How to Use Concrete Buggy


A concrete buggy, also known as a power buggy, is great for placing concrete when you can't reach the project you're doing, directly from the concrete truck. If you're thinking of renting one to use on your next concrete placement fear not, it's really quite simple to operate.
Most are hydrostatic drive, go forward and backwards, have a brake to stop and a foot and hand lever to dump the bucket. Steering is just like riding a bike, very simple, as long as your on solid ground and not sand or mud.

Using a power buggy to pour a concrete floor is much faster than using a wheelbarrow. As far as weight comparison, typically a wheelbarrow can hold up to 500 lbs of concrete and a power buggy can hold up to 3200 lbs of concrete.
