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.

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.
