How much Does Concrete pumping Cost?

Concrete pump hire costs in 2025 depend on pump time, distance, and mix volume. Expect flat rate or hourly options. Transparent pricing avoids surprises and helps you budget properly.

Flat Rate or Hourly — You Choose

Hunter Concrete Pumps offers clear, upfront pricing, with two options to suit different job types and timelines.

Flat Rate Pricing

• First Load (up to 3 hours on-site): $800
• Additional Loads: $50 per load

This is ideal for smaller jobs or single-load pours like residential slabs, footings, or pool bases.

Hourly Rate Pricing

• Hourly Rate: $190 per hour
• Minimum Hire: 3 hours
• Travel Rate: $190
• Per Cubic Metre Pumped: $6
• Primer (if required): $15

Perfect for longer or more complex pours where volume and time may vary.

What Affects Your Final Cost

1. Time on Site
More time = more cost. Complex pours, long hose runs, or slow truck arrivals all extend pump time. We’ll help you estimate this ahead of time.

2. Pumped Volume
Pumping is charged at $6 per m³ when using the hourly rate. This helps cover wear on equipment and labour as volume increases.

3. Distance to Site
We travel up to Tea Gardens and down into the Central Coast and these areas can attract a fixed travel rate of $190. That covers mobilisation, fuel, and crew time.

4. Job Setup and Crew
Basic hire includes an operator. If you need help handling hoses or managing the pour, just let us know. We can supply experienced crew at additional cost, quoted in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best pricing option for a standard slab?
Most single-load jobs suit the flat rate model. If the pour is large, staged, or in a remote area, hourly may be more economical. We’ll help work it out.

Do these prices include everything?
Yes — all standard gear, pump setup, and washout are covered. If additional labour, extra hose, or site-specific gear is needed, we’ll quote it before the job.
