Schwing Announces 2016 Training Schedule

Schwing has announced its 2016 service seminar schedule, offering more choices to appeal to a wider audience of concrete pumping professionals. In addition to Level 2 for mechanics and Level 3 for advanced mechanics, the company will offer an SP school, focusing on the stationary pump line. The seminars are held at Schwing’s dedicated training facility in White Bear, Minnesota, and include multi-media training aids and handson troubleshooting. Students also receive a training manual on CD-ROM, along with a printed copy.

Concrete pump owners, operators and mechanics are advised to sign up soon. “We are reacting to the growing SP market for our smaller pumps by offering this specialized service seminar,” states Glen Grabowski, manager of aftermarket sales and product support. “With business picking up and companies hiring more help, the seminars are more popular than ever.”

These comprehensive seminars can also be conducted at the customer’s location. Costs can be shared if more than one customer participates. Customized training can also be arranged at White Bear, or in the field.
