Who can examine and evaluate used heavy equipment?

Smart investments start with thorough inspections. Before buying used heavy machinery, it is essential to inspect it in advance. But where do you start and what should you definitely not forget?

The easiest way is to entrust this task to technicians who are familiar with it. We at Mevas have specialised in the inspection of used heavy machinery and are very familiar with the functions and weak points of the individual machines.

Depending on the machine type, we have created an individualised inspection form, which the technician checks step by step and tests the machine.

What is the best way to get rid of surplus heavy machinery and equipment?

  1. Sell It: If the machinery and equipment are in good condition and still have value, consider selling them. You can use online platforms such as eBay, Craigslist, or specialized machinery marketplaces to reach potential buyers. Alternatively, you can work with industrial equipment dealers or auction houses to sell them at market value.
  2. Trade-In: Some equipment dealers may accept trade-ins when you’re purchasing new machinery or equipment. This can help offset the cost of the new purchase while getting rid of the old equipment.
  3. Online Auctions: Participate in online auctions dedicated to industrial equipment. Websites like IronPlanet or Machinery Trader host auctions where you can sell your excess machinery to interested buyers worldwide.
  4. Consignment: You can also consider consigning your machinery and equipment with a reputable dealer who will sell it on your behalf for a commission.
  5. Scrap or Recycling: If the machinery is no longer functional or too outdated to sell, consider selling it for scrap metal or recycling. You might not get as much money as you would by selling it as usable equipment, but it’s a way to recoup some value and dispose of the machinery responsibly.
  6. Donation: In some cases, donating excess machinery to vocational schools, training centers, or non-profit organizations might be a viable option. They may be able to use the equipment for training purposes or repurpose it for other projects.
  7. Hire a Removal Service: If you’re unable to sell or donate the machinery, you might need to hire a professional removal service to handle the dismantling and disposal of the equipment. Make sure to choose a licensed and insured company to ensure proper disposal and compliance with environmental regulations.
