Overhauling van Vulpen’s MP500DH
Due to our way of building, our units last for many years! Maintenance, intensive use and weather conditions affect the life span of the units. When a unit is at the end of its career, the customer is faced with a choice; to purchase a new unit, to overhaul the used unit or to technically check and service the used unit?
We have overhauled several units for our customer van Vulpen. The last project was the Mixing Pumping unit MP500DH from 2011. Through a complete overhauling, we have ensured that it is reliable, safe and trouble free and can last for 8000 hours! The costs are about 1/3 of the new price, which makes it a good investment for our customers.
Read below how this unit came in to our workshop and how we got it back on the road radiantly.
Before we make a quotation to the customer, we perform a thorough inspection of all components, test running under full load is part of this. The conclusion of the inspection form the basis for the quotation. After approval of our customer we got started:
