When it comes to buying equipment to use in manufacturing there are many advantages that come from purchasing used or refurbished pieces.\u00a0 It is cost effective for companies, both big and small, to buy quality used and refurbished industrial assets for their facilities.\u00a0 It is also beneficial for a company\u2019s budget to repair large, heavy industrial equipment with less expensive refurbished components<\/a> verse OEM parts.\u00a0 Before jumping into purchasing refurbished equipment and components it\u2019s important to take into consideration a variety of factors.<\/p>\n

It is always important to choose the right equipment for your facility.\u00a0 Without the proper equipment your facility won\u2019t run effectively.\u00a0 Key elements you should look at before purchasing new or refurbished industrial equipment<\/a> includes:<\/p>\n

Is the equipment refurbished or used?<\/p>\n

If it is used you will want to ask specific questions that have to do with the number of hours the equipment has been used as well the usage history.\u00a0 Most equipment has a specific lifespan; certain repairs are known to be expected at certain points throughout its lifecycle.<\/p>\n

If it is refurbished you will want to determine the process the company used to refurbish the equipment.\u00a0 It is important to choose a company that offers quality refurbishing.\u00a0 Refurbishing is not about cosmetics; it is about bringing a piece of equipment back to life.<\/p>\n

What is the manufacturer\u2019s reputation?<\/p>\n

The manufacturer\u2019s history and reputation play a role when choosing industrial equipment.\u00a0 It is important that the equipment is coming from a reputable manufacturer.\u00a0 Always choose quality and reputation over cost.\u00a0 It is worth paying a bit more to buy a product from a reputable manufacturer.\u00a0 Buying a used or refurbished component<\/a> from a quality manufacturer is better than buying a new off brand with a sketchy reputation.<\/p>\n

What maintenance records are available?<\/p>\n

All equipment runs better and lasts longer with proper maintenance.\u00a0 Before buying used equipment as to see the available maintenance records.\u00a0 Think about it like a car, regular tune ups and oil changes allow the car to run more efficiently and longer.\u00a0 Well maintained industrial and manufacturing equipment will last longer than one that has not.<\/p>\n

Is there physical wear and tear?<\/p>\n

Be sure to do a visual inspection on used and refurbished equipment<\/a> before finalizing the purchase of any large scaled equipment for your facility.\u00a0 Normal wear and tear is to be excepted even if the equipment has been refurbished.\u00a0 Visible cracks, corrosion, wear and fatigue on components, especially mechanical ones, indicate issues with the machinery.\u00a0 These should be big red flags to look for a different piece of equipment to purchase that will better meet your facilities need.<\/p>\n
