Bucking units are a vital tool in the oil and gas industry for securing drill pipe and casing while making the connections needed to drill. When ordering a bucking unit for sale, there are a few critical questions you should ask to ensure you get the right product for your needs. Here are a few key questions to consider.

What size bucking unit do I need?

The size of your bucking unit will depend on the size of the pipe you are working with. Make sure to double-check the specifications for the pipe and use those numbers to determine the size of the bucking unit you need. Also, consider the length of the pipe. Longer pipes may require a larger bucking unit than shorter pipes.

Is there a warranty?

A warranty is an essential aspect of any machinery purchase. Make sure to ask about the warranty when placing your order for a bucking unit. You want to ensure that you are protected against defects and malfunctions for a specified period. A warranty will also show the confidence that the manufacturer has in their product.

What level of automation is available?

There are different levels of automation available for bucking units. Some models have more automation than others, which may affect the price. Determine how much automation you need and how much you are willing to pay for it.

The production rate of the bucking unit is a crucial factor to consider when ordering a bucking unit. Production rates vary depending on the model and the manufacturer. Be sure to ask for the production rates of each model you are considering to make an informed decision.

What is the delivery time?

Delivery time is essential when ordering a bucking unit. You want to know that the product will be delivered within the timeframe you need it. Be sure to ask about the delivery time during the ordering process.

What is the price of the bucking unit?

The price of the bucking unit is an essential factor to consider. While it is vital to choose a product that meets your needs, it is also important to stay within budget.

Every contractor has to buy new equipment, whether because the units he owns don’t fit anymore or because new projects require additional foundation machines. Buying a piling or drilling rig means a serious impact on your budget, though so many comparisons have to be completed  in order to purchase the right equipment. We have listed some aspects worth considering below.

What’s the purpose of the job?

The most important question to be answered is what type of machine is needed. What is the main purpose of the rig you would like to add to your fleet? Depending on these variables, a short list of rigs can be made and more research can be conducted before you make your final decision on purchases. To this end, an exploratory meeting with a sales engineer can be very useful when considering buying new equipment.

What’s your budget?

Although acquiring new foundation equipment means a serious investment, we’d recommend that you look further than the lowest price. Is a brand new machine a must, or do you want to add an overhauled used machine to your fleet? Remember, too, that the purchase price of a rig is not the only cost you have to deal with. Bear in mind the quality of the machine and the condition. In the case of an overhauled machine, remember to check the number of running hours, where the rig is coming from, and what application it was doing – so that you can estimate upcoming service costs.  

What service level do you expect?

After you’ve purchased your rig, the expenditures do not stop. After a certain period of time, parts need to be replaced and maintenance has to be planned. Before you buy foundation equipment, have a look at the price and service level of these aspects and try to forecast the future expenses. It’s also relevant to find out the proximity of a service location and the quality of the first line support, as well as service and repair costs.

What do you expect when the rig is delivered?

A new rig means new features and options. Next to a user manual, we’d recommend that you make sure to have full support on determining how things work upon delivery of the rig. Try to include in your contract some familiarization time for your operator so he gets the best information first hand, and so that he can use the equipment to its full potential.

Of course, there are many other aspects to take into account when buying a new rig. For example, transport regulations, parts availability, and payment structures.
