Somero® HoseHogTM Saves AP Concrete Time and Energy
Abe Phinney, owner of AP Concrete in Gray, Maine, is a real hands-on contractor who works on the job with his
crews every day. In business for 12 years, AP Concrete pours concrete floors for a wide variety of construction
projects including companies such as Wal-Mart and Lowe's.
"I have snaked a lot of hose myself, and know how much wear and tear it is on the body,"
said Phinney, referring to the hundreds of feet of concrete-filled slick line hose used to pour
concrete on jobs where redi-mix trucks can't be used. "The HoseHog machines make a
big difference for me and my crew--they make the jobs easier and there is less chance of
back injury."
The Somero HoseHog is a self-propelled machine powered by a 13 HP engine that is
designed to pick-up and move 4-inch or 5-inch slick line hose around a pour site. With its
standard high-flotation tires and specially designed pans, the HoseHog provides the power
and control needed to pull hose and place concrete faster. Using the Somero placing
system of two machines, the HoseHog can increase productivity by 20-30%.
"I really notice how much time and energy is saved using the HoseHog machines to help with the breakdown
process, too," said Phinney. "It used to take five or six guys from my crew to break-out all the steel pipe, which
took them away from the finishing process. With the HoseHog machines, breakdown is so much faster and
doesn't wear-out my crew."
Phinney, who also owns a Somero CopperHead® and 160 Laser Screed® and a PowerRake®, bought his pair of
HoseHog machines on-the-spot during a demo while pouring a floor for a Lowe's. He immediately saw how much
easier they made the job, plus he already knew he could depend on the quality and service he gets from Somero
and its line of machines for the concrete contractor.
The Hose Hog is one of the long line of products designed by Somero
Enterprises to save the concrete contractor time and money with:
