Putzmeister Stationary concrete placing booms (MX-booms)
The main advantages of the MX type series:
  • easy to transport and set up
  • short set-up times
  • secure handling
  • grows upwards with the structure
  • small space requirement
  • with or without counter-weight (depending on application)

MX placing booms with counterweight are the ideal solution for climbing formwork in particular. 
They are well balanced and so minimise the pump torque acting on the climbing formwork. The boom with counter-weight has even proved that it is capable of operating extremely well at great freestanding heights.
Features of the large booms
  • refined kinematics with large angular range of boom joints
  • quick-lock connection using bolts to reduce weight when assembling and dismantling on the crane tower 
  • low individual weights and crane weights
  • lattice tower size varies depending on the placing boom used
  • adapter between the lattice tower and the boom so that it can be adapted to any lattice tower type 
  • integrated hydraulic power pack with hydraulic fluid reservoir
  • platforms with guard rails allow secure access to the coupling joints
  • radio remote control as option
  • dimensions designed for transport in a 40 ft container

Longer booms are possible (up to 50 m) also for lattice tower (only from Putzmeister due to liability reason.)
