Kyokuto Kaihatsu Kogyo, Japan's leading concrete pump manufacturer, has introduced a groundbreaking solution for urban construction challenges with its new "HyperCP" series concrete pump truck, model PH80A-26C. Featuring a 26-meter boom length and exceptional environmental performance, this innovation redefines large concrete pump applications in city construction.
The PH80A-26C, set for release on October 15, 2019, represents Japan's only large-scale truck-mounted extrusion-type concrete pump with its impressive 26-meter boom length, currently the longest in its class domestically.
Built on a GVW16-ton-class short-wheelbase chassis (equivalent to an 8-ton truck class), the new pump incorporates a 26-meter boom unit while achieving approximately 17% greater pumping efficiency compared to its predecessor (PH80-26B). The extrusion-type pump combines zero concrete residue and low-noise environmental benefits with remarkable mobility, showcasing the company's technical expertise.
Priced at ¥64 million (excluding consumption tax, including chassis price), Kyokuto plans annual sales of 20 units, strengthening its product lineup and market leadership in specialized vehicles.
As Japan's only extrusion-type concrete pump using a large vehicle chassis, the HyperCP achieves compact dimensions through optimized layout of its pumping and boom units on a GVW16-ton-class short-wheelbase chassis. This design enables flexible operation in urban centers and confined construction sites, creating a versatile concrete pumping solution.
The HyperCP series features a 26-meter M-type four-section boom, currently the longest among domestic extrusion-type concrete pumps, demonstrating Kyokuto's technical leadership in this field.
Hydraulic system optimizations deliver approximately 17% greater pumping capacity compared to previous models while maintaining the extrusion-type pump's environmental advantages of zero concrete residue and low noise operation.
Unlike conventional concrete pumps that leave significant residue in pipelines, the extrusion-type system minimizes waste and pollution by conveying concrete through compressed hoses. Its quieter operation makes it particularly suitable for urban environments.
The HyperCP incorporates Kyokuto's proprietary vibration damping system (KAVS) that reduces boom oscillation through suspension functionality. This innovation enhances equipment durability while improving operator comfort and work environment quality.
Traditional vibration reduction methods typically increase boom rigidity and weight, compromising mobility. Kyokuto's KAVS system employs a novel approach that absorbs vibration energy without adding weight, effectively controlling boom movement.
The HyperCP series represents a significant advancement in concrete pumping technology, combining extended reach, enhanced performance, environmental benefits, and operator comfort to deliver efficient, eco-friendly concrete placement solutions for urban construction projects.
