Why Buy Used

- Immediate availability: Take possession of your equipment immediately and put it in the field in less time.
- Fewer depreciation costs: Retain equipment value longer with new-to-you machinery.
- Wide selection: Choose from an extensive range of products — the used equipment market is sizeable.
- Feature upgrades: Enjoy perks on existing models that may have been out of your price range when buying new.

Things to Consider When Buying Used Equipment
Machinery today has a long lifespan thanks to advancements in technology and quality. Buying used equipment is a practical solution when you take the following steps to ensure your investment is a good one:
- Work with a reputable dealer: Look for expertise, service and support after the sale. There’s no substitute for experience and a good reputation.
- Inspect the equipment: Check that the running hours, operability, and signs of existing wear and tear are within normal ranges for equipment age and use. Power generation equipment that’s deployed only in emergency situations should exhibit low running hours.
- Verify the warranty: Confirm the details and transferability of any existing warranty balance.
- Know your buying power: Work with a finance company, your dealer or your bank to understand your purchase budget.
The Importance of Proper Equipment Maintenance and Service
One particularly useful step you’ll want to take before purchasing used power generation equipment is reviewing the existing maintenance and service records. Preventive maintenance keeps small issues from becoming larger ones that can take your equipment out of service. Adhering to manufacturer recommendations for upkeep also prolongs the useful life of the equipment, so you’ll need to replace machinery less often.
