CIFA Acquisition Follow-up
As a clarification and amplification to last month's newsletter, in which we reported the Zoomlion acquisition of CIFA, we've been in contact with Matteo Rolla, President & CEO of CIFA USA who let us know that the deal has yet to be finalized. He asked that we share the following message:
You may have read or learned of the recent transaction with Zoomlion and
CIFA in public business press releases. It is our full intent to provide
all with full knowledge once we at CIFA USA, Inc. have the complete details
and facts from our parent company CIFA spa.
We are very excited about this recent news and look forward to our continued
commitment to providing our customers and future customers with the best
concrete equipment products available.
Best Regards,
Matteo Rolla
President & CEO
CIFA USA, Inc.
Fix Or Replace?
We came across an article by Reed Construction Data and thought it might be of value to you, our concrete pumping readers. In it they discuss some considerations when "choosing between an overhauled or remanufactured engine."
Compared to other construction machinery, they point out that it's nearly impossible to cost-effectively move the pump to a new chassis:
"Less frequent, but still common in construction operations, are trucks where there's a high level of integration between the body/equipment and the truck chassis, such as a concrete pumper, that makes it difficult, if not impossible, to cost-effectively move the body/equipment to a new chassis. In these instances, multiple engine overhauls/replacements — and even cab replacements — might take place before the body/equipment reaches the end of its useful life."
Though much of this is probably common sense to the average pumper, the article's definitely work a look.
