What does a Mevas inspection include?

We check a machine as if we were buying it for ourselves. What things need to be repaired to enable durable and safe operation? Did the seller try to hide defects with paint or tricks? Are the operating hours on the counter correct? Do all the assemblies work and is the performance right?

The inspector works through a checklist. This ensures that he does not overlook any subassembly. A test of the functions and a check of the oil and coolant are also part of the process. An expert opinion comes with many photos and some short videos.

Our inspections leave no stone unturned. We meticulously evaluate each machine, identifying potential issues and hidden defects. From mechanical components to operational performance, we ensure a thorough examination.
