Hoppers and elephant trunks are the backbone of any successful construction project. These tools are the unsung heroes of the industry, ensuring concrete is placed safely and accurately where it’s needed. They are constructed from durable materials like flexible PVC, ensuring long-lasting performance. Secure connections are crucial, with components like Tremie Pipes attached to a Concrete Hopper or an Elephant Trunk connected to a Steel Collar, ensuring effective concrete delivery and placement operations. In this article, we’ll dive into the features, applications, benefits and advantages of these products, including steel clamps and pipes. By understanding what makes these tools tick, construction professionals can take their project outcomes to the next level and deliver high-quality results.

A flexible PVC chute is a specialized tool designed for confining and directing concrete during its placement into forms. It is shipped in 50-foot rolls and comes with useful accessories like hoppers and clamps to enhance the efficiency of the concrete pouring process.

At the heart of this system is the elephant trunk itself. Made from heavy-duty vinyl with a polyurethane coating, our 8in, 50ft roll Tremie Hose is built to withstand the toughest construction environments. That size is key to ensuring a proper fit and function when connected to the hopper and other components. This is the tool for efficiently funneling concrete using the tremie method—especially in underwater or deep foundation applications.

The Deslauriers mini hopper is a great example of how this technology can be used for concrete distribution. The vinyl is top-notch so the trunk will maintain its shape and function over time-even in harsh conditions.

Its durable construction and easy-to-handle design make it a top choice for professionals. It’s reliable so critical infrastructure projects meet quality standards. And it’s available in the USA so you get faster shipping and easier access for your American construction team.

Hoppers are made from a sturdy and lightweight material that allows for easy handling and durability. The hoppers are rotationally molded to create a funnel shape, with optional openings of 6”-8”-12” in. Elephant trunks, on the other hand, are flexible PVC chutes used to confine and direct concrete into forms. They are shipped in 50’ rolls and can be cut to desired size, with a maximum recommended length of 25 feet. Steel collars are used to provide a secure transition to the elephant trunk, while clamps are convenient accessories for efficiently attaching with collar.

That combination of features ensures it is directed precisely where needed—minimizing waste and enhancing the overall efficiency of the process.

The Deslauriers Mini Hopper is designed to make placement easier, more accurate and safer.

Concrete forming is a crucial process in construction that involves creating a mold or shape for concrete to be poured into, allowing it to harden and take the desired form. This process requires specialized equipment, such as steel collars, to efficiently funnel concrete into the desired shape. The use of high-density polyethylene and flexible PVC materials in these tools ensures durability and easy handling. In construction, forming is used to create various structures, including walls, floors, and foundations, and is a critical step in building construction. By utilizing these materials and equipment, construction professionals can achieve precise and efficient placement, ensuring the structural integrity and longevity of their projects.

Types of Placing Equipment

There are several types of placing equipment used in construction, each designed to handle specific tasks with precision and efficiency. Hoppers are essential for handling and placing concrete quickly and accurately, featuring optional openings of 6”, 8”, and 12” in diameter. Their sturdy, easy-to-clean design makes them a reliable choice for various construction projects. Trunks, made of flexible PVC, are used to confine and direct concrete, ensuring it is placed safely and efficiently. Steel collars serve as convenient accessories, providing a secure transition. The inside diameter of these tools varies, with some having a diameter of 6” and lengths of up to 50 feet, although it is not recommended to use lengths greater than 25 feet.

Best Practices for Construction Equipment Maintenance

Regular maintenance of construction equipment is essential to ensure optimal performance and extend equipment life. Forming products, including those made from flexible PVC, require special care and maintenance to ensure durability.

Construction equipment should be cleaned and inspected regularly to prevent damage and wear. Proper storage in a dry and secure location is crucial to prevent deterioration. Regular lubrication of moving parts and inspection for wear and tear are critical to maintaining the functionality of the equipment.
