The biggest boom pump in Europe has arrived in the UK...Unveiling the new Schwing S 65 SXF!
The first of these incredible machines has become the property of London Concrete Pumping. It's first job was on the new Wembley Park development and I was fortunate enough to be offered a chance to visit the site and take some pictures from a cage suspended from a crane. As you can see they came out rather well!
The best ones were taken with my 10mm wide angle lens which allowed me to get a good portion of Wembley Stadium in the background too (which does give a good comparison of size)!
With a vertical reach of just under 65 metres you can see this beast of a machine easily reaches to pour the slab at the back of the 11th floor. It shouldn't have too much trouble with 12 or 13 either.
This is only the seventh S 65 SXF so far produced in the world and is the actual machine featured being built in the promotional video below.
And one more picture...
