St Helens Line Pump now available for hire

Camfaud have now added a line pump to the existing boom pump fleet operating from its St Helens depot. Available for hire immediately, this versatile and compact pump unit is ideal for small domestic projects as well as having the grunt to pump longer lines at higher volumes. Based on a Putzmeister 1407 this pump unit is also man enough to pump up to 15 floors vertically, depending on the concrete mix. It comes equipped with 50m of land line and a remote box to enable the operator to work along the full length of any line whilst keeping the concrete flowing.

A Tribute to David Faud RIP 1938-2021

We are tremendously sad to report on the passing of our founder Dave Faud, who passed away peacefully on Friday 5th February 2021.

Having started the business with his wife Theresa with just a single pump in 1981, together they grew Camfaud Concrete Pumps Ltd into a major player within the industry, and one that today sits proudly as one of the largest specialist concrete pump hire businesses in Europe.

Dave was a larger-than-life character in both stature and personality. Known affectionately as ‘Big D’ he made an instant impression on anyone that he met. A ‘true gentleman’ and ‘gentle giant’ were often repeated when describing him to others. He always had time for everyone and was enormously generous and loyal to his family, friends and colleagues.

As one of the early pioneers for Concrete Pumping in the UK, Dave contributed greatly to improving standards and conditions within the industry, before his well-deserved retirement in 2002. He maintained a healthy interest in the business for many years and looked on proudly as the next generation of family continued to expand and grow Camfaud into the nationwide player that it is today.

We are all truly saddened by his passing, but also eternally grateful to have had his warmth and inspiration to guide us over many years. RIP big man, you will be sorely missed.

Long reach required ? No problem…
