As the core equipment of modern construction, the naming rules of concrete pumps directly reflect the technical characteristics and industry standardization level of the equipment. By comparing international common rules with current Chinese standards, it can be found that there are significant differences in naming logic, parameter expression, and standardization paths between the two, but there is also a trend towards technological integration.

International naming convention for concrete pump: functional orientation and parameter quantification
The international naming system for concrete pumps is based on functional characteristics, which are accurately described through the combination of letter codes and numerical parameters. Its core features are as follows:
- Alphabet code system
Equipment type
Distinguish between trailer pumps and vehicle mounted pumps with prefixes such as “HBT” and “HBC”. For example, HBT stands for trailer concrete pump, and HBC stands for vehicle mounted concrete pump.
Power types
Identify the power source through suffix letters, such as “C” for electric pump and “D” for diesel pump. For example, HBT60C is an electric trailer pump, and HBT60D is a diesel trailer pump.
Distribution valve form
Mark the distribution valve type with “S” or “Z”. For example, the “S” in HBT80.13-130RS represents the S-pipe valve, while “Z” may represent the gate valve.
Function extension
Special functions are identified by adding letters, such as “F” for layered fabrics and “G” for refractory bricks.
- Digital parameter system
Conveying capacity
The theoretical maximum displacement is market in cubic meters per hour (m³/h). For example, the “90” in HBT90.21-2220S represents the delivery of 90 cubic meters of concrete per hour.
Export pressure
Mark the maximum pressure in megapascales(MPa). For example, the “13” in HBT80.13-130RS indicates an outlet pressure of 13MPa.
Power identification
Indicate the power of the motor or diesel engine in kilometers (kW). For example, the “130” in HBT.13-130RS represents a diesel engine power of 130kW.
Structural parameters
Some models include conveying cylinder diameter or stroke data. For example, the “220” in HBT90.21-220S may refer to a conveying cylinder diameter of 220mm.

Analysis Of the Differences and Similarities between International and Domestic Naming Rules
- Common Features
Parameter quantification
All core indicators such as displacement, pressure, and power are labeled with numbers to achieve intuitive expression of technical characteristics.
Function identification
All use letter codes to distinguish equipment types, power sources, and distribution valve forms, improving the readability of models.
Safety oriented
International regulations require mandatory safety performance through CE certification, while domestic regulations specify safety parameter limits through national standards.
The naming system fro Chinese concrete pumps is based on national standards, and a structured naming framework has been constructed through the collaboration of product and safety standards. Its core features are as follows:
- National standard system
Product standards, such as “ Flow Concrete Pumps” (GB/T 26409-2022), specify equipment performance parameters and naming conventions. For example, it is required to clearly indicate the maximum theoretical displacement, outlet pressure, and power type in the model.
Safety standards, such as the “Regulations for the Safe Use of Concrete Pumps and Pump Trucks in Construction Machinery and Equipment” (GB/T 39757-2021), require mandatory labeling of maintenance cycles and lubrication system parameters in the user manual.
- Naming logic
Type identification
Use prefixes such as “HBT” and “HBC” to distinguish device types, consistent with international regulations.
Parameter sorting
Using a fixed order of “displacement pressure power”. For example, in HBT60-45Z III” represents product generation.
Safety parameters
National standards require mandatory labeling of safety indicators such as roll stability angle (≥25℃) and hydraulic oil temperature rise limit (≤45℃).
- Domestic naming cases
HBT60-45ZIII
Trailing concrete pump, theoretical displacement valve, is a third-generation product.
Zoomlion ZLJ5310THB 125C
Vehicle mounted pump, theoretical displacement 125m³/h, electric drive, chassis model ZLJ5310.

3. Fusion trend
The Sinicization of International Rules: Domestic manufacturers are gradually adopting the internationally recognized “HBT+parameter” naming system in their exported equipment to adapt to the global market.
Internationalization of domestic standards: China’s participation in the development of ISO concrete machinery standards (such as ISO 13006) is promoting the alignment of domestic naming conventions with international standards.
Standardization of technical parameters: Whether internationally or domestically, equipment performance is measured by the “displacement x pressure” capability index (MPa·m³/h), reflecting the consistency of technical logic.
4. Conclusion and Prospect
The different in naming rules between international and domestic concrete pumps is essentially the boundary between market-oriented free competition and standardized mandatory specifications. With the technological rise and accelerated internationalization of China’s concrete machinery industry, there will be three major trends in naming conventions in the future:
Globalization of parameter expression: Domestic manufacturers will increasingly adopt the internationally recognized “displacement pressure power” ranking to enhance the international compatibility of models.
Integration of safety standards: Domestic standards may introduce dynamic safety parameters (such as real-time pressure monitoring ) from international certification systems, while international rules may draw on China’s quantitative requirements for overall stability.
Identification of intelligent functions: With the popularization of Internet of Things technology, models may add identification such as “IoT” and “PLC” to reflect the level of intelligence of the device.
In this context, the naming convention for concrete pumps is not only a label of technical characteristics, but also a strategic tool for industry standardization and global competition.
