The Blastcrete Equipment Company RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is a hydraulic squeeze pump attachment engineered for high-efficiency concrete placement in demanding construction environments. One of its most valuable design advantages is its field replaceable pump tube system, which significantly reduces downtime and simplifies maintenance on active job sites.
High-Performance Skid Steer Concrete Pump
The RD6536 is designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of concrete pumping applications. With variable output control from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour, operators can precisely match flow rates to job requirements.
It is commonly used for:
Grout pumping operations
3/8-inch shotcrete applications
3/4-inch structural concrete mixes
General concrete repair and placement work
This flexibility makes it a strong solution for both light commercial and heavy industrial construction projects.
Field Replaceable Pump Tube System
A standout feature of the RD6536 is its 3-inch rubber pump tube, which serves as the primary wear component of the system.
Key benefits include:
Tube replacement completed in approximately 20 minutes in the field
No need for full disassembly of the pump system
Reduced maintenance downtime
Lower long-term operating costs
Because the squeeze pump design prevents concrete from contacting moving mechanical parts, wear is concentrated in a single replaceable component, extending overall machine life.
Hydraulic Performance and Operating Efficiency
The RD6536 is powered by a robust hydraulic system designed for continuous operation in tough jobsite conditions.
Performance specifications include:
Hydraulic requirement: 18 GPM @ 3000 PSI
Pump pressure: 400 PSI
Output range: 0–25 cubic yards per hour
Pump outlet: 3-inch discharge line
Vertical pumping distance: up to 100 ft
Horizontal pumping distance: up to 250 ft
This configuration ensures steady material flow and reliable pumping performance even under extended workloads.
Built for Durability and Ease of Maintenance
The RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is engineered with simplicity and longevity in mind. Its key design advantages include:
Minimal internal wear due to squeeze pump technology
Hydraulic remixer in the receiving hopper for consistent mix quality
Manual hydraulic control system for precise operation
Forklift pick-up compatibility for easy transport
Universal skid steer mounting plate for fast attachment
These features reduce operator complexity while improving overall productivity.
Construction Applications
The RD6536 is widely used across multiple construction sectors, including:
Infrastructure development
Commercial foundation work
Concrete repair and restoration
Tunnel and underground construction
Shotcrete and grout pumping applications
Its adaptability makes it a preferred choice for contractors needing a reliable multi-purpose pumping system.
