Pumping

Concrete pump hire in Sydney

Not every pour needs a pump. But when the truck can't reach the slab, a pump saves hours of wheelbarrow work.

Direct pour

Included

Truck reverses to the pour site. Works when there's clear access within 3 m of the slab or formwork.

Line pump

$170–250/hr

Pumps concrete up to 100 m through a ground-level hose. Typical residential pour: 3–4 hours ($500–1,000). Best for slabs, driveways, and footings.

Boom pump

$250–400/hr

Extends an articulated arm over obstacles — fences, buildings, slopes. Typical job: 3–4 hours ($750–1,600). Essential for rear-yard pours and upper-storey work.

Pump hire is arranged separately. MixHub can coordinate a pump with your concrete delivery — select "needs pump" when you order.

What if my site has restricted truck access?
Let us know about access constraints when you order. Smaller agitator trucks are available for tight streets and laneways. For rear-yard pours, you can add a concrete line pump or boom pump to your booking.
What happens if it rains on my delivery day?
You can reschedule your delivery free of charge with at least 2 hours notice. If rain starts during the pour, your plant operator can advise on whether to continue based on the concrete grade and application.
Are there extra charges for small concrete orders?
Yes, most Sydney plants apply a short-load fee for orders under 4 m³ (typically $50–200, scaling with how far under the minimum you are). After-hours and weekend surcharges may also apply. All costs are shown upfront in your quote before you confirm.
How does pricing vary across Sydney suburbs?
Pricing depends on your distance from the nearest batching plant, the grade of concrete, and the delivery window. Western Sydney suburbs near major plants often get the best rates. Enter your postcode to see real prices.
