Stucco and exterior insulation and finish system pumping has historically been accomplished with heavy-duty, trailer-mounted pumping units weighing 2,500 pounds or more. These powerful pumps have proven effective at providing high production rates over long distances, but often present logistical challenges due to their size.

Recent advances in portable pumps have provided contractors new flexibility. Weighing in at approximately 200 pounds, the portable units allow work to be accomplished with smaller crews, smaller equipment footprints and improved access and transportability. These smaller pumps fit through a standard door and are easily rolled from one spot to another by one person.
