Portuguese term or phrase: Auto-bomba
Probably the best is to give a picture or two:

http://images.google.co.uk/images?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls...

The actual sentence is rather sparse: "- Auto-bomba efectiva, com lança adequada" under the heading "Equipamento"

It seems to be some sort of concrete pump on a lorry. Any ideas as to the proper term?

I'm finding hits for autobomba de betao (excuse lack of accent).

Asker: I'm pretty sure we are not talking about a fire engine here - more a concrete pouring pump on a lorry. Fire engine immediately came to mind for me - but then I re3alised that that was Spanish :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: I did a small small stint working in construction years ago and it is definitely concrete that they pour not cement. (Sand and) Cement is more for rendering and bricklaying. Also in the context of the document they are pouring into shuttering to build a reinforced concrete structure.
