some time next year in uk, all concrete pumps will have two have an MOT run on white diesel have six weekly inspections, and use taco-graft, i was in vosa this week and they told me thats what will happen, so i think after 30 years maybe its time to move on

Looks like the time has realy come to start building pumps on crane chassis. Thats what's causing this kind of things.. That we drive with a standard truck chassis. We have to drive on white diesel here while cranes don't.

We have to stick to all the weight restrictions while cranes get suspended. If we would build a pump on crane chassis we could have much bigger pumps here in Norway.

MOT is done over here for years keeps your machine safe one the road. white diesel sins 3 year every body's problem. and I think you ment tachograph that is just a joke thing that can be crost over.

Dipstick it is al about money buy a m52 trayler pump take it to ginaf in the netherlands and tell them to rebuild it to a self driving equipment. it will cost some but it end up looking like this but then as a pump.

But thats the problem... The price. It would be funn though if putz or schwing could make 1 model like a 52m on a crane chassis. I think there is more countrys that have the same problem. There could be a little market for it..

Thats true. Only problem is that all the big towns are about an 8 hour drive apart from each other. And with a country 16 times bigger than Holland and only 1/4th of the amount of people you can imagine these towns are not very big. So it could work but don't expect the operator to ever come home ;-)

And charge the customer for a heap of diesel...

But honestly.. you don't know if it works before you try it I think.
