The cost structure for concrete pump hire in 2025 is influenced by a variety of significant factors. These include the duration of pump operation, the distance from your specific project site, and the total volume of concrete mix required for your job. Clients have the option to choose between a flat rate or an hourly rate for the services rendered. By providing comprehensive and transparent cost information, we aim to assist you in avoiding unexpected charges and help you plan your budget more effectively. This method ensures that your investment in concrete pumping delivers the best possible outcomes for your construction projects.

Choose the Most Suitable Pricing Structure: Flat Rate Versus Hourly Rates

At Hunter Concrete Pumps, we offer clear and straightforward pricing tailored to accommodate the diverse needs of various job types and scheduling demands. Our two distinct pricing options enable you to select the most fitting choice based on your specific project requirements and timelines.

Affordable Flat Rate Pricing for Efficient and Simple Jobs

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

This pricing model is particularly beneficial for smaller-scale projects or single-load pours, such as residential concrete slabs, footings, or pool bases. By embracing this simple pricing structure, we ensure that you have a clear understanding of your costs, significantly simplifying your budget management without the risk of hidden fees or unexpected expenses.

Flexible 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 especially suitable for larger or more intricate pours, where both the volume of concrete and the time required can vary significantly. It provides the necessary flexibility to ensure that you only pay for the services you truly need, tailored to meet the specific demands of your construction project. This approach helps you optimise your expenditure while achieving the desired results.

Key Factors Influencing Your Concrete Pumping Costs

1. Duration of Pump Operation
The longer the pump is in use, the higher the associated costs will be. Factors such as complicated pours, extended hose runs, or delays in the arrival of concrete trucks can all lead to increased time on site. Our experienced team is prepared to assist you in determining the estimated time required for your particular project, ensuring you have realistic expectations regarding the associated costs.

2. Volume of Concrete Pumped
When you opt for the hourly rate, pumping is charged at $6 per cubic metre. This pricing structure takes into account the wear and tear on our equipment as well as the labour involved, which can increase as the volume rises. This level of transparency in our pricing helps you with better financial planning for your project, allowing you to allocate resources effectively.

3. Distance to Your Project Site
We serve a wide area, extending from Tea Gardens to the Central Coast. Based on the distance, a fixed travel fee of $190 may apply, which covers the mobilisation of our equipment, fuel costs, and crew time. This method ensures that you are well-informed about any potential expenses before commencing your project, allowing you to plan accordingly.

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 complete transparency and prevent any unexpected surprises during your project.
