Used Machines


Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are used construction machines safe to operate on commercial job sites?

    Yes, most used machines are compliant with current safety regulations. We verify each unit’s safety features—like rollover protection, emergency stops, and compliant visibility systems—before resale.


  • Do your used machines come with service history and condition reports?

    Yes. Every machine includes a documented service and maintenance history along with operational hours. We also provide a condition inspection report outlining wear, repairs, and any major components replaced. 

  • Can I test drive or inspect a used machine before purchase?

    Absolutely. We encourage onsite inspections and test drives, so you can evaluate engine performance, controls, hydraulics, and undercarriage. This helps ensure the machine meets your operational needs.

  • How many operating hours is acceptable for a used machine?

    Lower hour units are preferred, though properly maintained higher-hour machines may still be viable. Typically, machines under 5,000 hours are seen as moderate usage—with full service records, they’re often a safer and more reliable option.

  • What safety and compliance checks do you perform?

    We inspect all machines for safety and site compliance, including ROPS/FOPS certified cabs, dual-lock hitch compatibility, functioning alarms, and operator manuals. Non-compliant machines are flagged before listing. 

  • Do you offer warranty, parts, or service support on used machines?

    Yes. We deliver national after-sales support, including access to genuine spare parts, servicing, and optional extended warranties—typically up to 12 months where eligible. 


  • Is financing, leasing, or rental available for used equipment?

    Yes. We offer flexible finance, leasing, or rental options to match your reQ:uirements—whether it’s a short-term project or long-term operation.


  • How do I choose the right used machine for my requirements?

    Our team provides expert guidance based on application, terrain, load capacity, and budget. We evaluate model performance, availability of attachments, and any differences from newer counterparts.
