Concrete Pumping Equipment Patents: Who Files, What They Claim, Where Gaps Remain
Concentration at the top. The top 5 assignees alone hold 50.0% of all 176 records in scope, and the top 10 hold 69.9% — filing here is dominated by a small set of players. Filings ran at a peak of 22 in 2017, then settled into a lower band; the 2021-2024 span was flat at 7 filings per year with 0% net change, and 2025-2026 are undercounted because publication trails filing by roughly 18 months.

Common questions about concrete pumping equipment patents
Who holds the most patents in concrete pumping equipment?
One assignee leads the 176-record dataset with 25 filings, well ahead of the fifth-place filer at 8 and the tenth-place filer at 6. The top 5 assignees combined hold 50.0% of all records, and the top 10 hold 69.9%, so filing activity is concentrated among a small group rather than spread evenly across the 50 companies in the ranked list. Anyone assessing competitive risk should treat that leader's portfolio as the first thing to search, not the last.
Is concrete pumping equipment patent filing growing or slowing down?
Filing peaked in 2017 at 22 records and has since settled to a lower, flatter rate. Over the last window that can be read reliably without publication-lag distortion, 2021 to 2024, filings held exactly flat at 7 per year, a 0% change. Figures for 2025 and 2026 look lower still, but that is expected because publication trails filing by roughly 18 months, so those years understate true activity rather than showing a real decline.
What technology areas do concrete pump patents cover?
The largest IPC subclasses are F04B, positive-displacement pumps, covering 31.8% of the 176 records, and E04G, scaffolding and formwork, covering 31.3%. B28B (shaping clay and cement products), E04B (building structures), B29C (shaping of plastics) and B28C (mortar and concrete mixing) all appear in double-digit shares, and B33Y, additive manufacturing, appears in 10.8% of records, showing a real overlap between concrete pumping and 3D-printed construction. Because a single record can carry multiple IPC codes, these shares add up to more than 100%, which is expected.
Disclaimer. This analysis is based on Patsnap Eureka data drawn from a limited snapshot of global patent records and is provided for general information and reference only. Patent data carries inherent limitations — recent filings are under-counted because of publication lag, counts may be on a record or family basis, classification and applicant-name data may contain errors or duplicates, and the underlying search query defines the scope shown — so the analysis may be incomplete or inaccurate and may not reflect the full technology landscape.
Nothing here is an exhaustive prior-art, novelty, freedom-to-operate or validity search, nor does it constitute legal, financial or professional advice, and it should not be relied upon as such. Verify independently and review with qualified patent and legal professionals before acting on it.
Method: Filing trend and technology composition. Derived from a Patsnap search on Concrete Pumping Equipment covering 2015–2026, data cut-off 2026-07-31. Counts reflect published records only and shift as new filings publish. Every share divides by all records in scope. Data: Patsnap Eureka. See the full landscape report.
