True or False: When the concrete truck chutes won't reach the forms, the concrete supplier must approve adding more chutes supported off the truck.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Applicable
• D. Only With Additional Cost

Answer: (A)

When the truck chute can’t reach the forms, extending the delivery setup with additional chutes supported off the truck is treated as a modification that must be approved by the supplier. The supplier controls the design, weight limits, and safe operating conditions of their chute system, including any extensions or extra chutes. Their approval ensures the added hardware won’t compromise stability, cause misalignment or leaks, or affect the concrete’s flow and placement, and it keeps the delivery within the configurations that their equipment and warranties are designed to support. While cost may be a consideration, the key requirement is to obtain supplier approval to maintain safety and equipment integrity.
