Study the machine on outriggers - chassis, hopper, pump, and folded boom sections.

Learning objectives

By the end of this module, students will be able to:

  • Identify the major parts of a concrete placer boom truck

  • Understand how concrete is pumped, transferred, and placed on site

  • Explain the role of the hopper, pump, pipeline, boom sections, hydraulic system, outriggers, and end hose

  • Understand boom movement, reach, positioning, and safe concrete placement

  • Relate concrete placing equipment to real construction site workflows

  • Understand site considerations such as stability, pumping pressure, pipe blockage, work-zone safety, and placement sequence

About the module

Mechanised concrete placement, as a working system.

A concrete placer boom truck - also called a truck-mounted concrete boom pump - transports and places concrete efficiently at construction sites. It combines a concrete pump, hydraulic boom, delivery pipeline, and end hose on a mobile truck chassis, allowing concrete to be placed at height, depth, or distance without manual transportation.

In this iXRLabs machine module, learners view the placer boom truck as a complete working system. The module explains the flow of concrete from the mixer truck into the hopper, through the pumping mechanism, along the delivery pipeline, and finally through the boom and end hose to the placement location.

It covers the truck chassis, hopper, agitator, pumping cylinders, S-valve, hydraulic pump, boom sections and joints, delivery pipes, end hose, outriggers, and control panel - and introduces concrete workability, pumpability, boom reach, discharge control, pipeline pressure, placement accuracy, outrigger stability, and safe operating zones. It works well for machine familiarisation, construction-equipment demonstration, and pre-site-visit learning.

7thi

7thi in this module

Students can ask 7thi about pumpability, boom reach, outrigger stability, or any part they see on the truck. 7thi answers in context, without breaking the flow.

Common questions

Questions about this module.

Book a demo
Does it show how concrete flows through the machine?

Yes. The module traces concrete from the mixer truck into the hopper, through the pumping cylinders and S-valve, along the pipeline, and out through the boom and end hose to the placement point.

Can students explore the boom movement?

Yes. Learners see how the boom is extended, folded, rotated, and positioned to cover large areas, along with the role of outriggers in stability.

What prior knowledge do students need?

Foundation-level construction or concrete technology. Suitable for undergraduate Year 2 and above, and for diploma / polytechnic civil courses.

How long is a typical session?

About 15 minutes for a full run including assessment. Useful as pre-site-visit learning before students see real equipment.

Which headsets is this module optimised for?

HTC, Meta Quest 2 / 3 / Pro, and any WebXR-compatible browser. It also runs in desktop browsers without a headset.
