Boom Pump Hire — Australia-Wide
Truck-mounted boom pumps from 24 metres to 70 metres, placed by approved operators across every Australian state. One call books the right boom for your pour, on the day you need it.
Overview
What is Boom Pump Hire?
A boom pump is a truck-mounted concrete pump with a hydraulic placing boom that folds and articulates to deliver concrete precisely where it's needed — over buildings, through window openings, or across obstructions. Boom sizes range from 24 metres for tight residential slabs through to 70-metre Z-fold booms for high-rise and infrastructure pours. The boom is operated by a remote-control unit, allowing the operator to stand at the placement point and position the hose end with millimetre accuracy. Boom pumps move large volumes of concrete quickly — typically 60 to 160 cubic metres per hour — and replace the need for cranes, kibbles or wheelbarrows on most commercial and civil sites. They are the safest, fastest and most cost-effective way to place high-volume concrete in Australia today.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How far can a boom pump reach?
Boom pumps in our network range from 24 metres up to 70 metres of vertical reach, with proportional horizontal reach. The right size depends on the height of the pour, the distance from the truck setup to the placement point and the obstructions in between.
What size boom pump do I need for a house slab?
Most single-storey house slabs are best served by a 24m or 28m boom pump. They set up in a single driveway position, reach over the house and place concrete anywhere on the slab. For double-storey or sites with difficult access, a 32m may be needed.
How much does boom pump hire cost in Australia?
Boom pump hire is typically charged on a call-out plus hourly basis, with rates varying by boom size and location. As a guide, a 32m boom for a residential pour usually runs from $1,200–$1,800 for a half-day. Request a free quote for an exact price.
Do I need a licensed operator?
Yes. In Australia, concrete placing booms must be operated by a person holding the correct High Risk Work Licence (PB class) and the truck must be driven by an appropriately licensed driver. Every operator in our network is fully ticketed, insured and compliant.
How far in advance do I need to book?
We recommend booking 5–7 days in advance for residential and 2–3 weeks for commercial pours. Same-day and next-day dispatch is often available — call our dispatch line and we'll find an available pump near you.
Reviews
What builders say about boom pumps
Called Aussie Concrete Pumpers at 6am for a bridge pour the next day. They had a 52m boom on site, on time, with the right operator. One phone call — sorted.
We use ACP across three states now. The operators are consistent, the paperwork is always in order and dispatch actually picks up the phone. Makes our job easier.
First time hiring a concrete pump. The team walked me through what I needed, sent a line pump that fit our access and the operator was a pro. Couldn't fault it.
