• Durability and Build Quality: Schwing’s robust construction, including the wear-resistant Rock Valve and heavy-duty hydraulic systems, ensures pumps withstand abrasive concrete mixes and high-pressure demands. This durability translates to reliable performance, even after years of use, making them attractive to buyers in the used market.
• Versatile Performance: Schwing pumps handle diverse applications—from small residential pours to high-rise commercial projects and shotcrete for pools or slope stabilization—appealing to a wide range of contractors. For example, an SP 500’s ability to pump 45 cubic yards/hour with 1.5-inch aggregates retains its appeal across markets.
• Brand Reputation: Schwing is an industry leader, synonymous with reliability and innovation. Buyers trust Schwing pumps for their proven track record, increasing demand in the resale market.
• Low Maintenance Costs: The Rock Valve’s simple design and long-lasting components (e.g., wear plates lasting 500-1000 hours) reduce maintenance costs compared to other valve systems, making used Schwing pumps cost-effective for buyers.

These qualities ensure Schwing pumps, even used models, command strong resale prices, often retaining 50-70% of their original value after 5-10 years, depending on condition and maintenance.How Pernicano’s Enhances Resale ValuePernicano’s Line Pumps, a trusted Schwing dealer in Southern California, goes beyond selling high-quality used pumps by ensuring they retain maximum resale value through meticulous maintenance and transparent practices.

• Rigorous Refurbishment with Genuine Parts: Every used Schwing pump in Pernicano’s inventory undergoes a comprehensive inspection and refurbishment process. Worn components, such as wear plates, cutting rings, piston cups, and hydraulic hoses, are replaced with genuine Schwing OEM parts to restore factory-standard performance. For example, a used SP 1000 is refurbished to deliver its full 65 cubic yards/hour output, ensuring it performs like new for the next owner.
• Detailed Service Records: Pernicano’s provides complete maintenance histories for each used pump, documenting repairs, part replacements, and inspections. These records prove the pump has been maintained with genuine Schwing parts and serviced by Schwing-trained technicians, boosting buyer confidence and resale value. A well-documented SP 500, for instance, can fetch $40,000-$50,000 after 5 years, compared to $30,000 or less for a poorly maintained equivalent.
• Limited Warranties: Pernicano’s used pumps come with 3-6 month warranties on major components, such as the Rock Valve and hydraulic system. This assurance makes their pumps more attractive to buyers, increasing resale prices by 10-20% compared to non-warranted used pumps.
• Reputation for Quality: Pernicano’s is known for its expertise and customer-centric approach, earning trust among contractors in Southern California and beyond. Pumps sold by Pernicano’s carry a reputation for reliability, as buyers know they’ve been rigorously inspected and serviced, further enhancing resale value.
• Preventive Maintenance Plans: Pernicano’s offers tailored maintenance plans to keep pumps in top condition, including regular inspections, fluid changes, and part replacements. Contractors who enroll in these plans maintain their pump’s performance, ensuring higher resale values. For example, an SP 305 enrolled in Pernicano’s quarterly maintenance plan can retain up to 70% of its $40,000 used purchase price after 5 years.
