Putzmeister Truck-Mounted Boom Pumps
BSF 56-5
Five-Section, Z-Fold Boom enhances Placement Options
Overview
Built for the way Texas crews work
You can get the reach of the 50-meter class like never before without the weight restrictions. With a five-section boom, the BSF 56-5 still comes in around 100,000 pounds, giving you more options in a 50-meter class vehicle. The innovative, compact design provides a lighter unit with a small footprint that still delivers a vertical reach of 180 feet 9 inches and 163 feet 9 inches of horizontal reach.
With the usual Putzmeister flexibility, strength, and dependability comes additional benefit. This includes the small but revolutionary RFID hopper grate switch, an optimized boom and structural components for weight-to-strength. This truck brings together world-class design and user value into a DOT-friendly package.

Ideal for high-pressure applications
Increased fuel efficiency
Low ceiling height
Reduced component wear
Free flow hydraulic system
Innovative RFID safety switch in the hopper disables the machine when the grate is opened
