The K42E stands out for a number of technological innovations that revolutionise the concept of the truck pump but also, and most importantly, offers the same performance as a traditional model while reducing consumption and emissions. The boom extends up to 42 m in 5 sections with the last two in carbon fibre: a unique feature of CIFA's CARBOTECH range and a smart way of optimizing the weight of the machine without reducing strength and reliability.
The K42E is equipped with a state-of-the-art system that uses a 30 Ah battery pack to power two electric motors: the first drives the hydraulic pump to move the boom and open the outriggers; while the second drives the pumping unit and other services.
If the work requires a high level of performance that cannot be achieved with the available charge, the new ENERGYA pump can be connected directly to an electrical outlet at the construction site (three-phase). This means the system will continue to operate with the Diesel engine of the truck switched off and therefore without emitting exhaust gas and reducing noise.
In the case of a complete lack of electrical sources, it is possible to connect the K42E to the truck's power take-offs and therefore use the vehicle's engine to complete the pumping of concrete and close the boom and outriggers.
