Line Pump Hire — Australia-Wide

Trailer-mounted line pumps for slabs, footings, shotcrete and tight-access pours. Australia-wide dispatch with licensed operators and clean, well-maintained equipment.

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.

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.
