Sicoma Strength OVERHEAD DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS

Sicoma's traveling hoppers, flying buckets and discharge systems revolutionize the delivery of precast concrete to user stations. Suitable for both wet and dry cast, they can be installed in places where conventional bucket systems are impossible. They can be configured to deliver concrete to both sides of a bay divider without the use of chutes. New to North America, these systems have a long history in Europe and are fully field tested; this is important when comparing with others where only one or two have been installed.
