Elephant Trunk – Flexible, Controlled Discharge for Vertical Concrete Placement
When it comes to placing concrete in deep or hard-to-reach forms, the Gar-Bro elephant trunk offers unmatched flexibility, control, and performance. Built from heavy-duty rubber, this rugged discharge accessory is a must-have tool for directing concrete flow in vertical placements, tremie applications, and congested rebar environments.
Precision Flow in Vertical and Confined Spaces
The elephant trunk is designed to extend the discharge point of your bucket or hopper, allowing for safe, accurate concrete delivery into tall columns, shaft forms, deep foundations, and other vertical applications. Its flexible rubber construction helps absorb flow momentum, preventing splash, rebound, and segregation of the mix.
Whether you’re pouring into a narrow shaft or around heavy reinforcement, the concrete elephant trunk helps you maintain complete control, improving pour quality and minimizing the need for excessive vibration or cleanup.
Compatible With a Wide Range of Concrete Equipment
Gar-Bro’s elephant trunk attaches easily to a variety of concrete equipment, including most Gar-Bro buckets, hoppers, and tremie systems. Available in standard 6-inch and 8-inch diameters, it can be ordered in various lengths to suit your specific placement needs.
It also pairs seamlessly with bucket accessories such as steel collars, adjustable gate controls, and rubber deflector chutes—giving crews the flexibility to adapt their equipment to unique jobsite conditions.
Built for Durability and Jobsite Demands
This concrete equipment is manufactured from industrial-grade rubber designed to endure repeated use in tough environments. Its reinforced ends allow for secure attachment to the discharge gate of your concrete equipment, while the trunk’s rugged walls maintain flexibility without collapsing or tearing under load.
Thanks to its resilient construction, it holds up well to heavy concrete flow, abrasive materials, and fluctuating pour rates—making it a reliable tool in both small-scale jobs and high-volume pours.
