What is the pumping capacity of the Trojan P-60?

The standard P-60 (trailer pump) delivers up to 49 m³/hr, while the truck-mounted variant can deliver up to 52 m³/hr. These are maximum theoretical outputs — real-world performance varies with mix design, hose length, slump, and setup.

What is the maximum concrete pressure?

The P-60 is rated for 85 bar max concrete pressure. This determines the practical horizontal/vertical pumping distance — but actual pressure under load depends heavily on the concrete mix and pipeline friction.

What maximum aggregate size can it pump?

Maximum recommended aggregate size is 30 mm. Anything coarser increases wear and may cause plugging in bends or valves.

What are the concrete cylinder dimensions?

Diameter: 165 mm; Stroke: 1,125 mm. This long-stroke design helps maintain steady flow for low-slump or harsh mixes.

What type of valve system does the P-60 use?

It uses an S-tube (S-Valve) system, sized 152 × 127 mm. S-tubes are robust for: low-slump mixes, mixes with larger aggregates, and high-pressure pumping. It's one of the reasons Trojan pumps are popular on shotcrete and line-pumping jobs.

What is the hopper size?

The hopper holds 540 L and has a 127 mm outlet. A larger hopper is useful when feeding from ready-mix trucks in high-production cycles.

What are the P-60's hydraulic characteristics?

Hydraulic cylinder bore: 75 mm; Hydraulic tank capacity: 180 L; System type: Closed-loop over-centre hydraulic system. This closed-loop design reduces heat generation and improves cycling efficiency.

How heavy is the machine and what are the dimensions?

Weight: approximately 2,450 kg for trailer-pump; Dimensions: approximately 4800 × 1700 × 1750 mm. This makes it towable with most ¾-ton or 1-ton pickups.

What engine does the Trojan P-60 use?

Specs vary by year and region. The manufacturer pages list hydraulic/pump specs but often not the exact engine model. Older units typically used industrial diesel engines in the 50–80 HP class. Buyers should confirm: engine brand/model, hour count, service history, and recent rebuilds.

What should I inspect before buying a used P-60?

Key wear areas include: Wear plate & wear ring; S-tube and spectacle plate; Pistons and cups; Hydraulic seals & hoses; Hopper grate & agitator; Hydraulic pump pressure test; Remote control function. Ask for: maintenance logs, rebuild receipts, recent photos of wear parts, and hydraulic/system pressure test results.

What are typical used-market prices?

Based on current listings: Older unit (2005, 2,800 hrs) → approximately $25,000; Working unit, strong condition → $70,000–$80,000. The large spread comes from: wear-part condition, pump hours, engine condition, rebuild history, and trailer vs truck-mounted version.

Are manuals and datasheets available?

Yes — several public documents exist: Owner's/Operating Manual (P-40/50/60/70); General Spec Sheet PDF (multi-model); Manufacturer spec pages for trailer- and truck-mounted versions. These include detailed specs, maintenance guidance, and hydraulic diagrams.

What jobs is the Trojan P-60 best suited for?

Based on its specs and design: residential & commercial line pumping, slab work, footings and columns, small to mid-range shotcrete, low-slump or rough mixes, and applications needing high line pressure. The S-tube and long-stroke design handle harsher mixes better than swing-valve pumps.

Is the P-60 a good choice for shotcrete?

Yes — many P-60s are used in shotcrete operations because: High pressure, Consistent long-stroke flow, S-tube valve suitable for low-slump mixes, and Ability to push through long or complex line setups.

Is manufacturer support still available?

Transcrete remains active and still supports the Trojan line. Buyers should confirm: parts availability, local distributor support, and rebuild kit availability for S-tube and hydraulic systems.
