A concrete pump truck is a major investment, so it’s important to understand its lifespan and how to maximize it.
The longevity of a concrete pump truck depends on several factors, including:
Usage frequency – Pump trucks used more often will have a shorter lifespan due to increased component wear. For most contractors, a pump truck will last at least 10-15 years with normal usage.
Maintenance – Regular maintenance and servicing helps detect issues early and prevents unnecessary damage, which can significantly extend a pump truck’s lifespan. It’s best to follow the manufacturer’s maintenance schedule for the specific model.
Replacing Consumable Parts – Some components on concrete pump trucks are considered consumable, meaning they require regular replacement. These include:
•Tires – Tires typically need to be replaced every 3-5 years depending on usage. Worn out tires affect performance and safety.
•Filters – Oil, fuel, and air filters require replacement every 200-500 hours depending on the type. Clogged filters reduce engine efficiency and can cause damage.
•Pipes and hoses – Concrete pumping hoses and pipes wear out over time and need replacement every 1-3 years. Worn hoses and pipes can burst, spilling concrete.
•Buckets – Concrete buckets, also known as hoppers, typically last 2-4 years before needing replacement. Buckets feed the concrete into the pumping system.
•Other parts – Additional consumable parts include seals, O-rings, valves, cylinder rods, and drive shafts. These components tend to require replacement every 1-3 years.
