hey guys,

just like to read some peoples thoughts about zoomlion cifa pumps , are they up there with all the big guns? what about the new latest one its a K39 carbotec basically a 39m with the last 2 stages out of carbon fibre so it can easily sit on a 3 axle truck,

does anyone know if they run proxitmy switches for there changeovers etc.

we had one where I used to work a43-5 their ok just a bit of refining needed but that was a zoomlion

Give the guys at Irving Equipment in Ohio a call. Steve is on this site a lot under CHEZPUMP.

Mark Irving and Joe Irving can help also. Great people and will have answers to CIFA stuff for you. You can go on their site also for more.

yeah, i met steve before i think. He came to our shop taking pictures of a 90s 32 meter that a customer of ours was getting repaired while i was working on our tb-130. Good Guy

Have you seen this Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-IFVrztR10

WOW just saw that video it took me 4 hours to change my cups

I think schwing cups are super easy to replace. Those ones shown in the video look like they are a pain how you have to line everything up for the bolts to go into place

what about this carbon fibre boom ,is it a strong as steel?   cracks???

Pumpon, Just noticed yr post and thought I'd throw in my two bobs worth. Saw the Cifa's at Bauma but their did not seem to be any overall weight saving compared to the latest design comparative pumps from Putz and Schwing. Dont know if you have looked at the new 38-5 from Putz but it was mighty impressive.  It seems all the other manufacturers have stayed away from carbon fibre possibly because you cannot repair it if it gets damaged.  It might be hi tek but real expensive if you have to buy a new arm compared to a repair.  Anyway, just my thoughts, so good luck with your search.
