Description
The Putzmeister BSF 38.16H is a truck-mounted concrete boom pump designed to deliver efficient, high-capacity concrete placement on medium- to large-scale construction projects. Built with Putzmeister’s advanced pumping technology and robust boom design, this model combines powerful pumping performance with extended reach and excellent maneuverability, making it a dependable solution for commercial construction, infrastructure work, and large residential developments.
The BSF 38.16H features a 38-meter placing boom mounted on a heavy-duty truck chassis, allowing contractors to transport the pump easily between job sites while maintaining the stability required for precise concrete placement. Depending on configuration, the boom typically uses a multi-section articulated design that allows operators to maneuver around obstacles, position the boom accurately, and place concrete efficiently in complex job-site environments. The boom can rotate up to 365 degrees, providing wide working coverage without the need to frequently reposition the truck.
This model offers an impressive reach capability, with approximately 37.5 meters (about 121 ft) of vertical reach and around 32.8 meters (about 108 ft) of horizontal reach, allowing operators to deliver concrete to elevated decks, foundations, walls, and other structures with minimal repositioning. The system also provides a maximum reach depth of approximately 25.3 meters, making it suitable for deep placements such as basements or large foundation pours.
At the core of the unit is the .16H concrete pump system, engineered for high output and reliable performance under demanding conditions. The pump can deliver up to approximately 160–182 m³ per hour (around 210–238 yd³/hr) of concrete with delivery pressures of about 85 bar (approximately 1,230 psi), ensuring a consistent concrete flow even when pumping difficult mixes or over longer distances. The pump features hardened material cylinders and long stroke lengths designed to reduce wear and maximize durability during continuous operation.
For improved job-site efficiency and operator safety, the BSF 38.16H incorporates advanced control technology such as Putzmeister’s Ergonic® pump system, which provides precise pump management, optimized hydraulic control, and real-time monitoring of operating parameters. The system allows smooth boom movement, consistent pumping pressure, and efficient fuel consumption while reducing wear on major components.
The boom is supported by hydraulically operated outriggers that stabilize the truck during pumping operations, allowing the machine to safely extend its full working range. A 5-inch (DN125) delivery pipeline and flexible end hose enable efficient material flow and precise concrete placement at the discharge point.
Overall, the Putzmeister BSF 38.16H is known for its balance of reach, pumping capacity, and reliability. With its powerful pump cell, extended boom reach, and truck-mounted mobility, it provides contractors with a versatile and efficient concrete placement solution for a wide variety of construction applications.
