so far schwing and putz .i like schwings volume and ease of trouble shooting and alot easier to replace wear parts .putz's booms are great,very smooth. when you have a plug a putz crys for help and a schwing mans up. just can't stand the whinning.

I have ran Whitman, Thompson, Schwing, Putz pumps LP, PB, to 63m but my fave manufacturer is Schwing but my favorite pump style is the Putz 5 section 31 pretzel pump. One of the main reasons i like it so much is it keeps you mind thinking.

I love schwings I loved my 58m but I have to go with my 2006 38z 20 cell putz better known as THE BEAST this is one sweet machine, linepump wise I would have to give that putz tk70 the nod what a incredibly versatile machine enough output for 4 inch but smooth enough for 2 " and unbelievably reliable not one issue for 3 years oh I forgot the waterpump on the engine a deutz that was it but it didnt leave me hangin lasted thru the job

Putz, easy and userfriendly. But I love Schwings and miss my Cifa, mad italians...

I look at Schwings and Putz like this, Schwings are like VW beetles parts are cheep and you put oil in them and they keep going and goung. A Putz is like a fine M Benz they have the luxury ride with all the bells and whistles but to work on them is a pain and parts are very expensive.

In all honesty there has been 3.I really liked my 34m (771) and the (39m twin steer 1295) and finally the 52m (611) from bbcp.I guess my fav was the 39m,i really liked it and was easy to keep clean.

My fav was a 1981 1001 28m gate valve Schwing!   The Sermacs we have now are right up there with Schwing and Putzmeister!!!!

I'm with pumperchuck in this. a Putz is there for the operator, A schwing is there for the concrete. It must be getting very nasty will a schwing give up. But most of all a schwing is "talking" to me... never heard a putz doing that. About the length, my fav is a 34 meter pump because of the versatility, hang jobs, line jobs and come to the most narrow places where creativity brings the most suprising solutions.

After thinking about this I really have to change my mind , I am running a putz rite now but after thinking I do believe a Schwing 45m or 47m has gotta be one of the most dependable pumps ever made its operator friendly it will not pump the shit my putz will but it is one amazing machine the overhead roll and fold makes it so versatile sorry putz I gotta go with Schwing.

Hmm looks like a trend putz or shwing !

Ive operated putz sermac and powercrete<--- Aust made anotnelli and coime booms, never operated a shwing , been around them a bit but never grabbed the remote!

Im going to break away from the trend and say powercrete , there simpile very reliable , built like a sherman tank user friendly fairly smooth and most important will pump anything .....

Putz, Schwing, Titan.

 

Favorite line pump was unit #431 with O'brien's. First city pump I ever ran.
