Posted On: 24/04/2025 | Posted by: Haomei Concrete Pumps

Comprehensive comparison

1. Price and cost structure

The price range of new equipment is relatively wide. Taking mainstream brands as an example, the new price of Haomei Machinery's 38m concrete pump is about US$130,000. The price of second-hand equipment is significantly affected by factors such as brand, vehicle age, and boom length.

It should be noted that the hidden costs of second-hand equipment may include:

Maintenance costs: Old parts (such as hydraulic systems and boom structures) have a high failure rate, and the average annual maintenance cost may be 30%-50% higher than that of new equipment.

Energy consumption cost: New equipment generally adopts energy-saving technology. The fuel consumption of Haomei's 37m pump truck is 15% lower than that of similar products, saving more than 20,000 RMB in fuel costs per year.

2. Technology and performance

Intelligent upgrade: In 2025, mainstream new equipment will be equipped with a number of black technologies, such as lightweight boom vibration control technology (end amplitude <±200mm) and carbon fiber boom (lifespan of more than 20 years).

Environmental compliance: The EU CE certification requires pump trucks to comply with the 2006/42/EC Machinery Directive. Domestic environmental regulations are becoming stricter, and second-hand equipment may be restricted due to substandard emissions.

Construction efficiency: The pumping efficiency of new equipment has been significantly improved. For example, the new pump truck can pump up to 180 cubic meters per hour, while old second-hand equipment may only be 100-120 cubic meters.

3. Warranty and service

New equipment: Brands such as Haomei provide 5-year warranty for structural parts, 2-year warranty for key components, and lifetime free labor technical support.

Used equipment: There is usually no original factory warranty, relying on third-party repairs. Some dealers provide 3-6 months limited warranty, and the supply of accessories may be limited.

How to choose more suitable equipment?

1. Short-term projects (1-2 years)

Recommended second-hand equipment:

Scenario: township infrastructure, temporary construction sites, low-intensity construction.

Advantages: low initial investment and quick return on investment.

Risks: need to strictly check the fatigue of the boom and the sealing of the hydraulic system. It is recommended to choose equipment with a vehicle age of less than 5 years and less than 5,000 hours.

2. Long-term projects (more than 3 years)

Recommended new equipment:

Scenario: high-rise buildings, large infrastructure, overseas projects.

Advantages:

Cost optimization: the comprehensive fuel consumption of new pump trucks is reduced by 15%, the life of wearing parts is increased by 30%, and the cost advantage of the whole life cycle is obvious.

Compliance guarantee: meet the latest environmental protection standards and avoid policy risks (such as EU emission regulations). Welcome to inquire the new concrete pump truck price from Haomei Machinery directly.
