Drill an tap hole in the underside of the outer sleeve for a grease zerk. Back towards where it contacts the frame. Couple of pumps of grease every week. You need to get the grease back further than the edge. The sharp edge cleans the grease off.
One thing I’ve realized the past 4 years pumping, (and you tend to feature a lot) is that pump companies in the area you live are super friendly towards one another. Always willing to lend a hand if needed or a call for tips/ advice. Lots of these guys are friends. I love how it’s not like other jobs where everyone is viewed as a threat. Yes, competition is needed. We know we can’t do it all. But at the end of the day it’s really a brotherhood.
Especially these days when most all of us pump companies are fighting the same battle, which is finding people to run the equipment. It’s so true though, I’ve literally been on my drive home and detoured to help a fellow pumper in distress (and have had the same reciprocated to me). It’s easy to get along in this industry as I think we can most all relate in terms of dealing with the same challenges on the day to day. Great comment! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
FINALLY! a proper good pump on the channel ;) Very nice pump, pity it doesnt have the chamber valve on it, i know some guys arent big on them but i swear by ours, reason enough for me to stick with Schwing. Either one of these or a 24 will be next in line for us, once we get the couple we're paying off the books! 31xt would be the dream, but theyre getting a bit $$$ for what we do, but you never know! out Schwing 38-5 roll fold baby is an absolute weapon, definitely a great size for all round work. If that pump has a roller pump for the water hose it can very definitely do better, either the releif valve has been turned down or it needs a roller kit put through it, not expensive or difficult to do, they can hammer out the water.
I figured the water pressure seemed quite low. I’m wondering if perhaps the previous owner may have dialled it down as such to not drain the small-ish holding tank any quicker than necessary? 🤔🤔🤔
Have you ever tried a ball valve reduced to an male air line coupler on the water hose. It really increases the pressure. I think it does a better job than a normal trigger. I also just switch to banjo “ag”style quick couplers on the hose to truck connection for an extremely easy/leak free connection for us that have to keep our hoses warm in the winter.
This is fantastic advice! On our Putz rigs we typically don’t have any issues with water pressure. It would however be nice to have a ball valve as such that I could dial the volume/pressure down for when mixing my bentonite. Currently I just kink the hose over partially to restrict the flow, but it definitely doesn’t do the hose and favours in terms of longevity.
For the front outrigger loud noise issue, when the outrigger is out and has a load on it, just get a can of white lithium spray grease with the long nozzle and spray in the gap where it travels in and out and between where the outrigger meets the chassis. Usually good for a month of work then just repeat.
Fun lookin machine. I think its important to keep in mind when you go to buy and select a pump for the work in the area you consider whom you're working with too. The small hopper may be nice for washup but id imagine drivers having neglectful tendencies will often get you pumping air down the line. Seasoned workers usually wont have a problem though. Thats from hopper to where the concrete is dropping.
It’s a interesting one. I’m not certain so much if it’s that the hopper is actually that much smaller, or just that the rock-valve sits in a tight little pocket at the bottom of the hopper and is perhaps more efficient in terms of pumping the machine empty.
31 meter Schwing. We actually had one on order a couple of years ago but had to back out in the final hours. Definitely still on the wish-list though. Legendary machines those 31XT Schwing's are!!!
When sucking a second ball with the schwing can you hear the second one sliding through the pipe system as well until the end where it makes the ocean sound or how do you know it is back
He used two sponges of different colours. When the back end is busted open, you make sure the second colour pulled back is sitting in the elbow. Your right though, there’s really no way of telling prior to opening up the back end, aside from listening at the tip elbow.
I work on schwing 34 and it's amazingly strong!... especially when concrete is soft.. in 3 minutes exactly I finish the 9 cubic😊 It's a monster machine and easy to clean ❤❤❤❤
I love swings the 28 meter is the same as the 31 HT my favorite pump with a telescopic. the hoppers are tiny you don't get build up in them throughout the day the walls are steeper so the concrete doesn't stick to it. no shoving mud underneath the s valve like you do on your pump. the bad news is logistically you run putzmeister they don't share the same parts so you will have to buy extra parts what don't go on the rest of your trucks.
Nice pump except the pull out outriggers. Looks like the hydraulic lines between a and b is stuck on a clamp. Not mutch concrete left in the tub. On the new putz 42 we have it's envirement friendly hydralic oil (Cost some grands $ for a barrel)and you can connect it to 3 phase power on constrction sites. Keep up the good work
Yes, that “eco-friendly” hydraulic pit costs a pretty penny indeed. Agreed, the pullout rear outriggers seem a little archaic, aside from that, LOTS to love about this machine.
Just remember thats the M rock hopper the B rock schwing hopper is probably about the same as the over glorified putz 38-5 😂😂😂 sorry scott I'm just a bit biased to the schwing 31 XT
Lol!!! I love the friendly banter! True story: we were sooooo close to taking delivery of a brand new 31XT Schwing…. long story as to why we didn’t (nothing to do with the pump or brand).
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 I got to that part of the vid shortly after leaving the comment haha maybe spray on grease to make application simple. I’ve never actually used any so I don’t know that it would be any easier.
Im shocked the guy in the video is running three different brands of pumps. Would you actually purchase a Schwing pump though? Having to deal with a new supply of inventory etc just seems like a pain. As good as some of the Putz are, our entire fleet of line pumps & booms are Schwing. I couldnt imagine purchasing another brand and having to deal with a whole new inventory.
This is so true. I’m a believer in the Southwest Airlines model (all Boeing 737 and nuth’N but). I will say though, we’re blessed in our area to have major parts suppliers as well as service capabilities for most all major brands (we have 3 major manufacturers within 20 miles of one another).
its bettter to put ball+water+ball closer in sequence. they move as a "kit" and the 1st ball stops the water from going to fast and makes the pipes cleaner. i always put in the ball, stop the pump, then water+ball and sent them as a packet.
It’s a ton of foreign money for sure. Lots of baby-boomer generational wealth being passed down as well, which could arguably attributed to the amount of foreign money pumping up real estate equity.
In my opinion, if a concrete pump is only German Putzmeister, Schwing and Liebherr. I didn't work with Schwing but Putz is a class by itself and I was lucky to work with Libherr 42 XXT for a year and a half and it's also a great piece of equipment. Now, unfortunately for me, I work with a 3-year-old pump of Italian production and it is a torment.
Like the outriggers on 42 xxt. You can put them forward towards the cabin so you don't even need 4 meters width and go full boom forward with between them.
@@canadianconcretepumper1979 What's the problem the pumps are from Germany and are coming to America, why can't you order another truck with them? There's also Scania and Volvo and others. By the way, Liebherr's concrete pumps have not been on the market for that long. They were taken over a good 10 years ago (2012) by a small family business, Waitzinger, which only started in 1991. If a concrete pump is ordered from Liebherr with a Mack truck, the truck has to come to Germany and return complete after assembly. Unfortunately, Schwing and Putzmeister were each sold to China, and I don't know if that's really such a good idea. 😉
Between that and modern emissions systems which can decide to shut the truck down at a moments notice, it certainly does make pumping hot mixes a riskier proposition than ever before.

Where can you buy a plastic tub to dump into ? when doing residential jobs.
These Perrin washout pans are my favourite: www.concretepumpingaccessories.com/product-page/perrin-pan
Try dirt bike chain lube on the outriggers. Make sure it’s the off road lube so it doesn’t attract dirt
Great tip. Will definitely be giving this a try in the future 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That wheelbase definitely seem shorter than other trucks in that pump size category....

I would use dry graphite spray. That what we use in the states on car hauler trucks....
So that’s what we used to use and I found that for this particular application it just didn’t work as well as old-school grease.

Grease may work good. But down fall is the nature of grease it attracts all the dirt,dust and debris to stick to it....
I don't understand why only these Mack trucks (the cabs look so old) a Mercedes or MAN is a better fit for a Liebherr, Schwing or Putzmeister.
You guys in the European market definitely get some more interesting options in terms of trucks as compared to our North American market.

Alliances new 32-5 has about the same outrigger foot print.
Yes sir. Something like 20’ in the front any 13’ in the rear. That tight tear spread is super handy for working here in the city.
I'm running a 2019 58 meter schwing . Th amount of sensors is ridiculous. It will stop pumping for whatever reason. Lol 😆
Between that and modern emissions systems which can decide to shut the truck down at a moments notice, it certainly does make pumping hot mixes a riskier proposition than ever before.
