New & Used Pumping Units for Sale in the Permian Basin

What We Sell
Units Ready to Set — New or Rebuilt Like New
We’ve been selling pumping units on the I-20 in Midland since 1985. Most operators come to us for used and refurbished units — the same dependable iron at a fraction of new-unit cost — but we sell new when that’s the right call too. Tell us what you’re pumping and where, and we’ll point you to the unit that fits.
Every used unit we sell has been through our shop, not just parked in the yard. That’s the difference between buying a unit and buying a problem.
The Refurbishment Difference
We Buy Down Units and Rebuild Them Like New
Plenty of outfits will sell you a used unit as-is and wish you luck. We don’t work that way. We buy down units — even cratered ones — and rebuild them in our own shop: bearings pressed, parts machined to spec on our HAAS centers, repainted, and set right before it ever leaves the yard. Because we carry the largest pump jack parts inventory in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, the parts your rebuild needs are already on the shelf. That’s how a forty-year-old unit leaves here pumping like a new one. And we stand behind it: every rebuilt unit we sell carries a one-year warranty.

FAQ
Pumping Unit Sales — Common Questions
Do you sell new or used pumping units?
Both — though most operators choose our refurbished used units, rebuilt in-house to like-new condition.
What brands do you carry?
Conventional, Lufkin Mark, American, Weatherford, and Shores — plus import units (Sentry and Permian) and low-profile units.
Do you deliver and set the unit?
Yes. We run our own haul trucks and crane crews, so we deliver and set units throughout our service area — roughly a 100–150 mile radius.
Do you buy used units?
Yes — running or down. Call with what you have and we’ll make you an offer.
How fast can I get a unit?
Depends on the shape the unit’s in, but usually we can get you a completely refurbished unit in about a week.
Do you warranty rebuilt units?
Yes — one year. The bigger the unit, the more the warranty costs, but every rebuilt unit we sell carries one.
