Choosing the right 18 GPM hydraulic pump is essential for construction contractors who need reliable hydraulic performance, efficient material delivery, and straightforward equipment maintenance. The Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment designed for pumping grout materials, shotcrete, and suitable structural concrete mixes across a variety of construction applications.
With a hydraulic oil requirement of 18 gallons per minute (GPM) at 3,000 PSI and variable pumping output from 0 to 25 cubic yards per hour, the RD6536 offers a practical solution for compatible concrete pumping tasks. Its 3-inch hydraulic squeeze-pump design, universal skid steer mounting plate, and replaceable rubber pumping tube make it a useful option for contractors seeking dependable concrete pumping equipment.
What Is the RD6536 18 GPM Hydraulic Pump?
The Blastcrete Model RD6536 Squeeze Pump is a hydraulic concrete pump attachment designed to deliver compatible construction materials at an adjustable rate. Its variable-speed operation allows operators to regulate output according to project requirements.
The RD6536 is designed to pump grout materials, 3/8-inch shotcrete, and structural concrete mixes containing up to 3/4-inch aggregate. It features a universal skid steer mounting plate, making it suitable for use with compatible skid steer loaders.
For contractors evaluating an 18 GPM hydraulic pump, understanding the RD6536's hydraulic requirements is important. The machine requires a hydraulic oil supply of 18 GPM at 3,000 PSI, so the carrier equipment must meet the specified flow and pressure requirements.
Key Features of the Blastcrete RD6536 Skid Steer Pump

Universal Skid Steer Mounting Plate: Supports installation on compatible skid steer loaders.
Manual Hydraulic Controls: Allow operators to control pumping operations.
Hydraulic Remixer: The receiving hopper includes a hydraulic remixer to help maintain material consistency.
Forklift Pick-Up: Supports convenient equipment handling and transportation.
Replaceable Rubber Pumping Tube: The primary wear part is a 3-inch rubber tube that can be replaced in the field in approximately 20 minutes under suitable service conditions.
These features make the RD6536 worth considering for contractors who need practical concrete pumping equipment with defined hydraulic flow requirements.
Understanding the 18 GPM at 3,000 PSI Hydraulic Requirement
When selecting an 18 GPM hydraulic pump or a hydraulic concrete pump attachment, it is important to distinguish between hydraulic oil flow, hydraulic pressure, and concrete pumping pressure.
The RD6536 has the following stated requirements:
Hydraulic oil flow: 18 GPM.
Hydraulic oil pressure: 3,000 PSI.
Concrete pump pressure: 400 PSI.
Maximum material output: 25 cubic yards per hour.
Hydraulic oil flow and pressure describe the power supply required to operate the attachment. Concrete pump pressure refers to the stated pressure for pumping the material. These specifications serve different purposes and should not be confused when comparing equipment.
