Schwing FBP27 truck-mixer pump

Schwing Stetter has revised the boom geometry of the FBP 27 truck-mixer concrete pump to expand the working area on construction sites. The adaptations to the boom package allow concreting to be carried out right up the driver’s cab when the boom is in the appropriate position.

The company says this process is enabled due to the extension of the first boom element and the opening angle of the last boom element to an angle of 278°.

The boom in RZ-fold uses only straight boom arms without offsets. The Light Line truck-mixer superstructure allow extra weight to be compensated by the extended boom element 1. In addition, the FBP 27 is expected to transport at least 4.5 m³ of fresh concrete with a permissible total weight of 32 tonnes.

The FBP outrigger comes with a low space requirement to offer installation flexibility and allow a safer erection even on cramped jobsites. The support pads can be waived in many cases when supporting by using the large rear outriggers while the short rear protusion of the FBP is intended to make manoeuvring at the installation site easier.

For cleaning of the mixing drum, all operating elements have been ergonomically combined on two central operating units to help provide greater convenience and short set-up times.
