Who needs a $500K Concrete Pumper

[Tractor Seabee]

The video on how the Chinese pump concrete W/O expensive equipment was not a good URL. Will add later. Would cancel this post if I could figure how.

Weird! I am in Beijing, China as we speak and there is no link at all, Ron. Nor in any of BCP's posts. I imagine you guys are posting youtube vids? No Google or YouTube here. Somehow they can even blank out a hyperlink on a forum!

For search engine, I have to use Bing which, at least here, is severely lacking.

I've lived there. I've seen their methods. I don't feel safe in Chinese high-rise buildings.

I agree. Same goes with some of the more "rural" locales in the middle east. Those "quaint" building techniques leave some very structurally unsound buildings. Like if a pair of pack mules break wind at the same time in the street, the outer walls crack all the way up to the roof. A mild earth quake that you can barely feel, and would be completely ignored in the US, knocks down rows of buildings there.

Thanks guys, my source did not know why it would not work either. The first one is the one he sent me. The other one is even better. Why use expensive machinery at home when you have a huge labor supply that needs employment. Sell that machinery overseas for hard cash. Imagine them building that great wall.
