Finding the right multi-story construction solutions is essential for contractors who want to improve productivity, reduce labor requirements, and streamline building projects. In multi-story commercial and residential construction, transporting materials between floors and filling concrete masonry unit (CMU) walls can create significant logistical challenges.
The Blastcrete MasonMate offers a specialized solution for high-rise block filling by combining a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump, a high-shear continuous mixer, and a 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter in one compact machine. Designed to eliminate traditional CMU block fill bucket brigades, this labor-saving equipment can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%.
For masonry contractors working on multi-story developments, the MasonMate helps simplify material handling, improve placement efficiency, and support more productive construction operations.

What Is the Blastcrete MasonMate?
The Blastcrete MasonMate is specialized construction equipment designed for high-rise block filling applications. It integrates material loading, continuous mixing, and hydraulic pumping to help contractors manage CMU wall filling more efficiently.
The machine features a 2-inch D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump driven by a heavy-duty planetary gearbox. Its high-shear continuous mixer supports ongoing material preparation, while the integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify bulk material loading.
The specified configuration operates with a 35 HP Briggs & Stratton gasoline engine. Alternative power options include a Kubota water-cooled diesel engine and a 30 HP electric motor with starter and disconnect.
Designed for restricted construction environments, the MasonMate can fit inside a suitable freight elevator or be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. It can also be moved with a pallet jack and is designed to operate in spaces with ceilings as low as 8 feet.
Why Multi-Story Construction Projects Need Efficient Equipment
Multi-story building projects require careful coordination of equipment, labor, and material placement. Limited access, restricted overhead clearance, and the need to transport materials to upper floors can affect productivity.
The Blastcrete MasonMate is designed to address several of these challenges through its integrated mixing, pumping, and material handling capabilities.
1. Reduce Labor Requirements by Up to 75%
Traditional CMU block filling may involve bucket brigades that require workers to transport material manually. This can increase labor requirements and slow down material placement.
The MasonMate is designed to eliminate these bucket brigades and can reduce on-the-job labor by up to 75%. This helps contractors allocate their workforce more efficiently and reduce repetitive manual handling.
2. Combine Continuous Mixing and Hydraulic Pumping
The MasonMate integrates a high-shear continuous mixer with a D3522 hydraulic squeeze pump to support material preparation and delivery.
With a rated output range of 0–6 cubic yards per hour, the machine provides a dedicated solution for high-rise block filling applications. Actual production rates depend on material characteristics, operating conditions, and job-site requirements.
Combining mixing and pumping in one machine helps simplify equipment setup and supports a coordinated material placement workflow.
3. Simplify Bulk Material Handling
The integrated 1,000 lb. capacity bulk bag lifter helps simplify bulk material loading and reduce manual handling requirements.
By bringing bulk bag lifting, continuous mixing, and pumping together in one system, the MasonMate supports a more organized process from material loading to CMU wall filling.
4. Improve Equipment Access Between Floors
Transporting equipment to upper floors can be challenging when elevator capacity and available space are limited.
The MasonMate is designed to fit inside a suitable freight elevator and can also be positioned using a telescoping forklift or crane. Its pallet-jack mobility supports movement around suitable job-site areas.
These features make it a practical option for contractors evaluating equipment for multi-story construction environments. Always verify elevator dimensions, load capacity, and transportation requirements before moving equipment between floors.
5. Help Reduce Dust and Improve Workflow
Manual material transfers can generate dust and require repeated handling steps. The MasonMate's integrated material handling system is designed to help reduce dust associated with conventional handling methods.
Reducing manual transfers can also help construction teams organize placement activities and improve workflow efficiency.
