There are only three ways of handling concrete when it arrives at a worksite in a concrete truck mixer and has to be distributed at different locations, depending on what is needed (foundations, formwork, floor stabs, etc.): |

Either the old way, using a whole host of labourers and wheelbarrows |

Or by using a pump for major heights and/or great distances, also a crane or a tractor might also be used. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or by using conveyor belts for intermediate distances (10 to 17 m), heights of up to 9 m and depth of up to 6.5 m. For this small and medium distances and delivered volumes, Mixer Mounted Concrete Conveyor Belts is the most profitable solution. |
