With the development of the SH end hose (SH: "Steady Hose"), Putzmeister has been able to reduce the risk of injury when placing concrete with booms. While previous concrete end hoses reacted to uncontrolled pressure changes in the concrete – e.g. in the event of trapped air or when a blockage was cleared – with strong lateral deflections, these unpredictable and at times perilous excess vibrations have now been significantly reduced with the new, damped end hose (SH).
