About Lufkin
Lufkin Industries was founded in 1902 in Lufkin, Texas and became one of the most recognized names in oilfield surface pumping equipment and heavy-duty industrial gear drives. Lufkin was acquired by GE Oil & Gas in 2013 and is now part of Baker Hughes. The company''s legacy product lines remain dominant in the North American oilfield: conventional sucker-rod beam pumping units (the Lufkin C-Series, with model numbers like C-228, C-320, C-456, C-640, C-912, and C-1280 indicating peak polished-rod load), the Mark II Unitorque enhanced-geometry pumping units, the Mark III, and air-balanced pumping units for high-stroke deep-well applications. On the industrial side, Lufkin manufactures parallel-shaft and right-angle gearboxes, marine reduction gear drives for commercial and military vessels, and high-speed turbomachinery gearing for power generation and oil and gas compression. Used Lufkin pumping units are extremely common on the secondary market across the Permian, Eagle Ford, Bakken, and other producing basins because of the multi-decade installed base, and used Lufkin industrial gearboxes hold their value because of robust cast construction and excellent rebuild characteristics. Common inspection points on used pumping units include gearbox bearings and gear tooth wear, sampson post and walking beam condition, brake band, counterweights, prime mover (electric motor or gas engine), and serial-number traceability. Parts and service are widely available through Baker Hughes and a deep network of independent oilfield service contractors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Used Lufkin Equipment
What does Lufkin make?
Lufkin Industries (now part of Baker Hughes) manufactures oilfield sucker-rod pumping units (C-Series conventional, Mark II Unitorque, Mark III, and air-balanced units), heavy-duty industrial parallel-shaft and right-angle gearboxes, marine reduction gear drives, and high-speed turbomachinery gearing.
Why buy a used Lufkin pumping unit or gearbox?
Used Lufkin equipment offers proven, rebuild-friendly American construction at a fraction of new pricing. The massive installed base across U.S. oilfields means parts and qualified service technicians are widely available, and Lufkin gearboxes can be rebuilt multiple times over a 30-50 year service life.
What should I inspect when buying a used Lufkin pumping unit?
Inspect the gearbox (bearings, gear-tooth wear, oil analysis), sampson post and walking beam condition, brake band and brake mechanism, counterweight condition and balance, prime mover (electric motor or gas engine) condition, and verify the serial number and original API rating. Confirm peak polished-rod load capacity matches the application.
What are the most popular Lufkin models on the used market?
Common used Lufkin pumping unit models include the C-228, C-320, C-456, C-640, C-912, and C-1280 conventional units, the Mark II Unitorque enhanced-geometry units in similar capacities, and air-balanced units for deep-well high-stroke applications. Industrial gearboxes are sized by power rating and ratio.
Are parts and service still available for Lufkin equipment?
Yes. Baker Hughes (which now owns Lufkin) supports the entire Lufkin installed base with OEM parts, rebuilds, and field service. In addition, a deep ecosystem of independent oilfield service contractors and gearbox rebuilders supports Lufkin equipment throughout North America.
