Overview
What is Line Pump Hire?
A line pump (also called a trailer pump or stationary pump) is a compact concrete pump mounted on a trailer or skid, paired with steel and rubber pipelines that carry concrete from the pump hopper to the placement point. Line pumps are ideal for sites where a boom pump can't access — narrow driveways, indoor pours, basements, shotcrete walls and remote locations. Pipeline can be extended to 200 metres or more, routed through buildings or up scaffolding. Line pumps handle a wide range of mixes including standard concrete, grout, screed and shotcrete, with outputs from 20 to 80 cubic metres per hour. They are the go-to choice for renovations, pool surrounds, swimming pool shells, footings and any pour where reach matters more than volume.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a line pump and a boom pump?
A line pump pushes concrete through ground-laid pipeline, while a boom pump uses a hydraulic articulating arm to place concrete from above. Line pumps are better for tight access and low volume; boom pumps are faster for large open pours.
How far can a line pump pump concrete?
Most line pumps comfortably push concrete 80–150 metres horizontally and 20–40 metres vertically. High-output units can run pipeline up to 250 metres depending on the mix design and pressure rating.
Can a line pump be used for shotcrete?
Yes — many line pumps in our network are configured for shotcrete with the correct hose, nozzle and air supply. Tell our dispatch team it's a shotcrete pour and we'll send a shotcrete-capable unit and operator.
How much does line pump hire cost?
Line pump hire typically starts from $600–$900 for a small residential pour and is charged on a call-out plus hourly basis. Pipeline distance, mix type and pour duration all affect the final price.
Do I need to provide water for the pump?
Yes. Line pumps need a clean water supply on site to prime the pipeline before the pour and to flush it afterwards. A standard garden hose connection is sufficient for most jobs.

What builders say about line pumps
Booked a 42m boom pump in Sydney with one phone call. Operator was on site early, set up clean and the pour went perfectly. This is how procurement should work.
We use Aussie Concrete Pumpers across every Melbourne project now. Reliable operators, real coverage in the suburbs, no chasing trucks on pour day.
Needed a line pump for a tight Brisbane back yard slab. Quote in 10 minutes, pump booked next day. Friendly operator, fair price, top job.
