Since 1978, Jacon Equipment has been at the core of Australia’s construction industry. With high-performing concrete pumping, spraying and transportation solutions, Jacon continues to meet the toughest challenges head-on.
Whether paving suburban driveways, reinforcing a high-rise tower or tackling ambitious infrastructure projects, the company’s trailer-mounted and truck‑mounted pumps, alongside its cutting‑edge shotcrete rigs, have cemented a legacy of durability and resilience.
Jacon’s impact stretches beyond its robust machinery. At the heart of the company lies a commitment to forging lasting partnerships with customers.
“We’re not just selling machines; we’re partnering with our customers, delivering tailored solutions that drive long-term value,” says Darryl Simms, product specialist at Jacon Equipment.
“Many customers come to us unsure of what they need. We guide them to the right solutions, helping their projects succeed while saving time, cutting costs and boosting efficiency.”

Versatile workhorses
Jacon’s trailer-mounted and truck-mounted pumps exemplify flexibility, reliability and performance. With decades of engineering expertise, these workhorses adapt seamlessly to diverse construction applications.
The S-Series, for instance, offers trailer‑mounted pumps with capacities ranging from 30 m3/h to Jacon’s flagship stationary pump, which delivers an impressive 100 m3/h. Available in diesel and electric configurations and with mounting options including trailer, skid or track, these pumps meet the unique demands of each job.
For contractors requiring more mobility, Jacon’s truck-mounted options, including the T60 and T100, provide a balance of power and versatility. The T60 delivers a capacity of 60 m3/h, while the T100 equals Jacon’s largest trailer-mounted models with 100 m3/h output.
“Our S-Series pumps are engineered with an ‘S’ valve that handles harsh mixes, low-slump concrete and fluid grout. They’re indispensable for applications ranging from concrete slabs and retaining walls to underground void filling, ground stabilisation and large-scale infrastructure projects,” says Simms.
“Our larger pumps are a mainstay in infrastructure projects across Sydney and Melbourne,” he added, underscoring their critical role in urban development.
Shotcrete solutions shine
When it comes to ground stabilisation and tunnelling, Jacon’s shotcrete rigs are game-changers. Two standout models, the MJ4.5 Midjet and the Maxijet MX3‑MKII, demonstrate the company’s focus on innovation and functionality.
“The Midjet thrives in tight spaces,” says Matt Finn, another product specialist at Jacon Equipment. “Its compact design and AWD skid steering make it ideal for navigating narrow tunnels. Powered by diesel and equipped with a 10-metre vertical reach, it excels in challenging underground environments.”
For heavy-duty operations, the Maxijet MX3-MKII steps up. With a pumping capacity of 30 m3/h, its nozzle technology enables 360-degree rotation and 180-degree tilt for precise shotcrete application. Features like hydrostatic transmission, an enclosed cab and an optional hybrid diesel/electric design further enhance its versatility.
“These machines are essential for securing slopes, reinforcing tunnel walls and stabilising construction ramps,” says Finn. “They prevent collapses, creating safer environments for workers and equipment.”
To ensure accurate application, Jacon equips its rigs with pre- and post-scan (PPS) systems that measure shotcrete thickness. By aligning with Tier 4 emission standards, these rigs also contribute to a more sustainable construction landscape – particularly important given Australia’s evolving environmental regulations.
Support that never sleeps
Jacon’s commitment to quality extends to every aspect of its operations, ensuring customers receive support long after delivery. Each unit is manufactured in a state-of‑the-art facility in Vietnam, designed with standardised components that simplify maintenance and reduce downtime.
“Breakdowns are inevitable in this industry, but our machines are built to minimise their impact,” says Finn. “Clear schematics, accessible parts and interchangeable components ensure repairs are straightforward, keeping projects moving.”
The company also offers 24/7 breakdown support through offices in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth, complete with fully stocked parts inventories. Jacon’s training programs, including annual refresher courses, empower customers with both theoretical and practical expertise.
Innovation with purpose
As the industry evolves, so does Jacon. The company is refining hybrid systems to reduce emissions while incorporating user-friendly, ergonomic features across its product line.
“Our customers value the balance of usability, durability and value in our machines,” says Simms. “While our standard pumps are robust and versatile, we also offer customised upgrades for specialised applications, ensuring every solution is tailor-made to meet specific project requirements.”
Central to Jacon’s ongoing success is its consultative approach. By understanding client needs, the company delivers machines engineered not just for performance but for making a tangible impact on every project they support.
