Concrete Pump Trucks

     Our comprehensive CCO Concrete Pump Operator (CPO) training program consists of rigorous preparation for a written exam covering safety, site inspection, and operational theory, focusing on six key domains: pre-trip planning, driving, setup, placement operations, packing up, and end-of-day procedures. It covers ASME B30 standards, hydraulic principles, and hands-on practical skills. Certification is good for 5 years.

Core Components of CCO Concrete Pump Operator Training:

• Safety and Standards: In-depth study of ASME B30.27 material placement systems safety standards, hazard identification (especially high voltage), and PPE requirements.
• Pre-Operational Inspection: Training on inspecting boom safety pins, hydraulic systems, grease levels, and structural integrity.
• Site Management & Setup: Techniques for ground stability assessment, outrigger placement, dunnage use, and traffic control.
• Operational Procedures: Safe, efficient operation of the pump, including boom manipulation, concrete placement, and communication via signals.
• Maintenance & Cleanout: Proper cleaning procedures, washout, and routine maintenance.
• Theory Assessment: A computer-based test covering all domains as outlined in the CCO CPO candidate handbook.
• Practical Assessment: Hands-on training for the practical examination covering machine setup, boom operation, and machine breakdown.
