Boom pump reach matters most when you’re working on a site where concrete needs to go beyond the usual delivery point. Whether you’re pouring on an upper floor or over a long distance, the reach of the pump can affect how the whole job runs.
Technic Concrete Pumping runs a fleet of boom pumps with reach sizes ranging from 20 metres to 53 metres. With over 40 years of industry experience across the entire North West, this kind of coverage offers flexibility across different sites, from smaller builds to multi story projects. Your chosen pump can make a big difference to how easily concrete gets placed and how much time the pour itself takes.
This blog will look at how boom pump reach affects the way work is done on a site, what each pump in the fleet can offer and how to match the right pump to the right job.
What Is A Boom Pump?
A boom pump is a concrete pump vehicle fitted with a long, remote controlled arm. This arm is often referred to as the ‘boom’ and allows concrete to be placed at height, across obstacles or sections of a site where many methods cannot usually reach. The boom can be positioned with precision, so the pump stays in one place while the concrete is poured exactly where it’s needed.
On construction sites where time and access are important, boom pumps are often the most efficient choice. They can handle high volumes and reduce the need for manual handling. This makes them ideal for house builds and upper floors that would usually take much longer using older methods.
How Far Can Each Boom Pump Reach?
At Technic Concrete Pumping, we offer a vast range of boom pump sizes, with our boom pump reach stretching from 20 to 53 metres, depending on the model. Each boom pump is designed for a different type of site. This depends on access, height and the volume of concrete required.
- 20 metre boom pumps are the smallest in the fleet.
They are ideal for smaller residential sites and work well when access is limited.
- 24 to 31 metre boom pumps are flexible and offer extra movement.
They are often used on roadworks and bridge repairs. They are also frequently used in places where the ‘boom’ needs to reach around or under structures without moving the pump.
- 35 metre boom pumps are mounted on a six-wheel base truck.
This size is often used on housing developments and schools and offers great manoeuvrability.
- 42 metre boom pumps are built for taller, residential buildings.
They can place concrete over long distances.
- 47 metre boom pumps offer extended reach for larger projects.
They are often used on busier sites where both volume and height are major factors.
- 53 metre boom pumps provide the longest reach in the fleet.
They are perfect for large job sites, such as residential and industrial buildings.
Each pump is built to suit a different type of site, so understanding the reach of each model can help you plan more effectively.

Planning For The Right Boom Pump Reach
Choosing the right boom pump reach starts with a clear understanding of your site layout and the exact location of your pour. Factors such as distance from delivery, height and obstructions all influence which pump is best suited for your project.
Accurate planning helps avoid repositioning and ensures the concrete is placed efficiently. Our team can advise on the best option based on your site requirements, making sure the pump is capable of reaching all necessary areas with minimal disruption.
