What experienced procurement teams know — for every buyer.
The global used industrial machinery market exceeds $150 billion annually. Most buyers overpay by 15–30% or absorb hidden costs that eliminate the savings of buying used. This guide is the playbook experienced procurement teams use — now available to every buyer on EasiMachines.
The #1 buyer mistake: Evaluating only the purchase price. Total Cost of Ownership — rigging, transport, installation, compliance upgrades, and first-year maintenance — routinely adds 20–40% on top of the sticker price. Plan for it before you bid.
Equipment condition depreciates in non-linear ways. Hours, cycles, and maintenance intervals matter more than age alone. This guide shows you what to verify before committing capital.
CE, OSHA, CSA, and import classifications vary by machine type and destination country. Retrofitting for compliance post-purchase can cost tens of thousands — know the rules before you buy.
Most machinery sellers expect negotiation. Knowing depreciation benchmarks, market comparables, and the seller's carrying cost gives you leverage to close at fair value.
