I want to buy my first pump truck.looking at a 2000 mack with a 2000 cifa pump with 1450 hours 271,000 on truck.price around 160,000. what do you think?

Sent you a private message as I dont want to talk bad about various pump brands . Check your mail for my humble opinion

  The Mack and Cifa are fine but 1450 hrs. on a 2000 truck seems low.The first thing I would do is purge some hydraulic oil out of the tank and look at the color of it,naturally you want it clear.While looking at the condition of the boom,was it well greased,take the cover off the water box,make sure the engine is shut off,and feel for scratches on the main cylinder rods and material cans.Ask the seller for a log book of maintenance and repairs of the pump.Also go on a job and see the pump perform,if possible.Ask the seller why they are selling this particular truck.Dont get in a big rush because there is alot of good used units for sale.

This truck is being sold by xxxxxxx.The man sold the truck new ,took in on trade,sold it again,took it in on trade again.I would be the third owner.Just really don\'t know what to look for.

Is this the pump, says it is for sale for 156,000 on UsedConcretepumps.com

Have you checked UsedConcretePumps.com fred has over 500 used pumps right now and great deals also. Fred takes some of the lowest commissions in the history of selling pumps and moves pumps all over the world.

If that is the 36 meter that I know about , that is a very good deal,  little things like the machince has been run with and serviced every 300 hours with synthetic oils, shows that the owner is a person who spent the extra $$$ to keep it in good working order.  You can\'t go wrong for that price the CIFA is a very good dependable machine, folks who don\'t know about them (CIFA\'S) always seem to comment about them. For the facts contact Bob Miller @ CIFA USA Inc. 877-243-2345 and he can probally give you the complete history on the unit .
