This is what I like so much about CP.com. I've been on some other Forums before where you would get a pissed off reaction from the sites editor for starting a new post about something that was already discussed...O how they love to have some power   Even once got a warning that if I would do it again I could be banned from the site  Same reaction you could also get if you placed a question under the wrong subject etc..

Here its no problem. Someone just helps you find the right post and all are happy CP.com rules

Thanks dipstick. We are all family here. Good bunch of guys and gals. I am in Vegas right now, day before the show, ASME meeting today and that is about it.

This a good point of topic to bring up again.

As a employee for a MFG we are always looking for Pictures of Machines on Real Jobs doing what we do best Pump concrete, It is sad how hard that is to do, there is most always something wrong in the shot, Pump set up in question, Tip Hose End, Length of Hose, Hard hat on Incorrect, No safety glasses, Etc…….. it gets frustrating to find the perfect Picture of a job. Every one of you guys that have posted a picture of your pump on this site have had the same feeling in the pit of your gut when you hit POST, wondering what you didn’t see in the picture that the world will tear apart.   I sure do.

The other issue being talked about under ground it that of things like double end hoses and double bend S  tubes on the end of the hoses being required on the pour due to contractors demand, based on the statements like “This is how we have always done it”.

In an industry when the ACPA, most all pump fleet owners and Pump Mfg’s do not support the use of such things the “Grandfather Clause” should be Void.

The S Bend on the Picture would have been required by whom, the Finisher or the Contractor, Right?????  I kind of Doubt it was the pump operator’s Idea. Don’t shoot the people that showed the picture we need to keep focus or the real problem.

This industry has a long history with old habits and some of them die hard, just because it is how we might have been doing it for a long time, Dad might have done it that way but it might not have been safe then and isn’t safe now.

We can use this as an example to keep up the importance of the danger of using this kind of equipment on the end of our booms. We can use this to promote safety and keep it up front in the awareness of the contractor’s as WHAT NOT TO DO

Another 2 Cents TT   

Here is the trick.. You find a picture where you can not see the endhose. The cribbage is hidden behind something or under water  Make sure you dont get any people on the picture. And don't show the shortrigged side.. Did I cover everything now ?   Best to take a picture from your former job so that your curant boss can not complain about you posting his name on the web...

By the way the rules ca ofcourse change from place to place. Safety glasses are not always required for example.

And its not to cold the water is not frozen ......Good  

Atta a boy

Dipstick why is your ticket box not hanging on your steps

I believe I always let them put it in the closet at the right rear.. Guarenteed dry reciepts
