the right equipment at a reasonable price
In mining, construction, forestry, landscaping, agriculture and numerous other industries, heavy equipment and machinery is your life blood. Whether you’re an owner or manager in such a business, you need to weigh up the pros and cons of investing in new or used equipment. Finding the right equipment for the job at a reasonable price and in a timely manner is vital.
If time and money are of the essence, a good option is to buy used equipment. The obvious reservation is that it may not deliver the same level of productivity, safety or efficiency as a new machine, but with Caterpillar and WesTrac, these risks are mitigated. WesTrac stocks a range of second-hand Cat equipment, much of it available through the Cat certified used program which ensures quality and value go hand in hand. Whether you’re in the market for a single machine or a fleet of used construction equipment, there are several benefits - and not just from a time and cost perspective. Think resale value and sustainability benefits among other things.

Advantages of used equipment
There are many advantages to buying used construction machinery and equipment, including:
Save money
Heavy equipment accounts for a large portion of the spend in construction and one way to cut costs is to buy used machinery. Buying used construction equipment not only costs less and has less depreciation, but choosing the right equipment, backed with a suitable warranty, could help you do an equally good job at lower cost. Another benefit is that older models may use technology your operators are already familiar with, reducing potential training overheads.
Wider selection
There are typically more options to choose from when you’re shopping for used construction equipment. When you’re not buying new, there’s also often less lead time with getting the machine imported, built and commissioned, so you can get on with the job sooner than if waiting for new equipment.
Less depreciation
As soon as you buy new construction equipment, its value significantly depreciates. That means the difference between the initial price and the resale value can be considerably more. If you choose to buy used equipment, it means less outlay upfront and chances are you can recoup a good portion of those costs if reselling.
More sustainable
Sustainability is vital to operate successfully in today’s business world. And while some older equipment may not deliver quite the same efficiencies as newer machines, when properly serviced and maintained, extending the useful life of equipment is far more sustainable than building brand new machinery. Buying used construction equipment is one way to assist in reducing your carbon footprint.
