The
32 and 28 meter booms gain added versatility with the
optional quick disconnect feature. Contractors use the
truck-mounted pump with placing boom in its conventional
mode for part of a day on slab pours or other ground
level placements and quickly remove the boom (with the
aid of a tower crane) for remote placements later in
the day. The quick coupling incorporates four pins which
are easily removed to free the boom from the truck.
The boom is remounted to a Schwing pedestal using the
four pin system. The pedestal can be located hundreds
of feet from the pump and connected with a pipeline.
