The Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is a hydraulic squeeze pump attachment designed to deliver reliable performance, adjustable pumping speed, and simplified maintenance for demanding construction projects.
With a variable output of up to 25 cubic yards per hour, the RD6536 helps contractors pump concrete and other cementitious materials efficiently while taking advantage of a skid steer loader's versatility.
What Is the Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump?
The Blastcrete Model RD6536 is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment featuring a 3-inch squeeze pumping system and a universal skid steer mounting plate. It is designed for pumping grout materials, 3/8-inch shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/4 inch.
Its variable-speed operation allows operators to adjust the pumping output according to the material and job requirements. This flexibility makes the RD6536 a suitable option for various concrete placement applications, including construction, repair, and specialized pumping projects.
Key Features of the RD6536 Concrete Pump Attachment
The RD6536 combines practical design features with straightforward operation to support productivity on construction sites.
Variable Pumping Speed: Adjustable output from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour for greater control over material placement.
3-Inch Hydraulic Squeeze Pump: Designed to handle grout, shotcrete, and compatible concrete mixes.
Universal Skid Steer Mounting Plate: Allows attachment to compatible skid steer loaders.
Manual Hydraulic Controls: Provides direct control of pump operation.
Hydraulic Remixer: The receiving hopper includes a hydraulic remixer to help maintain material consistency.
Forklift Pick-Up: Supports convenient handling and movement of the equipment.
Field-Replaceable Rubber Pumping Tube: The primary wear component can be replaced in approximately 20 minutes, according to the manufacturer.
Reduced Material Contact With Moving Parts: The squeeze pump design helps minimize wear on internal mechanical components exposed to the pumped material.
These features make the RD6536 an attractive choice for contractors seeking a versatile and maintainable skid steer concrete pumping solution.
Applications of the Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Concrete Pump
The RD6536 is designed to handle several types of cementitious materials when the mix is compatible with the pump and delivery system.
1. Grout Pumping
The RD6536 can be used for pumping grout in construction and repair applications where controlled material delivery is important.
2. Shotcrete Applications
The pump supports compatible shotcrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/8 inch, making it useful for certain concrete spraying and repair projects.
3. Structural Concrete Placement
With the ability to handle compatible concrete mixes containing aggregate up to 3/4 inch, the RD6536 provides a solution for selected structural concrete placement tasks.
4. Remote Concrete Delivery
With a stated vertical pumping distance of up to 100 feet and a horizontal pumping distance of up to 250 feet, the pump can support applications where concrete or grout must be delivered away from the equipment's position. Actual performance depends on the material mix, hose configuration, and site conditions.

Why Choose a Hydraulic Squeeze Pump?
A hydraulic squeeze pump uses a flexible rubber pumping tube to move material through the pumping system. This design helps limit direct contact between the concrete or grout and the pump's moving mechanical components.
For contractors, this can offer several advantages:
Simplified Maintenance: The replaceable rubber pumping tube is designed for field servicing.
Adjustable Material Flow: Variable-speed operation helps accommodate different pumping requirements.
Versatile Material Handling: Suitable for compatible grout, shotcrete, and concrete mixes.
Skid Steer Integration: Uses a compatible skid steer loader as the equipment platform.
Practical Jobsite Operation: The hydraulic system supports pumping applications that require controlled material delivery.
Proper mix design, routine inspection, and adherence to the manufacturer's operating instructions are essential for dependable performance.
