If you’re looking for a used concrete pump, there are a few things you should consider before buying one. Think thoroughly, and plan carefully which concrete pumps you should choose.
What other factors should you consider before you buy a used concrete pump? Let us identify them one-by-one.
1. Determine What “Concrete Pump” You Want
As you can see, there are three types of concrete pump available in Singapore. So before going to any supplier, you should first think, and ask yourself, what concrete pump do you want and need, if you are having trouble, use the checklist below:
- Brand — Most popular brand here is Sany, and its spare parts are available across the country.
- Type
1. Truck-mounted pump
2. Trailer/line pump
3. Stationary pump - Ground Line
- Cost
Calculate Your Budget
Just like with cars, you should calculate how much you are willing to spend, because, in Singapore, most concrete pumps would cost around a hundred to thousands of dollars.
Research the Manufacturers or Sellers Reputation
Once you’ve determined what used concrete pump you need, shortlisted which manufacturers or sellers you should trust. Do a background check of their reputation, so you will know if they have the right qualification or licensed to sell new or used concrete pumps.
Read Customers Testimonials
Reading the customers testimonials is like learning how their experience goes, are they happy with concrete pumps they bought or are they dissatisfied with the supplier's customer service.
Take It for a Spin
Most of all, ask the supplier if you can take the used concrete pump for a spin for at least a few minutes. This way, you’ll know it is still in good condition, and it is worth buying.
Take note of these tips when buying a used concrete pump, but if you are struggling to buy it, why not consider getting a concrete pump rental.
