Seems like a very interesting career. Great video! Was looking to not drive OTR anymore and I'd just so happen to come across your channel. Looks good might have to consider this.
I operate 38-5 putz on daf 85-460 in Melbourne Australia for Rapidcrete concrete pumping and stumbled onto your videos. Nice mate love the content Send it 😎👊🏻
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 🤣🤣He would have thanked you it makes such a big difference..... when i did mine it shot out a good metre there was so much pressure and the pain was instantly gone it felt like a normal nail.
I was surprised to see the dual stage front outriggers. We have an Alliance 40RZ on 3 axles that’s a little over a year old that has single stage front outriggers.
No kidding? I do recall that when the Alliance 41M roll ‘n fold first came to market it had shorter, single stage front outriggers and a larger spread on the rear legs to compensate. I’m wondering if perhaps the single-stage front legs are still available as an option?
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 might be the case, I don’t think the dual stage has a much larger footprint in the front than ours… Could be a design update , who knows
I try not to get into the details of such things as there’s usually a back story leading up to what we see as the end result. Without knowing ALL the circumstances it would irresponsible to pass judgement one way or the other. Put it this way: many areas in North America do not even require mandatory annual structural inspections. You let any concrete pump go long enough without inspection/repair and you’re going to have issues. Now throw in any potential abuse of the equipment into the mix, and there’s a recipe for disaster. Just my take on it.
We have an alliance where I work, the vertical leg of the front outrigger is attached by 4 bolts to the horizontal sliding part.. seems really sketchy. I'm worried the constant jarring of pumping would eventually shear the bolts. My schwing's outriggers are all welded up, which seems like a better design
Putz has used a similar design since 2012-ish. Have not seen or heard a of any issues with said bolts. I believe the purpose is to make servicing the cylinders much easier.
Is it standard to run a 4” tip hose up there? I’m from Texas and we run a 5” tip hose, so no need for reducer off the boom. Just curious. Kick ass job, man!
4” tip-hose is pretty standard around here for pouring commercial decks. We will step up to a 4.5” tip-hose for thicker/larger volume pours (100 yards per hour +). 5” hose is pretty rare here (maybe like a once or twice per year occurrence). Our mixes, for the most part are very gentle/forgiving, which is why we get away with using the smaller hose. Also, it’s pretty rare that we see supply rate for laying it down faster than the 4” is capable of. I watch Muddy Feet’s channel a lot and can see why you guys like the 5” hose down south there. Some of that aggregate and manufactured sand is just nasty looking!
For here in the city, I absolutely love an auto. If we were doing mostly highway driving, I think I’d still consider a manual. The auto is a blessing in stop and go city traffic.
You sir are not going crazy. I had actually uploaded it a week ago and set to private. I guess it messes with the algorithms and when I did eventually set it to public (yesterday), people were not able to find it, so I deleted and reposted.
