Concrete Pump Repair Offers Free Fleet Evaluations

Concrete pump and truck mixer fleet owners can now receive free evaluations from Concrete Pump Repair (CPR), a Schwing company. CPR brings more than 20 years’ experience to the process of analyzing used equipment, reconditioning viable concrete pumps and appraising trade-ins. This evaluation of capital goods can be valuable for tax planning, cash flow and preparing for future growth. An easy to complete form is available online at http:// schwing.com/pre-owned and can be filled out in minutes to begin the evaluation process.

“This is an objective look at an individual pump or concrete pumping fleet to determine how these capital assets can be managed more effectively,” states Jerry Anderson, CPR general manager. CPR’s evaluation may recommend trading up, repairing, retrucking or refurbishing to achieve higher utilization. “This could include trading a used pump for a pre-owned pump in our inventory or selling a couple of lower usage pumps to acquire a new or used boom size to better fit the needs of a local market,” Anderson adds.

The company requests an inventory of a pump owner’s fleet on the online form, and if necessary, a site visit by a CPR or Schwing representative can be arranged. Fleet owners are encouraged to act quickly to take advantage of year-end tax savings and to ensure availability of pre-owned or new pumps and truck mixers. Complete the form online to request an evaluation of individual boom pumps, separate placing booms, stationary pumps, truck mixers or complete fleet planning, regardless of the brand of the equipment.

An experienced tax advisor should be consulted to evaluate your equipment’s specific tax situation.
