Customer Background – Small Concrete Pump For Limited Job Sites

The client is a local contractor in a coastal city in Portugal. Their main projects include small residential buildings and municipal road construction. These projects are not large, but they require stable and continuous concrete delivery.

Main site limitations:

• Construction space is very limited, especially in residential areas
• Some roads are narrow, making it difficult for large machines to enter
• Concrete needs to be delivered evenly and continuously

Key requirement:

The client needed a small concrete pump that could:

• Be transported easily
• Work in tight spaces
• Deliver concrete steadily without interruption

Customer Selection Process – Screw Concrete Pump Vs Traditional Options

Before making a decision, the client compared different types of equipment, including traditional piston pumps and compact pumps.

Their main concerns:

• Whether the machine size matches the site conditions
• Whether the output is stable for small projects
• Ease of operation and maintenance

At the beginning, the client did not choose YG directly. They contacted several suppliers and collected different solutions.

We provided:

• Detailed technical data
• Working principle explanation of the Spiral Concrete Pump
• Simulation of actual working conditions

Through this process, the client understood that a screw concrete pump (spiral type) is more suitable for their project than a large piston pump.

Recommended Machine – Spiral Concrete Pump

After evaluation, the client selected a Spiral Concrete Pump, which is also a type of compact concrete trailer pump.

Key technical specifications:

• Motor power: 4.5kW / 5.5kW / 7.5kW
• Conveying capacity: 4–5 m³/h
• Horizontal conveying distance: 15 m
• Vertical conveying distance: 10 m
• Particle size: ≤ 2 cm
• Machine weight: 140 kg
• Voltage: 380V
• Dimensions: 85 × 55 × 65 cm

Why this machine matched the project:

• Compact size (85×55×65 cm)
  Easy to move and transport through narrow roads
• Lightweight (140 kg)
  Can be handled on small job sites without heavy lifting equipment
• Stable output (4–5 m³/h)
  Enough for small residential construction without waste
• Continuous spiral conveying system
  Ensures smooth and steady concrete flow
• Electric drive (380V)
  Suitable for local power supply in Portugal

This configuration allowed the client to balance efficiency and flexibility.

Delivery Process – Concrete Pump Export To Portugal

This project followed a standard concrete pump export process, but with special attention to equipment protection.

Delivery steps:

• Machine packed and shipped by sea to Portugal
• Reinforced protection for spiral pipe and internal components
• Arrival at port and transportation to the job site

Important detail:

Because the machine uses a spiral system, extra care was taken to protect internal parts during transport. This reduced the risk of damage and ensured a smooth startup.

Customer Feedback – Mini Concrete Pump Performance In Real Use

After using the machine on-site, the client shared detailed feedback.

Performance highlights:

• The mini concrete pump size fits perfectly in small construction areas
• Continuous pumping is stable, without sudden stops
• Output of 4–5 m³/h matches project needs
• Work efficiency improved by about 15%

Operational advantages:

• Easy to operate after short training
• No complex setup required
• Maintenance is simple

Challenges mentioned:

• Workers needed time to understand the spiral pumping system
• During transport, the pipeline needed careful protection

Overall, the client confirmed that the machine is reliable for small-scale projects.

Small Concrete Pump Selection Guide

This case is useful for other buyers, especially in Europe or similar markets.

What can be learned:

• For small construction sites, a compact machine is more practical than a large pump
• A Spiral Concrete Pump is suitable when:
  • Space is limited
  • Continuous flow is required
  • Output demand is moderate
• Technical parameters matter more than brand name

Key decision points:

• Check conveying distance (15m horizontal / 10m vertical fits small sites)
• Confirm particle size (≤2 cm for stable pumping)
• Choose correct power (5.5kW or 7.5kW for better performance)

This case shows that choosing the right equipment is not about size, but about matching real working conditions.
