The Putzmeister pumps are said to be the largest in the world. Each weighs 190-thousand pounds, and their booms can rise to 227-feet. That’s bigger than any of the booms being used at the Japan site now.

The plan is to load both of them onto airplanes — one at Los Angeles International Airport and the other at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport — for April 9 flights to Japan. The dates are tentative, and some logistics must still be worked out.
"We're trying to get the permits necessary to move them over the state of Georgia roads to Atlanta," Ashmore said.
They are to be flown to Japan in two Russian Antonov AN-225 Mriya Super Heavy Transport planes, the world's largest aircraft, Blickle said. The planes were designed to transport the Russian Space Shuttle, she said.
