1.3.1 THEORETICAL SERVICE LIFE OF A MACHINE
Our concrete pumps and placing booms are designed, under normal use, for a theoretical life of up to
15 years.
The following reference and empirical values are used as a basis:
Truck-mounted concrete pump S 17 - S 43 SX Reference value
1
Delivery rate [m³] / per year 30 000
Construction jobs per year
2
850
Truck-mounted concrete pump S 45 SX - S 65 SXF Reference value
1
Delivery rate [m³] / per year 30 000
Construction jobs per year
2
500
Truck mixer pumps Reference value
1
Delivery rate [m³] / per year 15 000
Construction jobs per year
2
250
Stationary concrete pump / Separate placing booms Reference value
1
Delivery rate [m³] / per year 20 000
Construction jobs per year
2
280
Please note that, in addition to the number of construction jobs and the delivery rate (volume of
pumped material), other operating factors can also significantly reduce the service life of a machine
under certain conditions, such as:
- Not operating the machine in accordance with its intended purpose
- Misuse (e.g. using the boom as a lifting device)
- Improper extension of the end hoses
- Failure to follow the maintenance guidelines
- Operating a machine under extreme conditions, e.g. under excessive heat or excessive cold
- Improper operation by machine operators without adequate training or instruction
- Using concrete pipelines that are not approved by SCHWING
- Not performing the boom inspections and corresponding repairs on time
Any discrepancies can affect the service life accordingly. The information specified with regard to the
theoretical life does not constitute any commitment or guarantee, nor does it represent any other as-
surance as to a machine’s quality and durability.
