WORLD OF CONCRETE/TOP 10 CONCRETE CONTRACTORS
OUR RENTAL PUMPS LLC:
Woman-operated business provides safe,
specialized and local concrete pumping
service in NYC and Tri-State region
New York Construction Report special feature
A certified woman-owned busi-
ness by both New York City and
New York State, Our Rental Pumps
LLC has grown since 2011, focusing
on high standards, a true under-
standing of the industry and client
needs, and an understanding that no
project is too complex.
President Samantha Ruttura says
the company’s fleet has expanded
to include 10 concrete pumps, a
telebelt and the business recently
became a dealer for Magni Tele-
scope Handlers on Long Island.
“We offer various Magni models
in our rental fleet and have the abil-
ity to sell them under our New York
State and New York City WBE certifi-
cation, which is a huge asset to all
of our customers and future cus-
tomers,” she said.
Ruttura says the company looks
forward to 2018 and the role it will
be able to play in the city’s expan-
sion and evolution, particularly with
bridges, MTA (Metropolitan Trans-
portation Authority), and large com-
mercial work. “It’s our job to keep
up with the growth and continue to
provide our customers the best
service and most updated fleet to
ensure their projects run smoothly.”
The lean company has four com-
petent staff maintaining the office
and shop. “We provide trained, ca-
pable and American Concrete Pump-
ing Association (ACPA) Safety
certified operators to run the equip-
ment but they work directly for our
customers. Because of our strong
relationship with our customers they
trust we are providing the best oper-
ators and employ them for their proj-
ects.” Ruttura says though her company
is relatively young, at least com-
pared to the 100-year-old company
her father owns and operates, that

is the model she strives to follow. “I
look at his workforce and it covers
multiple generations of families and
men that have been there for 40
plus years. I hope my company will
have the same ability to keep men
and women working for their entire
careers.” Focused on projects in the New
York Tri-State Area, Our Rental
Pumps works largely with commer-
cial contractors working on civil proj-
ects including bridges, MTA work,
stadiums, and other large scale proj-
ects. The company recently placed
concrete for the base of One Van-
derbilt. “We are proud to have been
a part of the largest continuous pour
in midtown Manhattan.”
As a locally owned company, Rut-
tura says personal communication,
reliability and a focus on ensuring
the customer’s best interests are
key. She says as part of ensuring
each job runs smoothly and safely,
Our Rental Pumps’ sales manager
visits each site to ensure the right
equipment is provided for the spe-
cific job. “Often in the city there are
space limitations which can affect
what size pump that can be used. It
is our job to ensure the customer
gets the correct equipment for any
given job.”
Another key focus is safety,
which Our Rental Pumps ensures by
requiring all operators to go through
the ACPA’s safety program and be
up to date on all ACPA Safety certifi-
cations. She says in the six years the com-
pany has been in business it has
maintained and grown its operator
base, training and ensuring their ca-
pability along the way.
“Our ACPA safety certified opera-
tors are skilled at what they do. As a
team we are always looking out for
the well being of everyone working
on and near our equipment,” she
says. This gives our customers con-
fidence when working with Our
Rental Pumps.
Concrete pumps and telebelts are
also inspected according to the
manufacturer’s requirements. “This
is not required by law but we strive
to maintain our fleet to the highest
safety standards so we make these
inspections a priority.”
Ruttura says active ACPA mem-
bership, attending conventions and
educational sessions, enhance
safety and awareness when placing
concrete. “As a small, family type
business we want to ensure the
safety of our staff and our extended
family of clients.”
Our Rental Pumps also provides
service and parts from top name
brands. For more information, visit
