Articulate Your Project's Needs

Think about what you'll need out of your used construction equipment. What tasks does it need to handle? What power capacity does it need to offer? How agile does it need to be? Does it need to fit in a small and confined workspace or will it have plenty of room to maneuver around? The more you articulate what you need, the easier it'll be to find used construction equipment that meets your needs.

Research the Models

Once you have a clearer picture of what you want, you can start looking at the various models. One great benefit of used construction equipment is that you get access to customer reviews and forum posts. Spend some time seeing what current owners are saying about their purchase. Do they find the equipment efficient and easy to work with? Or does it tend to encounter maintenance and performance problems? Gather insight from current owners to help inform your search about which models to seek out and which to stay away from.

When you start looking at specific used construction equipment at a dealership, you'll want to ask plenty of questions. The more information you have, the easier it'll be to make an informed purchasing decision. Ask for records of previous owners, maintenance checks, repairs, incidents, and anything else that could be helpful.

Inspect the Model

Your last step is to inspect the used construction equipment. Here, you are looking for any red flags that indicate problems or lack of maintenance that could lead to expensive repairs down the road. You may want to hire a professional inspector since they can catch plenty of issues that you might miss. If the used construction equipment meets your requirements and passes inspection, then you've found your next purchase!
