Blastcrete Equipment LLC, a manufacturer of concrete pumps, shotcrete and gunite equipment and accessories, announced a distribution and service agreement with Italian concrete equipment manufacturer Mecbo Srl forming “Mecbo America: a Division of Blastcrete.” This distribution partnership will provide customers in North, Central and South America access to Mecbo products, enhance the Blastcrete offering with new models designed around Mecbo pump technology and ensure a solid parts and service support network throughout North America.
“Blastcrete is well known and trusted in the North American market and has a team with specialized knowledge in concrete pumping and placement as well as servicing concrete pumps,” says Mecbo Communications Director Daniela Tarozzi. “This distribution partnership will ensure customers get the best product solutions for their application with local support and service.”
Blastcrete will leverage the quality and innovative products designed by Mecbo, with an internal capability to modify and customize the equipment design to customer specifications. Additionally, Blastcrete will incorporate Mecbo pump technology into their trailer-mounted pump designs to meet customers’ unique needs in pool installation, deep foundation installation and other high-volume applications.
Mecbo America will offer multiple Mecbo products, including their Beton Cap concrete mixer and Cartrack P6. The Beton Cap is a mixer-pump installed on an axle with a crawler undercarriage. The Cartrack P6 pumping unit is highly versatile, with the capability to be installed on wheels, tracks or a truck.
Both models allow customers to choose between an electric or diesel engine, with a sound-proof option for diesel. Each also contains a work and maintenance station, water tank, and radio control for handling. Mecbo America will also offer the Scorpion, Robotrack, and Car Cingolo — all of which can be found on their website at Mecbo.it.
“We are incredibly excited to have this distribution partnership with Mecbo. It allows us to expand our quality equipment offerings to our customers,” says Blastcrete Co-CEO Scott Knighton. “It’s a win for Blastcrete, for Mecbo, and most importantly, it is a win for our current and prospective customers across the Americas.”
In addition to expanding availability of Mecbo products, the distribution partnership provides customers the security of knowing a top-notch product service provider is backing the equipment close to home. Blastcrete’s technicians are available online and by phone for equipment questions, troubleshooting and replacement parts. They also offer free customer training.
