• Has the pump been regularly serviced, with records of maintenance and repairs?
• Were genuine Schwing parts used for replacements (e.g., wear plates, piston cups)?
• When was the last major overhaul, and what components were replaced?

Pernicano’s Assurance: Pernicano’s provides a detailed service history for every used Schwing pump in their inventory. Each pump undergoes a comprehensive inspection, with worn components like wear plates, seals, and hoses replaced using genuine Schwing parts. For example, a used SP 500 from Pernicano’s comes with documentation of recent Rock Valve rebuilds and hydraulic system checks, ensuring transparency and confidence in the pump’s condition.2. What Is the Pump’s Operating Condition and Performance?Why It Matters: The pump’s current condition determines its ability to handle your projects, whether small residential pours or high-pressure commercial jobs. Key metrics like output (cubic yards/hour), pressure (psi), and aggregate capacity (up to 1.5 inches for Schwing’s Rock Valve) must match your needs.What to Ask:

• What is the pump’s output and pressure capacity, and has it been tested recently?
• Are there any known issues, such as pressure loss or blockages?
• Has the pump been refurbished to meet Schwing’s factory standards?

Pernicano’s Assurance: Pernicano’s refurbishes used Schwing pumps to like-new condition, testing output and pressure to ensure they meet specifications (e.g., 45 cubic yards/hour for the SP 500, 95 cubic yards/hour for the SP 2800). Their technicians verify the Rock Valve’s performance and hydraulic system integrity, providing a performance report with each sale. This ensures the pump is ready for tasks like shotcrete or high-rise pours, with no hidden issues.3. What Warranty or Support Options Are Available?Why It Matters: A warranty provides peace of mind, protecting against unexpected repair costs. Support options, like access to parts or technician services, are critical for maintaining uptime, especially on tight project schedules.What to Ask:

• Does the pump come with a warranty, and what does it cover (e.g., parts, labor, duration)?
• Are genuine Schwing parts readily available for future repairs?
• What support services (e.g., on-site repairs, consultations) are offered post-purchase?

Pernicano’s Assurance: Pernicano’s offers limited warranties on used Schwing pumps, typically 3-6 months on major components like the Rock Valve and hydraulic system, providing protection against defects. Their comprehensive inventory of genuine Schwing parts ensures quick access to replacements, and their 24/7 support line connects you with Schwing-trained technicians for rapid repairs or consultations. This robust support minimizes downtime, whether you’re pouring a residential slab or a commercial foundation.4. Does the Pump Suit Your Project Requirements?Why It Matters: Different projects require different pump capabilities. A compact SP 305 is ideal for tight residential spaces, while an SP 2800 excels in high-rise or infrastructure projects. Ensuring the pump matches your needs prevents performance issues or overspending.What to Ask:

• What is the pump’s output, pressure, and reach (horizontal and vertical)?
• Can it handle your typical concrete mixes (e.g., slump, aggregate size)?
• Is the pump’s size and configuration (trailer- or truck-mounted) suitable for your job sites?

Pernicano’s Assurance: Pernicano’s transparent sales process includes personalized consultations to match the pump to your needs. Their team assesses your project requirements—site constraints, pour volumes, and mix types—and recommends models like the SP 500 for medium commercial jobs or the SP 1000 for high-volume pours. For example, a contractor needing a pump for urban residential sites might be guided to a refurbished SP 305, with specs verified to handle 30 cubic yards/hour and 1.5-inch aggregates.5. What Is the Total Cost of Ownership?Why It Matters: Beyond the purchase price, consider ongoing costs like maintenance, fuel, and repairs. A used Schwing pump can save 30-50% compared to a new model, but ensuring it’s in good condition prevents unexpected expenses.What to Ask:

• What is the pump’s purchase price, and are there financing options?
• What are the expected maintenance costs (e.g., part replacements, servicing)?
• Is the pump fuel-efficient, and are spare parts affordable and accessible?

Pernicano’s Assurance: Pernicano’s offers competitive pricing on used Schwing pumps, often $50,000-$100,000 for models like the SP 500 or SP 1000, compared to $120,000+ for new units. Their transparent pricing includes no hidden fees, and financing options make high-quality pumps accessible to small contractors. Pernicano’s maintenance plans and genuine parts inventory keep ownership costs low, with routine services (e.g., $500-$2000 for Rock Valve rebuilds) preventing major repairs. Their fuel-efficient Schwing models and readily available parts further reduce long-term expenses.Customer Testimonial: Jose Morales, Morales Construction Co.“Buying a used Schwing SP 500 from Pernicano’s was a game-changer for Morales Construction.
