Different ways of overhauling

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 help you chose between the different ways of overhauling.

We like to assist our customers with making the right decision during this process! In a series of 4 posts on social media, we showed the possibilities that deliver the desired result for the customer. We also described the possibilities of how we offer a used SiteTec unit to the occasion market. (1. As is 2. Complete rebuilt 3. Technical check and service)
When you have missed the posts, not to worry, we have placed them again below.

Our units last for many years because of our way of building. After intensive use, overhauling is the perfect solution! This ensures that the unit can contribute to many successful drilling meters again. A unit can be overhauled according to factory standard in different levels. From just replacing pipework, reconditioning the pump to fully sandblasting and repainting the unit. Anything a customer wants is possible. The unit is first fully tested upon entry. In a test document we issue our advice and quotation. After agreement with the customer, we can get started! The photos below show the overhauling of a P2500D with 10.000 operating hours on the clock from Van Vulpen B.V. This unit has been completely disassembled, all wear parts and pipework have been replaced and the diesel engine has been serviced by a Cummins dealer. Before we start assembling with new components, the unit is completely sandblasted, sprayed and insulated again. It has been extensively tested under load and then delivered to van Vulpen. This unit is guaranteed to run for thousands or more hours again!

We know our own units the best! From the way of building to the used materials. This is why we are happy to repurchase our own units when they are available. As soon as a unit arrives at our workshop, it is first fully tested.

Our units are built to last! Sometimes a unit exchanges owner a couple of times, before it comes back to us. Like this P1400D, built in 2008. The previous owners took good care of this unit; regular maintenance and on time replacement of wear parts. Therefor we rated after a testrun under load, that this unit was in a good condition. So no need for overhauling, just testing a high quality built unit and confirming it is still good to run for many more hours! We found a customer abroad who was in need for a used unit.
