Beam Pumping Units for Sale in Midland, TX
The pump jack you see across the Permian is a beam pumping unit, and we’ve been selling them on the I-20 in Midland since 1985. Over 600 units in our yards — conventional, Lufkin Mark, American, Weatherford, Shores, Sentry, Permian and low-profile — ready to set.
Call and tell us what you’re pumping. We’ll tell you what we’ve got.
The Basics
From the Gearbox to the Horsehead
A beam pumping unit lifts the rod string with a walking beam. A gas engine or electric motor drives the gearbox, the gearbox turns the cranks, and the walking beam rocks on its saddle bearing. The horsehead on the well end raises and lowers the rods through the bridle, while the counterweights balance the load.
Every one of those parts wears, and we stock them: bearings, housings, wrist-pins, gears and pinions, plus Arrow and AJAX gas engines and electric motors. Forty years, same location: we’ll be here when your unit needs parts.

Used, Rebuilt, or New
Rebuilt Like New in Our Own Shop
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.
Every used unit we sell has been through our shop, not just parked in the yard: bearings pressed, parts machined to spec on our HAAS centers, repainted, and set right before it ever leaves the yard. That’s the difference between buying a unit and buying a problem.

After the Sale
Parts and Repair for the Life of the Unit
We carry the largest pump jack parts inventory in West Texas and Southeastern New Mexico, including hard-to-find parts for older units. Over forty years of stocking means “do you have it?” almost always gets a yes.
When a unit goes down, we inspect, quote, and repair all makes and models, in our shop or out on your lease. And because the parts are already on our shelf, we get you back online in days, not weeks.
Delivery
Delivered and Set Across the Basin
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 across the Permian Basin and Southeastern New Mexico. Picking it up yourself? You’ll line up the pickup with Chris, our yard foreman, so it’s ready and right when you come for it.
Shutting down a lease or sitting on iron you don’t need? We buy used pumping units too — running or down. Give us a call with what you’ve got and we’ll make an offer.
