YG Machinery supplied a long distance concrete pump to a bridge maintenance crew in Saudi Arabia. The crew needed to repair concrete on a highway bridge. The work area was under the bridge. Access was difficult. Mixer trucks could not get close.
The crew used a YG-40 diesel concrete pump. The pump sat on the roadside. A 150m pipe delivered concrete under the bridge.
The repair was finished in one week instead of three. The site supervisor said the pump reached where trucks could not go. They will use it for every bridge job.
A Saudi Bridge Crew Needed a Long Distance Concrete Pump
A bridge maintenance crew in Saudi Arabia was tasked with repairing concrete on a highway bridge. The damage was under the bridge deck. The work area was below the structure.
Getting concrete to the work area was the problem. Mixer trucks could not drive under the bridge. The height was too low. The ground was uneven. There was no road for trucks to access the repair site.
The crew considered manual methods. Workers could carry concrete in buckets. But that would take weeks. The crew would need many workers. The work would be slow and unsafe.
They needed a concrete delivery pump that could move concrete a long distance through a pipe.
Why a Long Distance Diesel Concrete Pump Was the Right Choice?
The crew searched for a mini concrete pump for sale that could handle long horizontal runs. They found YG Machinery. The YG-40 diesel concrete pump had several features that matched their needs.
Long horizontal reach. The YG-40 pumps up to 260 meters horizontally. The repair site was only 150 meters from the roadside. No problem.
Pipe system. The pump uses steel pipes and hoses. The crew laid a 150m pipe from the roadside down to the work area under the bridge. Concrete traveled through the pipe smoothly.
Roadside setup. The pump sat on a trailer. It was towed to the roadside above the bridge. No need to bring heavy equipment under the bridge.
Diesel power. No power lines needed at the remote bridge site. The diesel engine ran all day without stopping.
Steady pressure. The hydraulic system maintained consistent flow. No clogging. No surges.
Fewer workers. One operator ran the pump. Two workers handled the hose under the bridge. Manual methods would need many more workers.
The crew ordered the YG-40 long distance diesel concrete pump.
YG-40 Diesel Concrete Pump for Bridge Repair
Here is what the Saudi crew used:
| Specification | YG-40 Diesel |
| Engine | Diesel (option) |
| Max throughput | 20-22 m³/h |
| Vertical distance | 120m |
| Horizontal distance | 260m |
| Pipe diameter | 80-100mm |
| Weight | 2400kg |
The trailer mounted concrete pump was towed to the roadside. The crew laid 150m of pipe from the pump down to the work area under the bridge. Mixer trucks fed concrete into the hopper. The diesel concrete pump pushed material through the pipe. Workers under the bridge directed the hose and placed the concrete exactly where needed.
The diesel engine ran all day. No power lines needed. No extension cords. The pump worked continuously through the heat.
Results: Three Weeks of Work Done in One
Time saved. Manual methods would have taken three weeks. The pump finished the repair in one week. That is 66% faster.
Access solved. The pump reached where trucks could not go. The 150m pipe delivered concrete exactly to the work area.
Labor saved. The crew needed only three people. One on the pump. Two under the bridge.
Quality improved. Consistent concrete flow meant even placement. No cold joints. No weak spots.
Remote operation. Diesel power meant no need for grid electricity. The pump worked anywhere.
The mini concrete pump price was quickly recovered through time and labor savings.
Customer Feedback from Saudi Arabia
The site supervisor said:
“The pump reached where trucks could not go. We will use this for every bridge job.”
He confirmed the pump saved them two weeks of work. The crew now uses the long distance concrete pump on all their bridge maintenance projects.
