The Challenge

Keeping a Working Pump Compliant

Concrete pumps work hard: high-pressure hydraulics, a multi-section boom, outriggers on uneven ground and delivery pipes under constant wear. Under WHS Regulation 2022 the owner needs documented, periodic inspection by a competent person.

The pump also needed its log book, manuals, VSB6 modification plate and previous inspection records confirmed before the new certificate could be issued.

Scope of Work

  • Documents: operator manual, log book, previous boom inspection
  • Boom sections, lugs, pins, sheaves and hazard decals
  • Slew system, slew bolts, bearing and pinion
  • Outriggers and stabilizer controls
  • Hydraulic rams, luff cylinders, hoses and oil cooler
  • Air, electrical, chassis and drive systems
  • Delivery pipes, clamps, safety clips and emergency stops
