5 Benefits of Buying Pre-Owned Construction Equipment
In today’s fast-paced construction industry, many firms are shifting from buying brand-new to investing in high-quality pre-owned machinery. Here is why:
1. Significant Cost Savings
The most obvious benefit is the lower price. You can often purchase a premium brand machine (like CAT or Komatsu) for 30–50% less than the “new” sticker price, freeing up capital for other parts of your business.
2. Avoiding Initial Depreciation
New machinery depreciates the moment it leaves the showroom. When you buy used, the previous owner has already taken the biggest financial hit. If you maintain the vehicle well, you can often resell it a few years later for a price close to what you paid.
3. Immediate Availability
Manufacturing a new specialized vehicle can take months. At Easyway, our inventory is ready to be shipped. This allows you to scale up for a new contract instantly.
4. Proven Reliability
Used machines have a track record. You can research that specific model’s performance history and easily find parts and technicians who know exactly how to fix it.
5. Lower Insurance Costs
Since the replacement value of a used machine is lower than a new one, your insurance premiums are typically much more affordable.
