The pricing structure for concrete pump hire in 2025 is influenced by several critical factors, including the duration of pump operation, the distance from your project site, and the total volume of concrete mix required. Clients have the option to choose between a flat rate or an hourly rate for their services. By providing transparent and detailed cost information, our aim is to empower you to avoid unexpected charges, allowing for effective budget planning. This strategic approach ensures that your investment in concrete pumping delivers optimal outcomes for your construction projects.

Choose the Best Pricing Model for Your Project: Flat Rate or Hourly Rates

At Hunter Concrete Pumps, we offer clear and straightforward pricing tailored to accommodate a wide range of job types and scheduling needs. Our two distinct pricing options empower you to select the most suitable choice based on your specific project requirements and timelines. This flexibility allows for a tailored approach, ensuring you receive maximum value for your investment in concrete pumping services, regardless of the scale of your project.

Affordable Flat Rate Pricing for Quick and Simple Concrete Jobs

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

This pricing framework is particularly advantageous for smaller projects or single-load pours, such as residential concrete slabs, footings, or pool bases. By implementing such a straightforward pricing model, we ensure that you have a clear understanding of your costs, significantly simplifying budget management while eliminating any hidden fees or unexpected expenses that may arise during the project.

Versatile Hourly Rate Pricing for Large and Complex Concrete Pours

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

This option is particularly well-suited for larger or more intricate pours, where both the volume of concrete and the time required can vary greatly. It provides the flexibility necessary to ensure that you only pay for the services you need, custom-tailored to meet the specific demands of your construction project without incurring unnecessary costs.

Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in operation, the higher the associated costs. Factors such as complex pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all contribute to increased time on site. Our skilled team is available to assist you in estimating the time required for your particular project, ensuring you maintain realistic expectations regarding the associated costs.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When opting for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing model is designed to account for equipment wear and tear, as well as the labour involved as the volume increases. Such transparency in our pricing structure aids you in achieving better financial planning for your overall project.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We offer services across a broad area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Depending on the distance involved, a fixed travel fee of $190 may be applicable, covering the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel expenses, and crew time. This approach ensures you are well-informed about any potential costs before your project commences.

4. Job Setup and Crew Assistance Requirements
Our basic hire package includes an operator for the pump. However, if your project requires additional assistance with hose management or pour coordination, please inform us. We can provide a skilled crew at an additional cost, which will be quoted in advance to guarantee full transparency and avoid any surprises throughout the project.
