Mecbo America, a division of Blastcrete Equipment LLC, brings a new product to its lineup: the Scorpion Concrete Crawler Boom. The Scorpion provides contractors working in piling, drilling, tunneling or commercial construction with a flexible arm for placing concrete where needed without disrupting the jobsite. It is an economical enhancement for contractors who have a concrete pump but need an effective way to move material to spots that are difficult or unsafe to reach using other methods.
The 10 ton Scorpion has a reach of 52 feet vertically and 46 feet horizontally, with a rotational span of 370 degrees — allowing operators to make just over a full turn while extending over structures, landscaping and other difficult-to-reach or potentially dangerous areas. Because the Scorpion has no stabilizers, the operator can keep pumping concrete while the machine is still moving, advancing speed and operational efficiency. Additionally, customizations are available for customers who want to reach higher than 52 feet.
