1) Why buy used
equipment?
Used equipment can often have
several advantages over new: Value, used equipment is
usually only a percentage of new after several years
of use, with significant useful life center. Reduced
investment gives operators more options on additional
purchases. Availability, often lead times on
new equipment are several months, a used piece
available today can kick off a project tomorrow.
