Putzmeister and SANY Concrete Solutions, members of SANY Group, launched new truck-based concrete pumps at EXCON. This includes Putzmeister BSF 47-5, the biggest on-the-road in India on a four-axle truck, and SANY SYG5180THB300C-8, the only four-arm boom pump in India offering a reach of 30 metres on a two-axle truck. In October 2019, Putzmeister and SANY combined their forces to bring enhanced concrete solutions and improved after-sales coverage in India. The companies have brought together the concrete division sales and service teams of both companies to expand their reach in the domestic market.
Putzmeister has also rolled out advanced fleet management capabilities with ‘Putzmeister Machine Cockpit’ to its range of concrete pumps. The feature includes real-time information on the status of pumps at a site, critical status alerts, remote diagnosis capability to identify faults and implement appropriate measures, key figures for delivery rate, machine use and fuel consumption, alerts when machines are on the move, and reminders for maintenance. Further, at the expo, the company introduced the new Gulf PM premium grease. Developed in partnership with Gulf Oil, this exclusively co-branded blue grease will help power Putzmeister’s automatic greasing systems in its range of concrete pumps.
