Not a better crew in the Carolinas that can drag that 5'' hose than Joseph and the boys from Carolina Floors.

They only know one speed............WideOpen !

Wow, those guys really hammer it down! can't even imagine having to drag 5" line around, we normally use 3" hose for cue decking up here, and after watching your video, I will never again complain about it. Much respect to the dudes that muscle that stuff around all day.

I can't see the bennefit of using 5" system whit 4" you don't have to drag the hose you can let the pump do the working like this: http://video.concretepumping.com/video/442/50-meter-system

Only if the concrete was so bad that it wouldn't go trough the 4'' . Did I see 3 men handling the hose? The men in bleu handle the 4'' with one man and a big smile.

CAROLINA FLOORS ARE PROBALLY THE BEST I HAVE EVER SEEN POUR CONCRETE, KABOOM----YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, YOU CAN'T PUMP IT FAST ENOUGH FOR THESE GUYS-----A HOSE HOG SALESMAN WENT OUT TO ONE OF CAROLINAS POURS TO TRY TO SELL THEM THERE PRODUCT---THEY SAW HOW CAROLINA DRAGS HOSE, AND HE PACKED HIS SHIT UP AND SAID THERES NO WAY I CAN COMPETE WITH THAT--THESE GUYS ARE UNREAL----THE REASONING BEHIND THE 5" SYSTEM, IS THAT LIGHTWEIGHT UP HERE IN THE MOUNTAINS WILL NOT GO THROUGH 4", ALTHOUGH I CAN PUMP LIGHTWEIGHT THROUGH 3" IN ASHEVILLE. ITS ALL ABOUT THE MATERIAL.

They are probably the best crew to do floor , but who thanks them when they have wornout bodies ? Or pay their medicalbill.... "Thank You for You pull the 5" buy hand , so We dont had to buy some hosehogs or distrubutors !" more $ in the owners pocket....

But it's LIGHTWEIGHT concrete, it's LIGHT. You almost have to stand on the hose to keep it from floating away. lol

If you get the guys to work in unison, It's not nearly as tough to move. And if you can time a 'pull' with the pump surge, more often than not, you'll pull it too far.
