Blastcrete Equipment has introduced the X-40D trailer-mounted concrete pump system. This compact pump provides high-volume pumping in a compact design for a variety of applications and rounds out the Blastcrete product line with a low-maintenance, versatile pump capable of handling a range of rock sizes.
Versatility
Capable of handling aggregate mixes up to 1.5 in., the X-40D provides a versatile pump solution that contractors can use for an array of projects ranging from residential concrete jobs to highway infrastructure improvements.
“This unit is the culmination of an industry-oriented engineering process and supply partnership focused on increasing versatility and decreasing maintenance. Additionally, because we spent time talking with contractors in the field, we saw the importance of features like remote-control operation,” said Scott Knighton, co-CEO of Blastcrete Equipment LLC, “Although touchscreens have become common with this equipment, our design eliminates them because customer feedback indicated they are difficult to operate when wearing gloves wet with concrete. This intentional focus on the needs of the customers in our design makes the X-40D a product we are proud of and excited to bring to the industry.”

The X-40D incorporates a PULSAR piston pump from Mecbo to deliver high volume in a compact design. The PULSAR pump incorporates a long stroke to push a great volume of concrete with less mechanical movement, thereby reducing maintenance and providing for a smooth pour.
The 6-in. x 39-in. (150 mm x 1,000 mm) swing tube piston pump is supported by a rugged receiving agitator to keep the concrete mixed and ready for pumping. The X-40D pump features 1,000 psi of piston face pressure, with a 5-in. discharge and the ability to put out 40 cu. yd. of concrete per hour.
“The durability of the product stands as a testament to Blastcrete’s unwavering commitment to producing equipment that is reliable, made in America, and easy to use,” said Knighton.
Mobility
The 7,080-lb. pump and integrated trailer can be hauled to jobs that range from creating piers for overpasses to backyard projects such as installing in-ground swimming pools.
The pump’s four crane lifting eyes also facilitate transportation, allowing operators to position the machine where they need it. Forklift tubing is mounted to the lower hopper for flat pack removal.

Cementing in the Field
Blastcrete considered customers and the environments in which they work with the design of this machine. It features a wireless remote control to provide operators with the ability to control the pump’s functions from a distance. The durable, solid-state electronic components function in a variety of weather conditions.
Factory options that can be added include the Auto Lubrication System and the 12 VDC Screen Vibrator. Power options include the 72-hp Yanmar 4TNV98CT-NKW diesel, a 74-hp Deutz TD2.9 diesel or a 75-hp electric motor. Both diesel engines are water cooled with no diesel exhaust fluid.
