Heavy Equipment are those heavy-duty vehicles, also known as construction equipment, designed especially for construction activities. In construction companies, they purchase used heavy equipment or second hand equipment instead of buying a new one. This is a strategy of most company business in order for them to save money for their business transactions.

In buying used or second hand heavy equipment, someone should consider many things. Even though the used equipment looks fine, this should be inspected before purchasing the machinery.

1. The first thing to consider is the functionality of the used heavy machine. The machine should be efficient in delivering its duty.

2. Request for a "run tests" of the used heavy machine. Someone that has an experience in handling the heavy equipment should do the run test.

3. Avoid buying used heavy automative from individual who have no know-how in construction equipment, instead buy used heavy machine to a broker or trusted construction equipment dealers of the machinery.

When buying used heavy machines, the buyer should do a visual and operation inspection.

For a visual inspection, look all the important areas of the machinery, its physical aspects and inspect for leaks. After you have inspected, try the operation inspection. For this inspection, the engine is tested if its running, electric circuits or oil burning, controls of wheel and levers, and other parts of the machinery should be tested.

After you have been tested the used heavy machinery you want to purchase, make sure that the dealer will offer you free service maintenance of the used heavy equipment and a 30 to 60 days warranty. When you have ensured free service and a warranty, negotiate the price of the machinery.

Be careful in the settlement of price between you and the dealer. If you think that used heavy machinery is cost higher than a new one, better find another dealer of the machinery. Used heavy machine may cost less than new equipment. Negotiate with a dealer that have flexible pricing when it comes to your second hand heavy machine.
