I think they offer a RZ, where the first two sections roll, and the tip and 3rd do the Z action.

Schwing is trying to break into the Z fold game but they do not offer anything that even compares to the true Z fold that Putz and some other guys have in my opinion. The 31ez is ok but the 52RZ they have and the 36 they offer just dont compaare. They have their advantages but will never compete with the Putz 5 section Z's such as the 47's and up...

Powercrete in Australia built a 46m 6 rz with an Antonelli boom, very good for inside work from what i hear!

Schwings motto seems to be "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" There is a lot of stuff that they should come out with and update, but they just don't.

Schwing came out with a new 28 recently that is a 4 section RZ fold style, I personally like the 31 EZ. Hope I get the chance to run one in my lifetime.

In the small booms up to 31m the Schwing RZ is far better than the strait Z of Putz. The 31/5 of Putz is the only one that comes close, but the 31 Schwing is less mind breaking. I hope one time I have the chance to try the 36sx of schwing to compare it whit the 36Z that I operate at this time.

Why waste the contractors money buying grout, two 5 gallon bucket' of Bentonite mixed like pancake batter added at the priming port with a little water in you hopper about 1/2 way on the barrels have the mixer start dumping on top of your S-tube put two sponges in ,one ahead of the bentonite and one in the s-tube then go for it.

Dipstick; If the contractor have no place to get rid of the grout. You have to think about an other solution. We just start whit a load of pea gravel, and two bucket’s water in the prime port, and prime true the 4” steel line. Remember we prime to slick the line, to much water and you rock pack. To less water and you dry pack. Btw you must remember we have those HD quick release clamps on the line. So if we plug its not such a big deal.

This is off topic but you must have alot of bouncy, noisy mixers driving around then Dipstick. They keep the drum spinning as they drive not only to mix the concrete but also to keep from creating flat spots on the rollers... Thats why they are even spinning while driving empty.
