I am pouring a patio with 14 yds of concrete. I have a gate and 50 ft. to go from the truck to the patio. I know about the power buggies and am looking for a better, cost effective way of moving the concrete.

You can rent them in our area from the construction equipment rental. They call them snorkles and they hook right up to the truck and pump the cement to where you want it. We went a longer distance than that with no problem.

You can look in the yellow pages for a pump truck to use, if your using a contractor, they may have access to a company that can do it. This can also be accomplished with wheel barrels and lots of manual labor. They also make powered wheel barrels (we always called them Georgia buggies) that can probably be rented, at least two on up to as many as you can man.

Ask the concrete company you will be buying from. If rental is not an option, they may have the equipment for a slightly higher rate.
