are typically installed for at least a year, often longer. On large downtown towers, they may remain in place for two to three years as the building rises floor by floor. They are designed for long-term vertical construction, not short-term pours.
How high can a placing boom pump concrete?
A placing boom can climb as high as your building goes. We’ve operated systems on towers exceeding 50 stories. Because the boom climbs with the structure, height is rarely the limitation — planning and proper vertical line setup are what matter most.
Do I need more than one placing boom on my building?
It depends on your floor plate size and building layout. Narrow towers often require one placing boom, while wider structures may require two or more to achieve full coverage efficiently. Reviewing drawings early allows us to determine the correct setup.
How much notice do you need before installation?
We recommend at least three weeks’ notice whenever possible. Placing booms are limited in number and require coordination for cranes, mast systems, and transportation. The earlier we’re involved, the smoother the installation process will be.
What happens if the placing boom needs maintenance during the project?
All of our placing booms follow strict inspection schedules, including four-month inspections and comprehensive annual checks. Preventative maintenance is performed on-site to minimize downtime. This ensures reliability on long-duration high-rise projects.
How does the vertical pipeline system get set up?
A vertical steel pipeline system is installed from ground level to the placing boom. Pipes are secured to the building core and extended upward as the building rises. This setup allows continuous pumping from ground level to upper floors without relocating equipment.
Do you need a site visit to quote a placing boom job?
In many cases, we can quote based on drawings, volume projections, and phone discussions. However, some projects benefit from a site walk-through to review access, crane coordination, and staging. We tailor the quoting process to your project’s complexity.
