Concrete pump servicing, engine to pump end.

Shaw Diesels services, repairs and repowers the diesel engines that drive concrete pumps; and the hydraulic and pumping systems those engines drive.

A concrete pump is two machines working as one. A diesel engine drives a hydraulic system, and that hydraulic system drives the cylinders pushing concrete down the line. When either half is down, the pump doesn’t pour. Don’t end up chasing two different specialists to work out which half is at fault.

 

Shaw Diesels works on both. Our engineers service and rebuild the diesel engine, work through the hydraulic circuit, and replace worn components in the pumping end. Where an engine is worn out, obsolete or no longer worth rebuilding, we can repower the machine supplying and fitting a new engine to the existing pump.

Two machines, one call.

The engine and the pump end fail in different ways. We cover both.The engine and the pump end fail in different ways. We cover both.

Most diesel workshops will service the engine and stop at the bellhousing. Most pump suppliers will sell you wear parts but won’t touch the engine. That split leaves the operator managing two suppliers, two diagnostic visits and two invoices for one machine that still isn’t pouring.

 

Shaw Diesels has been rebuilding diesel engines and building pump sets since 1988, and our workshops in Auckland and Christchurch handle both sides of a concrete pump: the engine and its ancillaries, and the hydraulic and material end it drives. One assessment, one job, one point of accountability.

What we work on.

If it pumps concrete and a diesel engine drives it, we can help.

Whatever the make of the pump: Putzmeister, Schwing, CIFA, Mayco, Jacon and Olin machines all work in New Zealand, and we work across them.

 

  • Trailer and line pumps —towable and skid-mounted units with their own dedicated diesel engine, such as the Jacon S30, S45 and S63, used for slabs, foundations, blockfill and difficult-access pours
  • Truck-mounted line pumps — deck-mounted pumping units and the auxiliary engines that drive them
  • Boom pumps — the pumping unit, hydraulics and any auxiliary engine on a truck-mounted placing boom
  • Static pumps and placing booms — fixed pump sets feeding separate placing booms on high-rise and civil projects
  • Shotcrete and sprayed concrete rigs — underground mining and tunnelling machines such as the Jacon Maxijet and Midjet, plus sprayed concrete for slope stabilisation and ground works
  • Precast yards and batching plants — pumping and grout equipment in fixed production environments

When the pump stops, the pour stops.

A concrete pump breakdown is never just a broken machine.

There is a crew standing on site, trucks queued at the gate, a batching plant holding a slot, and concrete already in the line that will go hard if it isn’t cleared. An hour lost is measured against the whole pour, not against the repair.

That is why our team is on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We can talk your operator through a diagnosis over the phone, get a mobile engineer to site, or take the machine into our Auckland or Christchurch workshops, whatever gets you pumping again fastest. Shaw Diesels also holds SiteWise Gold certification, so our engineers can work on construction sites without messing up your compliance.

Odds are, it’s a DEUTZ.

DEUTZ engines have powered trailer and stationary concrete pumps for decades. Shaw Diesels is New Zealand’s most awarded DEUTZ dealer.

Jacon trailer pumps are the concrete pumps we see most often, and they run DEUTZ: the Jacon S30 and S63 on the four-cylinder BF4L2011, and the Jacon S45 on the air-cooled BF4L914. Mayco’s LS series is DEUTZ-powered too. The LS400 runs a 57 kW BF4L2011 turbo diesel and the LS300 a TD2009L04. Putzmeister’s BSA trailer and stationary pumps have long been DEUTZ, from the 55 kW BSA 1005 through to the 140 kW six-cylinder BSA 1409, and Schwing’s SP and BPA stationary pumps have used DEUTZ including the four-cylinder BF4M2012.

 

The BF4L2011 in a Jacon S30, S63 or Mayco LS400 is an oil-cooled engine from the DEUTZ 2011 series, and the BF4L914 in a Jacon S45 is from the air-cooled 914 family. These are precisely the engines Shaw Diesels still carries parts for, still rebuilds, and can supply as DEUTZ Xchange units.

 

Shaw Diesels has been New Zealand’s authorised DEUTZ dealer since 2001, and DEUTZ New Zealand Dealer of the Year every year from 2016 to 2024. On a DEUTZ-powered pump that means factory parts, factory technical support and factory-remanufactured components — from the dealer, rather than from a workshop working it out as it goes.

 

  • Genuine DEUTZ parts — Shaw Diesels hold parts in both our Auckland and Christchurch workshops, if we don’t have it we’ll get it
  • Legacy series support — Shaw Diesels fix the older air-cooled and oil-cooled DEUTZ engines still working in pumps around the country
  • DEUTZ Xchange — factory-remanufactured engines and components, exchanged rather than rebuilt
  • Factory backing — DEUTZ dealer diagnostics and technical support behind every job

Shaw diesels pump repairs

Engine repairs, rebuilds and repowers.

Servicing, overhaul, or a complete new engine when a rebuild no longer stacks up.

Concrete pump engines work hard under sustained loads, dust and demanding conditions — putting extra strain on injectors, cooling systems and oil, and bringing engines to overhaul sooner.

 

Shaw Diesels services and rebuilds diesel engines of all makes — the work the business was founded on. As a distributor for Isuzu Power Solutions and Lister Petter as well as DEUTZ, we can also supply and fit replacement engines.

 

  • Scheduled servicing — oil, filters, injectors, fuel and cooling systems
  • Diagnostics — fault-finding and performance issues
  • Full rebuilds — stripped, machined, rebuilt and warranted
  • DEUTZ Xchange — factory-remanufactured engines and components
  • Repowers — new engines matched and fitted to existing machines
  • Adaptation and fabrication — mounts, couplings, exhaust, cooling, fuel tanks and wiring
Engine Repairs & Servicing

Pump-end and hydraulic service.

Concrete is abrasive, and wear at the pumping end gradually reduces output and pressure while increasing the risk of blockages and downtime.

  • Wear parts — plates, rings, valves, cylinders, pistons and seals
  • Hopper and agitator — repairs, shafts, bearings and seals
  • Hydraulics circuit — pumps, cylinders, valves, filtration and oil cooling
  • Hoses and pipework — hoses, delivery lines, elbows, reducers and clamps
  • Controls — remote systems, panels and safety interlocks
  • Pressure and output testing — confirming performance before returning to site

 

If specialist overhaul or replacement is needed, we manage it as part of the job.

Planned servicing and 24/7 support.

Maintenance scheduled around your pour calendar, not ours.

Shaw Diesels plans servicing around your equipment and workload, helping schedule maintenance and wear-part changes when your machines are already standing.

 

  • Service contracts — scheduled maintenance with agreed intervals and reporting
  • Fleet servicing — coordinated servicing across multiple pumps
  • On-site service — mobile engineers to your yard or site
  • Workshop service — facilities in Auckland and Christchurch
  • 24/7 breakdown response — support at any hour, any day
  • Parts supply — genuine engine parts stocked or sourced direct
Service Contracts
