What is a Concrete Pourer?
The Concrete Pourer, also known as the Concrete Skip, is a highly practical digger attachment that’s designed to streamline the concrete pouring process. This attachment is equipped with two specialised spouts that provide directional control, making it versatile for a range of tasks. The first spout is positioned at the front of the attachment, facing away from the machine, which is ideal for directing concrete into formwork or shuttering from a distance. This front-facing spout allows operators to pour concrete with precision, making it easier to handle complex pours and reducing the chance of spillage.
The second spout is positioned at the rear, facing toward the machine. This orientation gives the operator a clear line of sight to the pour, which is particularly beneficial for delicate or detailed work that requires extra control. By providing the operator with a close view of the pouring area, the rear-facing spout supports more accurate placement, ensuring that concrete is distributed exactly where it’s needed.
Why use a Concrete Pourer?
As its name implies, the Concrete Pourer is specifically designed to simplify and improve the process of pouring concrete. Its dual-spout design allows operators to control the direction of the pour more effectively, enabling even distribution and preventing overflows or gaps. With the option to pour in either direction, operators can spread concrete evenly without needing additional workers in close proximity to the pour site, which enhances safety. This also means that projects can be completed faster, as fewer adjustments are needed after each pour.
The unique, controlled design of the Concrete Pourer helps to eliminate the need for additional labour to smooth or correct the concrete after pouring. By allowing for precise placement in both forward and rear directions, this attachment reduces waste, optimises accuracy, and saves time, making it an essential tool for efficient concrete handling on construction sites.
