THERE’S NO PUMPING THE BRAKES ON PUTZMEISTER AMERICA’S AMBITION
CONCRETE SUCCESS

When legendary broadcaster Casey Kasem exhorted his listeners to, “Keep your feet on the ground and keep reaching for the stars,” he could have been describing what Putzmeister America’s pioneering heavy equipment is accomplishing. Literally. The concrete and material placement equipment innovator moved concrete from ground level to the top of the tallest freestanding structure in the world, Dubai’s Burj Khalifa. That’s a reach of 1,988 feet (excluding the antenna spire), straight up.

The record-breaking accomplishment used a pair of super high-pressure pumps that pumped more than 541,339 cubic feet of concrete to heights of up to 1,988 feet.

Their concrete and material placing equipment can be found on the job sites of the biggest structures on the planet, where Putzmeister’s global reputation for quality, durability, and innovation is changing the concrete placing industry, making work easier, safer, and more sustainable.

Founded in Bernhausen, Germany, Putzmeister is part of the third largest manufacturer of heavy equipment in the world, China’s multinational SANY Group. Putzmeister develops, produces, sells, and serves technically superior construction equipment to the concreting sector, including truckmounted concrete pumps, stationary concrete pumps, stationary placing booms and accessories, concrete mixing, pipe delivery of industrial solids, underground concrete placement and excavation equipment, mortar machines, plastering machines, screed conveying, and injection as well as a variety of special applications.
