Placing Booms Technologies: Optimal design for you

Putzmeister booms are designed according to the main application requirements in the respective boom classes.

Not only are 4-arm booms generally sufficient in the small boom classes, but are also beneficial as they are lighter, and the truck can therefore carry a higher load in accessories. They are also easier to operate. With 4-arm booms the Z-fold and the roll Z-fold demonstrate the advantage of their great flexibility (excellent access to tight spaces, virtually no dead zones).

5- and 6-arm booms are particularly suited to where more flexibility is required. The application area of the machine increases considerably, e.g. when concreting top floors, or between the floors of buildings.

The roll Z-fold is particularly suitable here, as it is designed for 5-arm booms, but also has the advantages of the Z-fold.

 

Benefits at a glance

  • Choice between different reaches and booms with 4, 5 or 6 arms in Z fold system, roll-Z fold system or Z-roll fold system for greater flexibility and versatility in all applications
  • No dead space on either folding type
  • Distributor booms manufactured from low-wear, low-maintenance components
  • Good accessibility to all components
  • Boom control with direct response characteristics
  • Minimal boom vibrations ensure comfortable handling
  • EBC (Ergonic® Boom Control) for damping vibrations, restricting the working area and one-handed control

iSA (intelligent Support Assistant) - Our most supportive system ever

Putzmeister is revolutionizing concrete pump set-up assistance with the new iSA (intelligent Setup Assistant). The successor to the proven OSS system offers a significant improvement to machine reach and flexibility, is equipped with an unprecedented reach simulation feature, and is kept simple by allowing the operator to turn iSA on and off with a single switch.


 

 

Our most supportive system ever – iSA (intelligent Setup Assistance)

The iSA control system is the evolutionary software and user interface experience. The successor of OSS, iSA provides a detailed overview of how far the boom can reach. The operator simply sets up the machine according to the conditions of the jobsite — iSA calculates the possible working range live on the EGD or radio remote control.

Increased limits thanks to FLEX base structure

The support provided for Putzmeister concrete pumps has become more and more flexible over the past years. For the swinging support legs, it is already fully flexible and offers a variety of intermediate positions for the forward support legs. The combination of iSA and the substantially optimised steel geometry now enables a level of flexibility not seen before. With the new  Putzmeister FLEX base structures*, supporting and setting up the machines is no easier and more flexible than ever before – and therefore incredibly straightforward for machine operators.
