PRODUCTION BEGINS ON WORLD’S LARGEST BOOM PUMP

Further expanding the reach and capabilities of its broad line of truck-mounted concrete boom pumps, Putzmeister America, Inc. will launch its innovative 70Z-Meter truck-mounted concrete boom pump in mid 2008. Continuing in the Putzmeister tradition, and as seen at the ConExpo-CON/AGG 2005 release of the BSF 63Z-Meter, the company will again take the industry by storm with the 70Z-Meter.

“We’re taking concrete placement to the extreme in 2008,” says Putzmeister America President and CEO, Dave Adams. “The new 70Z-Meter offers over 227 feet of vertical reach and nearly 213 feet of horizontal reach. It will not only be the largest truck-mounted boom pump in the market, it will feature technologies and support only available from Putzmeister.”

Standard on all models 52-meters and up, including the 70ZMeter, Putzmeister’s exclusive Ergonic® technology allows the operator to set parameters that control the boom, the pump and many other operational functions. The Ergonic Pump Control System (EPS) is just one of several modules in the Ergonic system. Ergonic Tele Service (ETS), offering realtime remote diagnosis of the unit operation in the field, and Ergonic Boom Control (EBC) with OneTouch™ are other exclusive technological features.
