Learn More About the 62–63 m Boom Pump Class
The TP63RZ6 sits at the top of the TP range, and a 62–63 m concrete boom pump behaves differently from the smaller models in ways worth understanding before you specify one.
Why six boom sections
Reaching 62.5 m vertically while still folding down to a road-legal transport length is what drives the 6-section RZ roll-fold boom. More sections let a long boom collapse into a compact stack for travel — 13.73 m long, 4.0 m high folded — then open into a wide working envelope on site. Fewer-section booms reach less for the same folded size; more sections add reach but also weight and unfold time. Six is the balance the 63 m class settles on.
Why an 8×4 chassis.
A 62.5 m boom and its pedestal put a large mass high up and far out, so the platform must carry both the 44-tonne total weight and the overturning moment when the boom is slewed out at full horizontal reach. That is why this 63 m pump truck rides on a Sitrak 8×4: four axles spread the load within road limits, and the wider chassis anchors a bigger outrigger footprint. The front outriggers use an X-type spread and the rears telescope out, so the truck still sets up in tighter access than its reach suggests — but outrigger spread and ground bearing, not the boom alone, set the safe working envelope on the day.
Reach is measured two ways
Vertical reach (62.5 m) is the height to the end hose with the boom near-vertical; horizontal reach (58.5 m) is measured from the slewing centre with the boom laid out. The two cannot be had at once — the further the truck stands back from a tall pour, the less height is left. Read the working-range diagram against the set-up distance you actually have, and pick reach that clears your tallest pour with margin rather than exactly.
Reach paired with output
A long boom is only useful if it can be kept fed, which is why the largest model also carries the highest output — 180 m³/h at low gear, 12 MPa, an S-valve and 260 × 1900 mm twin cylinders through a DN125 line. That combination lets a single set-up supply a large continuous pour and handle demanding, low-slump, high-strength and fibre-reinforced mixes, not only standard concrete.
63 m, or step down to 56 m / 49 m
Specify the TP63RZ6 when reach is the constraint — high-rise towers of roughly 18–20 storeys placed directly, and large bridge decks or deep foundations the truck must stand back from. If the job never needs that height or footprint, the TP56RZ6 or TP49RZ6 do the same pumping work on a smaller platform. Above what any boom can reach, the boom pump hands off to a stationary pump feeding a placing boom up the core.
One-operator control
As a remote control concrete pump, the TP63RZ6 runs on a PLC/CAN-BUS system with both wireless and cable remote, so one operator positions the boom from the pour point; automatic centralised lubrication and the high-pressure washdown keep daily maintenance short.
