Hi guy
Interested in buying a second hand ritmo. But was worried about distance pumping. Is it possible to upgrade it to a ritmo l distance of pumping and what would be the cost of doing it.

It's the ritmo m then,I've no idea how or if you can upgrade it.
One of the pft ladies will tell you.

Sorry yes it is a ritmo m.
Just wondering if it could be upgraded.
And a what cost.
Or just buy second hand ritmo L if I could find one for sale.

The motor on the M is only 1.5 kW and the l is 2.2 I think so I don't think it would be possible .

I've pumped 30m with an m a few times now, all 25mm bore pipes no bother. And at decent heights to.

How far you wanting to pump like?

Basically to save lugging in up stairs.
For spraying multi finish.
Plus for pumping up to the second and third lift on a scaffold for external work.
Just don't want to be under gunned.

f**k me you need a different scaffolder if the 3ard lift is that high !

Just tell the scaffolder to make you a platform on 1st lift put the machine there, set up there, jobs a gooden

upgrading would be very expensive. bigger motor and gearbox, different pump unit on bottom. new frequency converter and other bits. vibrator . theres a fair bit to change
