Satellite Boom & Placing Boom Hire — Australia-Wide
Separate placing booms and satellite booms for high-rise, podium and staged pours. Decouple the pump from the placement point and keep concrete moving on every level.
Overview
What is Satellite Boom Pump Hire?
A satellite boom — also called a separate placing boom — is a stationary hydraulic placing boom that sits on a deck, core or tower mount, fed by a ground-level high-pressure line pump. As a build climbs, the satellite boom is jumped to the next slab so concrete can be placed across the full floor without moving a truck-mounted pump. Satellite setups are essential on most high-rise and large podium projects, allowing continuous placement above 60 metres where truck-mounted booms can't reach. Aussie Concrete Pumpers supplies satellite booms with the matched high-pressure pump, qualified operators and the rigging crew to jump them between levels.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
When do I need a satellite or separate placing boom?
Once a building exceeds the reach of a truck-mounted boom (typically above 60–70m) or when continuous placement across a wide deck is required, a satellite boom paired with a high-pressure line pump is the standard solution.
Can the boom be jumped between levels?
Yes. Most separate placing booms are designed to be jumped using the tower crane or self-climbing hydraulic frames as the build progresses.
Do you supply the pump and the boom together?
Yes — we supply a matched package: high-pressure twin-cylinder pump, pipeline, placing boom and qualified operators for both the pump and the boom.

What builders say about satellite 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.
