Advantages of Buying Used Manufacturing Machinery

When it’s time to buy manufacturing machinery for your facility, you have two options for purchasing: new or used. It’s important to consider the pros and cons of each. These choices come with different financial requirements, risk levels and operational expectations you should learn about before making your final decision. One of the primary advantages of buying used manufacturing machinery is its lower price, but it has other advantages as well.

Benefits of choosing used manufacturing machinery:

Quick Delivery

Used manufacturing machinery from Allset Machinery is in stock and ready to ship, if you see a unit on our website, it is available within days. New equipment typically has a lead time of 8-12 weeks. Shorter lead times reduce downtime. 

Lower Upfront Cost

One of the most obvious reasons to buy used machinery is that it’s much less expensive than purchasing new. When buying anything new, a significant portion of what you’re paying for is the newness of the item and not necessarily its true value. The fact is that used equipment, when well-maintained and properly serviced, is just as valuable to your business as a new piece of machinery but at a fraction of the cost. Allset Machinery features used machinery at a much lower cost than buying new. Our machinery can be purchased and put into production in just a matter of days.

Large Selection & Continuity

The market for used equipment is large. Because there’s much more demand for used equipment than new equipment, used equipment stays in circulation longer. Often it is more convenient to replace machinery with the same brand, same machine, or one similar to it. When you buy used equipment, you can typically find machines that you or your operators are already familiar with – they’ll have the same or similar controls and technology. Replacing a machine with the same model is not only convenient, but also reduces training costs. 

Allset Machinery offers a wide variety of pre-owned fabrication equipment, chip processing equipment and cleaning & finishing equipment. Allset Machinery features an always growing inventory with one additional bonus: Great Customer Service.  Find the machine you need here.
