Choosing the right variable speed concrete pump is essential for construction contractors who need precise material delivery, reliable performance, and efficient concrete placement. The Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment designed to handle grout materials, shotcrete, and suitable structural concrete mixes across a variety of construction applications.
With adjustable pumping speeds from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour, the RD6536 gives operators flexibility to match material output to project requirements. Its maintenance-friendly squeeze-pump design, universal skid steer mounting plate, and field-replaceable rubber pumping tube make it a practical option for contractors seeking versatile concrete pumping equipment.
What Is the RD6536 Variable Speed Concrete Pump?
The Blastcrete Model RD6536 Squeeze Pump is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment engineered for controlled pumping of compatible construction materials. Its variable-speed capability allows operators to adjust output according to the job's material delivery requirements.
The RD6536 is designed for pumping grout materials, 3/8-inch shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes containing up to 3/4-inch aggregate. Its universal skid steer mounting plate supports installation on compatible skid steer loaders, helping contractors move the pumping equipment between suitable work areas.
Whether used for concrete placement, grouting, or selected repair applications, the RD6536 offers adjustable output and practical maintenance features for demanding construction projects.
Key Features of the RD6536 Skid Steer Pump
The RD6536 combines flexible pumping performance with a straightforward operating and maintenance design.
Variable Pumping Speed: Adjustable output from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour to suit different material placement requirements.
3-Inch Hydraulic Squeeze Pump: Designed to pump compatible grout, shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes.
Universal Skid Steer Mounting Plate: Supports attachment to compatible skid steer loaders.
Manual Hydraulic Controls: Allow operators to manage pumping operations.
Hydraulic Remixer: A remixer in the receiving hopper helps maintain material consistency.
Forklift Pick-Up: Facilitates equipment handling and transportation.
Replaceable Rubber Pumping Tube: The primary wear part is a 3-inch rubber tube that can be replaced in the field in approximately 20 minutes under suitable service conditions.
Maintenance-Friendly Design: Concrete material does not directly contact the pump's moving mechanical components, helping reduce material-related wear on those parts.
These features make the RD6536 worth considering for contractors looking for a variable speed concrete pump that combines adjustable output with convenient servicing.
Benefits of a Variable Speed Concrete Pump
A variable speed concrete pump allows operators to adjust the pumping rate according to project conditions and material requirements. This flexibility can help contractors manage concrete delivery more effectively.
1. Adjustable Material Output
The RD6536 offers variable output from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour. This allows operators to select a suitable pumping rate for compatible materials and specific placement tasks.
2. Versatile Material Handling
The pump is designed to handle grout, 3/8-inch shotcrete, and suitable structural concrete mixes containing up to 3/4-inch aggregate. This versatility can reduce the need to use different pumping equipment for every compatible material application.
3. Maintenance Efficiency
The 3-inch rubber pumping tube is the primary wear component and can be replaced in approximately 20 minutes in the field under suitable conditions. This serviceability can help reduce maintenance downtime.
4. Reduced Contact with Moving Components
The squeeze-pump design keeps concrete material away from the pump's moving mechanical parts, helping limit material-related wear and supporting long-term equipment serviceability.
5. Flexible Jobsite Operation
With its universal skid steer mounting plate, the RD6536 can be used with compatible carrier equipment, offering flexibility across suitable construction sites.
Applications of the RD6536 Concrete Pump
The RD6536 variable speed concrete pump is designed for several concrete and grout pumping applications, subject to material compatibility and project requirements.
Concrete Construction: Supports the delivery of suitable structural concrete mixes to designated placement areas.
Grout Pumping: Handles compatible grout materials for selected construction and infrastructure applications.
Shotcrete Applications: Pumps suitable 3/8-inch shotcrete mixes for compatible placement methods.
Concrete Repair: Can support repair and rehabilitation work where the specified material is pumpable through the equipment.
Infrastructure Projects: Offers a potential solution for compatible concrete and grout delivery tasks across construction and maintenance projects.
Before selecting the RD6536 for a particular application, verify the mix design, aggregate size, hose setup, pumping distance, and carrier hydraulic requirements.
