Description

Gar-Bro Concrete Elephant Trunks – Flexible Control for Vertical Placement

Precision Flow in Tight and Vertical Spaces

The Gar-Bro concrete elephant trunk is engineered to provide contractors with reliable control when placing concrete in tall, narrow, or congested areas. Built from heavy-duty rubber, it extends the discharge point of a bucket or hopper, guiding material exactly where it’s needed. Whether managing a tremie pour, filling deep foundations, or working around heavy reinforcement, the concrete elephant trunk ensures accuracy and minimizes rebound or segregation.

Designed for Clean, Controlled Placement

With its flexible design, the concrete elephant trunk absorbs momentum from flowing material, reducing splash and preventing waste. Contractors appreciate how this accessory helps maintain consistent flow into forms, columns, or shafts without over-spillage. When paired with a tremie system, it allows crews to achieve greater precision and efficiency, improving overall pour quality while reducing cleanup requirements.

Seamless Integration with Concrete Equipment

The concrete elephant trunk attaches quickly to most Gar-Bro buckets, hoppers, and other concrete equipment. Available in standard 6-inch and 8-inch diameters, it can be customized in various lengths to match project needs. It also integrates easily with complementary bucket accessories like steel collars, adjustable gates, or deflector chutes. This compatibility makes it a versatile tool for adapting to different jobsites and specialized placements.

Built Tough for Demanding Jobsites

Manufactured from industrial-grade rubber, the concrete elephant trunk withstands repeated use in rugged environments. Reinforced ends provide secure connections to discharge gates, while the flexible body maintains durability without collapsing under heavy flow. Its construction holds up to abrasive mixes and varying pour rates, making it dependable for both small-scale projects and high-volume operations.
