CIFA is introducing innovative new solutions for concrete pumping and shotcreting

 

CIFA is introducing three new concrete machines, as well as new models and solutions that simplify job site operations and boost safety. Electric power is a key feature for machines being made available from CIFA in the future, with variants for the Energya being made available that are electric.

The firm is offering a new range of truck-mounted pumps with booms in the 20m segment, a new K31L truck-mounted pump with a 31m boom and a new shotcrete pump for underground operations called the Wombat. In addition, the firm is offering new options and features for machine control and operator safety.

The Wombat has been designed to offer high performance in applications such as tunnelling, while meeting the latest requirements for safety. Sophisticated controls are said to optimise working, productivity and quality.

Meanwhile, the new K31L pump will meet market requirements for output and performance.
