FAQ

What is a 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro and what does it do? +

The 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro is a laser-guided boom-operated concrete screed machine designed for placing and leveling large concrete slabs. It automatically levels concrete to precise specifications using laser technology, achieving flatness and levelness numbers (FF/FL) that manual screeding cannot match. The MAX Pro features a 12.5-foot screed head combined with a 16-foot boom reach, capable of screeding approximately 200 square feet per pass.

What are the key specifications of this 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro? +

The 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro is powered by a Honda iGX800 engine (electronic fuel injection, air-cooled, four-stroke, 24.9 horsepower). The machine weighs approximately 4,800-5,100 pounds and measures roughly 15-16 feet in length. It features wireless remote control operation, 2-wheel proportional hydraulic drive, and can handle flat, sloped, or dual-sloped concrete pours. The 949 hours on this 2017 model indicates moderate use with plenty of service life remaining.

What does "everything you need except the laser level" mean? +

This listing includes the complete ScreedSaver machine, screed head, wireless remote control, and all operational accessories. However, it does not include the laser level (transmitter) or laser receivers needed for automatic grade control. Laser systems like the Topcon LS-B110 or Trimble systems are typically sold separately and can cost $3,000-$8,000 depending on whether you need 2D (grade and slope) or 3D (GPS or LPS) capabilities.

Can this 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro do 3D concrete paving? +

While the 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro comes standard with 2D laser leveling capability (for grade, slope, and dual slope work), it can be upgraded with optional 3D systems. Ligchine offers compatibility with Topcon’s 3D mmGPS satellite control or LPS robotic systems for contoured concrete paving. You would need to purchase and install these optional systems separately if 3D capability is desired.

How productive is this machine compared to manual screeding? +

The 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro can screed 200 square feet per pass with its 12.5-foot head and 16-foot boom reach. This dramatically increases productivity compared to manual screeding methods. Contractors report that one machine with one operator can replace 4-6 workers using traditional screeding methods, while achieving superior flatness results. The machine can typically complete 20,000-40,000 square feet per day depending on job conditions.

What types of concrete projects is this machine best suited for? +

The 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro excels at warehouse floors, commercial slabs, tilt-up panels, parking structures, retail spaces, and any large flatwork application requiring tight FF/FL specifications. It’s particularly valuable for superflat floors (FF/FL 50+), sloped drainage floors, and projects where consistent levelness is critical. The mid-size capacity makes it versatile enough for both large commercial jobs and smaller industrial applications.

How difficult is it to operate a ScreedSaver? +

The 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro is designed for ease of operation with wireless remote control. Basic operation can be learned in a few hours, though mastering the nuances for different concrete mixes and conditions takes practice. The machine features automatic laser leveling that adjusts the screed head 10 times per second once activated. Most operators become proficient within 1-2 weeks of regular use. Ligchine provides training resources and dealer support.

What routine maintenance does this 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro require? +

Key maintenance includes: daily cleaning of the screed head and auger after each use, checking hydraulic fluid levels and hoses, inspecting the Honda engine oil level, cleaning or replacing the air filter (every 50 hours), changing engine oil every 100 hours, greasing pivot points and bearings, and inspecting drive chains and belts. The Honda iGX800 is known for reliability and parts availability. Annual service by a Ligchine dealer is recommended.

How difficult is it to find parts and service for 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro equipment? +

2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro has an extensive dealer network across North America and internationally, with dedicated service and parts support (1-833-342-5544). The Honda engine uses standard parts available at any Honda Power Equipment dealer. Hydraulic components are industry-standard items. Most hydraulic and structural parts can be shipped within 24-48 hours. Ligchine’s reputation for customer service and parts availability is excellent in the industry.

What is the expected lifespan of a well-maintained 2017 Ligchine ScreedSaver MAX Pro? +

With proper maintenance, ScreedSaver machines regularly exceed 3,000-5,000 hours of operation. At 949 hours, this 2017 unit has approximately 70-80% of its useful life remaining. Many contractors report machines lasting 10-15 years in regular commercial use. The Honda engine is particularly durable, and major components like hydraulic pumps, motors, and structural frames are built for long-term reliability.

How do I transport this machine to my job site? +

The ScreedSaver MAX Pro weighs approximately 4,800-5,100 pounds and measures about 16 feet long by 6 feet wide. It can be transported on a standard equipment trailer pulled by a 3/4-ton or 1-ton pickup truck. Many contractors use enclosed trailers (18-20 feet) to protect the machine and carry accessories. The machine has its own drive system for loading/unloading and moving around job sites at walking speed.

Do I need special training or certification to use this machine? +

No special certification is required, though proper training is essential for safe and effective operation. Many buyers schedule on-site training with Ligchine dealers or experienced operators. The wireless remote control keeps the operator at a safe distance from the concrete placement area. Safety training should cover concrete placement hazards, equipment operation, emergency stops, and proper PPE (hard hat, safety glasses, steel-toed boots).

What's a fair price for a 2017 model with 949 hours? +

The asking price of $120,000 (negotiable) is competitive for a well-maintained 2017 MAX Pro with low hours. New ScreedSaver machines in this class range from $150,000-$200,000+ depending on configuration. Comparable used units with 800-1,200 hours typically sell for $110,000-$135,000. The 949-hour meter reading indicates this machine has been lightly used (averaging about 120 hours per year), which is favorable for longevity.

What additional costs should I budget beyond the machine purchase? +

Beyond the $120,000 asking price, budget for: laser transmitter and receivers ($3,000-$8,000), transportation to your location ($500-$2,000 depending on distance), insurance, trailer if you don’t have one ($8,000-$15,000), initial supplies (hydraulic fluid, fuel, cleaning supplies: $200-$500), and training if needed ($500-$2,000). Total initial investment including machine and essentials: approximately $130,000-$145,000.

Should I have this machine inspected before purchasing? +

Absolutely. Request a detailed inspection including: engine compression test, hydraulic system pressure test, hour meter verification, screed head and auger condition assessment, drive system operation, frame and structural integrity check, wireless remote function test, and review of maintenance records. Ligchine dealers or experienced concrete equipment mechanics can perform pre-purchase inspections for $300-$800. This investment can save thousands by identifying potential issues before purchase.
