Choosing the Right Construction Equipment
No matter what industry you are in and what tasks need to be completed, your heavy machinery will come with the same basic operating costs that should guide your buying decisions:
- Fuel – Diesel fuel gets the best mileage, but heavy equipment engines are more complex and need expensive maintenance. Gasoline, electricity, and even natural gas are alternative options for heavy equipment that will not be in constant use.
- Buying Price – If two different types of heavy equipment can handle the same task with equal proficiency, always go with the cheaper option.
- Size – Sometimes you will need construction equipment that is slightly overpowered for the job to prevent wear-and-tear (like combine harvesters), while other times you want something as close as possible to the minimum job requirements to save on fuel costs (such as with excavators).
- Maintenance & Repairs –Choosing construction equipment that is meant for the right terrain and job size will minimize repairs and prolong the equipment’s overall functional use.
How to Choose Used Heavy Equipment for Sale
No matter what type of used construction equipment you are interested in, always check:
- Fluids – The engine oil, transmission fluid, coolant, and hydraulic fluid will indicate how well the machine has been maintained. Low fluid levels or dirty fluids are signs of potential neglect. Obviously there should be no major leaks or cracks in the hoses.
- Operating Hours – This will help you determine how much use you can expect to get from the used heavy equipment and when potentially expensive replacements or repairs will be needed.
- Maintenance Logs – Knowing how often the fluids were changed, how often minor repairs were needed, and if any major accidents happened are all important clues as to how well the used construction equipment was kept.
- General Wear – From backhoes to compact track loaders, some degree of wear-and-tear is to be expected with used heavy equipment. However, hairline cracks, rust and excessive dents could be signs of a future problem or a previous accident. Be sure to check the tires and undercarriage extensively.
