Schwing S 47 SX Boosts Construction Efficiency with 47meter Boom Pump

If concrete pump trucks serve as the "circulatory system" of modern construction, then the boom acts as the critical "blood vessel" within this system. Among the myriad brands and models available, the Schwing S 47 SX distinguishes itself with its innovative five-section boom design, delivering exceptional maneuverability in confined spaces and complex working conditions. What sets this 47-meter pump truck apart? This article provides an in-depth analysis of its structural features, performance parameters, and practical applications.

The Schwing S 47 SX is a heavy-duty concrete pump truck, with its standout feature being its five-section boom structure. Compared to conventional four-section booms, this design offers significant advantages in terms of controllability and reachability in challenging environments. Primarily designed for concrete placement in high-rise buildings, bridges, and tunnels, this model excels in urban construction sites where space is limited. The equipment is currently available for sale or service in Pittsburgh (PIT), Cleveland (CLE), St. Louis (STL), and Columbus (COL).

The S 47 SX incorporates a five-section boom structure with Hyper Extension technology at each joint. This design enhances flexibility during boom deployment and retraction, allowing operators to easily navigate around obstacles and achieve precise concrete placement. The Hyper Extension technology enables greater articulation angles at boom joints, significantly improving the pump truck's mobility in tight spaces.

To accommodate urban environments, the S 47 SX features a compact chassis design. With an overall length of just 39 feet 3 inches (approximately 11.96 meters), the truck demonstrates excellent road mobility and site maneuverability. The reduced turning radius further facilitates operation in confined construction sites.

The pump truck is equipped with a robust outrigger system, featuring a front outrigger span of 29 feet 4 inches (approximately 8.9 meters) and a rear outrigger span of 30 feet 5 inches (approximately 9.3 meters). This wide stance provides exceptional stability, ensuring safe and reliable operation across various working conditions.

• Maximum Vertical Reach: 151 feet 3 inches (approximately 46.1 meters)
• Maximum Horizontal Reach: 134 feet 5 inches (approximately 41.0 meters)
• Net Horizontal Reach from Truck Front: 123 feet 5 inches (approximately 37.6 meters)
• Minimum Height for Full Boom Extension: 32 feet 2 inches (approximately 9.8 meters)
• Boom Section Lengths:
  • Section 1: 31 feet 9 inches (approximately 9.7 meters)
  • Section 2: 26 feet 2 inches (approximately 8.2 meters)
  • Section 3: 24 feet 6 inches (approximately 7.4 meters)
  • Section 4: 28 feet 2 inches (approximately 8.5 meters)
  • Section 5: 26 feet 6 inches (approximately 8.0 meters)
• Swing Range: 730 degrees for comprehensive placement capability
• End Hose Length: 10 feet (approximately 3.0 meters) for precise concrete placement
• Overall Height (Boom Folded): 13 feet 2 inches (approximately 4.0 meters)

The Schwing S 47 SX demonstrates exceptional performance in the following construction scenarios:

In densely built urban environments with limited spacing between structures, the five-section boom effortlessly navigates around buildings, power lines, and other obstacles to achieve accurate concrete placement.

For bridge projects requiring concrete placement at height or over water, the extended reach of the S 47 SX meets demanding placement requirements while improving construction efficiency.

The compact design and flexible boom system enable smooth operation within the confined spaces of tunnel construction projects.

When working on building renovations or structural reinforcement projects that require concrete placement in tight spaces, the articulated five-section boom provides unmatched access capability.

All technical specifications are subject to change without notice due to production batches and configuration variations. Operators must strictly adhere to the operation manual and perform regular maintenance to ensure safe and reliable pump truck performance.

With its innovative five-section boom design and superior performance characteristics, the Schwing S 47 SX has established itself as an indispensable asset in modern construction projects. It plays a vital role in enhancing construction efficiency, reducing labor intensity, and ensuring project quality.
