Somero SP-80 Placer

The new Somero SP-80 is an operator-controlled, ride-on machine that mechanically distributes concrete throughout
a slab-on-grade placement.




The SP-80 eliminates the physically demanding job of manually maneuvering and positioning concrete-filled hoses around the job site. You can reduce your labor requirements while improving efficiency, reliability, and profitability.

The SP-80 is a powerful and extremely maneuverable machine that features an articulating boom with a 40-foot maximum reach, providing an 80-foot diameter placement capability from a single location. Boom location and concrete placement is effortlessly controlled by a single operator. Concrete is placed much faster and with greater accuracy and reliability than with any manual method.

The new SP-80 is another example of Somero Enterprises leading the way to design and manufacture innovative concrete placement equipment that improves quality, reduces labor and increases contractor profits while enhancing working conditions for all crew members. Put the Somero SP-80 to work for you!
