The new Putzmeister M67-5 boom pump pumps 500 m³ of floor slab

Once it is ready for series production, the new M67-5 truck-mounted concrete pump will be the largest truck-mounted concrete pump in Putzmeister's product range. Even after the official presentation, there is still a lot to do before a product is ready for series production. This report aims to shed some light on the matter.

Putzmeister presented the M67-5 in April 2025 at bauma, the world's largest construction machinery trade fair in Munich. The machine was very well received, with many purchase contracts already signed at the trade fair.

However, the work continues after the presentation. long-term tests and functional tests were carried out, the design was optimised for series production, and the software for controlling the distribution boom (intelligent Boom Control iBC) and the support (intelligent Setup Control iSC) was programmed and optimised. In addition, the truck chassis that can be used in the markets where the M67-5 is to be sold are being tested together with the substructure. Of course, the necessary production documents must also be created for new machines. And the machine must be tested in real-life construction site use.

 
Concrete pouring for the floor slab began early in the morning.

A large concrete slab was recently poured in Tübingen, requiring 500 m³ of concrete to be pumped in a short period of time. This is a typical construction site for large boom pumps. In addition, the construction site was quite confined, so the intelligent Setup Control (iSC) narrow support system could be tested, as access to the industrial area could not be blocked.

 
Thanks to iSC, the machine could be supported on a very narrow base and access to the industrial area remained unobstructed. In order to supply the
M 67-5 with a total of 500 m³ of concrete, two truck mixers were often at the pump at the same time.
 

Work began at 6 a.m., and the concrete supply was optimal, with several truck mixers usually standing by and able to pour the concrete into the hopper in parallel. With an average delivery rate of 100 m³ per hour, the M67-5 proved that it works.

 
The distributor boom's horizontal reach of over 60 m was necessary to reach all areas of the 12 m deep excavation pit.
