How much does a concrete line pump cost in Toronto?

How far can a line pump push concrete?

Standard runs are up to 300 feet (about 90 metres) of 4-inch steel and rubber line, which covers almost any house in the GTA. Longer runs can be arranged with advance notice. Our HAMAC DHBT40 pump delivers up to 40 m³ per hour. Pump power and output.

What concrete should I order for a line pump?

A pump mix with pea gravel (3/8″ stone) at the strength your project requires. Tell the ready-mix plant it’s going through a line pump. More on preparing for pump day.

How much notice do you need?

Call or text as early as possible – ideally when you book the concrete. We work 24/7, and same-day emergency service is available for an additional fee.

Do you supply the concrete?

You order the concrete from your ready-mix supplier. We’ll tell you exactly what mix and how much to order, and coordinate the timing.

Can you pump into a basement through a window?

Yes. This is one of the most common jobs we do. Basement concrete pumping.

Will the pump damage my lawn or driveway?

No. The pump stays on the driveway or street and the line is laid on protection. That’s the main reason homeowners choose a line pump.

Do you work in winter?

Yes, as long as the concrete supplier and your site are ready for cold-weather pouring. The Cummins diesel engine that drives our pump starts reliably in the cold.
