Concrete Placing Boom Type
A concrete placing boom, also called a concrete spider placing boom, is a specialized piece of construction equipment designed for the precise placement of concrete. Its defining feature is a multi-articulated, remote-controlled arm that provides exceptional flexibility and reach, allowing it to navigate complex obstacles and deliver concrete to otherwise inaccessible locations on a site. Shanghe has many types of spider placing booms: hydraulic concrete placing boom, crawler concrete placing boom, self-climbing concrete placing boom, mobile concrete placing boom, etc.
We provide different concrete placing boom solutions for various construction environments. Compare the following types to identify the equipment that best fits your project.
Hydraulic Concrete Placing Boom
Hydraulic concrete placing booms use a hydraulic system to control boom movements and position the concrete delivery end. They are suitable for construction projects requiring controlled concrete distribution over a defined working area.
Key Features
- Hydraulic operation for controlled boom movement
- Flexible positioning within the specified working radius
- Suitable for repetitive concrete placement operations
- Available in different configurations according to project requirements
Typical Applications
High-rise building construction, commercial buildings, residential projects, and concrete structures with extensive placement requirements.
Best for: Contractors seeking controlled boom positioning and efficient concrete distribution.
Crawler Concrete Placing Boom
A crawler concrete placing boom is designed for applications where tracked mobility is beneficial. Depending on the model, its crawler undercarriage can help the equipment move around suitable construction sites without relying on conventional wheeled transportation.
Key Features
- Tracked undercarriage for suitable jobsite conditions
- Convenient repositioning between working areas
- Designed for construction sites with changing placement locations
- Configuration options depend on terrain, boom reach, and site access
Typical Applications
Large construction sites, infrastructure projects, industrial construction, and projects requiring equipment repositioning.
Best for: Contractors who need a concrete placing solution with on-site mobility.
Self-Climbing Concrete Placing Boom
A self-climbing concrete placing boom is designed for projects where the placing equipment needs to move upward as construction progresses. Depending on the design, a climbing frame or dedicated climbing system supports the installation and relocation process.
Key Features
- Designed for multi-story and high-rise construction
- Supports staged relocation as the building rises
- Helps distribute concrete across designated floor areas
- Requires project-specific planning for installation and climbing operations
Typical Applications
High-rise residential buildings, office towers, large concrete structures, and other vertical construction projects.
Best for: Contractors working on high-rise projects that require concrete placement at increasing elevations.
Mobile Concrete Placing Boom
A mobile concrete placing boom is designed to be moved between working positions or locations, depending on its chassis and configuration. Mobility can help contractors adapt to changing site layouts and multiple concrete placement areas.
Key Features
- Designed for repositioning between suitable work areas
- Flexible deployment according to the equipment configuration
- Suitable for projects requiring changing placement positions
- Mobility and transportation requirements vary by model
Typical Applications
Commercial construction, industrial facilities, multi-area construction sites, and projects where repositioning is important.
Best for: Contractors who need a placing boom that can be relocated to serve different work areas.
Concrete Placing Boom Price
The price of a concrete placing boom depends on its type, working radius, boom structure, installation method, and configuration.

How to Choose the Right Concrete Placing Boom
Choosing the right equipment can help improve concrete placement efficiency and avoid unnecessary investment.
1. Working Radius
Determine the maximum horizontal distance from the boom’s mounting position to the required concrete placement points. The boom must cover the necessary working area while remaining within its rated operating limits.
2. Building Height
For high-rise projects, consider the required placement elevation and whether the equipment needs a climbing system. Self-climbing models may be appropriate when the installation must move upward as construction progresses.
3. Construction Site Conditions
Consider available installation space, ground conditions, access routes, floor loading limits, and the space required for concrete pumping equipment.
Concrete Pump Compatibility
The placing boom must be compatible with the concrete delivery system, including the pipeline arrangement, required flow, working pressure, and relevant connection specifications.
5. Installation and Maintenance
Review installation requirements, relocation procedures, spare parts availability, operator training, and after-sales technical support before making a purchase.
6. Total Project Cost
Do not compare equipment prices alone. Consider transportation, installation, accessories, maintenance, and operating requirements when evaluating the overall investment.
Application

FAQ
1. What is the price of a concrete placing boom?
The price depends on the boom type, working radius, installation system, configuration, and delivery destination. Send us your project requirements to receive a quotation for a suitable model.
2. Which type of concrete placing boom is best for high-rise buildings?
A self-climbing concrete placing boom may be suitable for high-rise projects where the equipment needs to move upward as construction progresses. The final selection depends on building height, structural conditions, installation arrangements, and the required working radius.
3. What is the difference between a hydraulic and a manual concrete placing boom?
A hydraulic concrete placing boom uses hydraulic power to control boom movements. A manual concrete placing boom relies on manual positioning. The appropriate choice depends on the required reach, operating method, construction conditions, and available budget.
4. Is a crawler concrete placing boom suitable for uneven ground?
A crawler configuration may improve mobility on suitable construction terrain, but its suitability depends on ground bearing capacity, slope limits, machine weight, and the manufacturer’s operating requirements. Site conditions should be assessed before use.
