Over the years, economy has played a substantial role in shaping the ownership pattern of construction equipment. While avoiding the purchase of new equipment, various contractors have been depending on their existing equipments by embellishing them with consistent repairs. Used construction equipment have also been in trend due to the same reason. Unlike new equipments, used construction machinery is not solely backed by brand name to justify its purchase. There are various other factors that need to be considered while purchasing used equipment in India. Let’s take a look at them.
· Check working state of engine
It is very common amongst the sellers to serve their used heavy equipment with non-working state of its engine. Never believe their words. Always test the engine of used construction equipment before making a purchase and do not accept it in non-working state.
· Look for leaking fluids
Before you make the final decision, make sure the cylinders and backhoe loader are in good shape. Check for the arms or hoses as well.
· Take a look at the service records
Service records help you in knowing the condition of the used construction equipment better. They are capable of justifying the good words of the owner regarding his/her used heavy equipment.
· Check welds on the used machinery
Used heavy equipment is generally beaten up constantly till the time it breaks. After that it is welded. Always remember that a weld can never be as strong as the real steel. Hence, look for that as well.
