Used machinery inspection on UK Plant auctions?

If you want to buy used machinery and equipment at Morris Lesslie Plant auction, an inspection is advisable. If the auction is too far away from you, it might make sense to commission an expert service to inspect one or more machines. If you’re looking for such a service, you’ve come to the right place. MEVAS experts in the UK inspect used machines and vehicles at fair prices.

This offer is valid for auctions in different countries, not only for the United Kingdom.

We are technical experts and can see what’s wrong with the machine at first or second glance. You will receive a brief report listing the main defects. The technician checks the machine on site and carries out a function test. He checks the performance of the engine and hydraulic system. He looks for cracks or damage anywhere on the machine. A brief visual inspection of the hydraulic lines and cylinders shows whether the hydraulic system is ready for operation. The noises are checked, e.g. whether the hydraulic pump is whining, and the exhaust gases are examined to check whether the engine is smoking. You will receive about 15 pictures. So you can judge from home whether it makes sense to place a bid on this machine. It is most interesting for both parties if you would like to have viewed several machines and place a bid on one of them. The price per short inspection is then around £200.

Here are some key points to consider about heavy equipment auctions:

1. Competitive Bidding: Auctions create a competitive atmosphere where multiple buyers are vying for the same equipment. This competition can drive prices down, potentially offering you an opportunity to get machinery at a reasonable price.

2. Wide Selection: Auctions often feature a wide range of heavy equipment, including cranes of different types and sizes. You may find mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, and other variations available for bidding. This variety gives you a better chance of finding the specific machinery you need.

3. Condition and Inspection: It’s important to carefully inspect the equipment before bidding. Most auctions provide an opportunity for potential buyers to inspect the machinery before the auction day. Take advantage of this and bring along a knowledgeable mechanic or operator to assess the condition of the lots you’re interested in. Understanding the equipment’s condition will help you determine its value and set your bidding limit accordingly.

4. Auction Formats: Auctions can be conducted in different formats, such as live on-site auctions or online auctions. Online auctions have become increasingly popular, offering the convenience of bidding from anywhere. Be sure to understand the auction format, bidding process, and any associated fees or buyer’s premiums before participating.

5. Research and Preparation: Before attending an auction, research the cranes or machines you are interested in to understand their market value, typical auction prices, and any specific details or features you require. This knowledge will help you make informed decisions during the bidding process and avoid overpaying.

Remember that while heavy equipment auctions can offer reasonable prices, it’s essential to do your due diligence, thoroughly inspect the machinery or send a reputable inspection company 😉 , and set a budget for bidding.

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.
