How This Calculator Works
This tool estimates fuel or energy consumption, cost, and CO₂ emissions for different concrete pump models based on operating hours and fuel type.
Fuel Calculation Formula:
Fuel/Energy Used = Operating Hours × Consumption Rate (liters or kWh per hour)
CO₂ Emissions = Fuel/Energy Used × Emission Factor
Emission Factors:
- Diesel: 2.68 kg CO₂/liter
- Electric: 0 kg CO₂/kWh (assuming renewable electricity)
About Concrete Pumps
Concrete pumps are essential machines used to transport liquid concrete efficiently on construction sites. They are commonly used for large-scale projects like high-rise buildings, bridges, and industrial structures.
- Trailer Concrete Pump 100 HP: Suitable for small and medium projects with limited site access.
- Truck-Mounted Concrete Pump 150 HP: Ideal for medium to large-scale construction projects.
- Large Boom Concrete Pump 250 HP: Used in high-rise construction for pumping concrete to great heights.
- Electric Concrete Pump: Eco-friendly, quiet operation suitable for urban and indoor projects.
Fuel-Saving Tips:
- Plan pumping routes efficiently to minimize idle running.
- Regularly maintain hydraulic and engine systems for optimal efficiency.
- Use the correct pump size for the project.
- Switch to electric pumps when working in urban areas to reduce emissions.
