Buying guide: Machinery & Equipment
New or used
New machines come with a warranty, a manual and a clear conformity position. Used machines cost less but vary widely in wear, and a low price may reflect a worn spindle, a damaged control board or missing safety guards. For used equipment ask for service records, running hours, recent photos and video of the machine in operation, and arrange an independent inspection before shipment where the value justifies it.
Compliance
In the EU, machinery generally needs CE marking, a declaration of conformity, a technical file held by the maker and instructions in the language of the user. Other markets such as the UK, the US and others have their own electrical, safety and workplace rules, and used machines imported into a market may still have to meet them. Check the rules for your market, and ask whether older machines have been updated with modern guarding and emergency stops.
Electrical supply is an equally basic check. Voltage, frequency and phase differ between countries, and a machine built for one supply may need a transformer or a different motor to run safely elsewhere.
Total cost, not machine price
Heavy equipment adds costs that the quoted price does not show:
- crating, loading and freight for oversized or heavy cargo
- customs classification, import duty and tax
- lifting equipment, foundations and installation
- commissioning and operator training
- spare parts and consumables, such as blades, filters and belts
A cheap machine with no parts supply becomes expensive when it stops.
Fraud and payment risk
Machinery is a favourite subject for advance-payment fraud, including listings for machines that do not exist. Verify the company, ask to see the machine through a live video call, and pay through methods that protect the buyer, such as a letter of credit or a payment held until inspection. Never accept a request to pay into an account in a different name from the supplier.
Margins, units and seasonality
Machinery is sold per unit, or per container for smaller equipment, so there are no case quantities to compare. Reseller margin rests on service, installation and parts rather than the machine itself. Demand follows the work it supports: agricultural and construction equipment sells before the working season, and food or packaging machines follow product launches and capital budgets.
What to ask a supplier
- Conformity documents and manuals in your language
- Voltage, frequency and phase of the machine
- Warranty length and who services it in your country
- Parts availability and typical delivery time
- Whether a pre-shipment inspection is allowed
Frequently asked questions
Is buying used machinery worth the risk?
It can be, when you have service records, an inspection and proof the machine runs. Without those, the saving can disappear in repairs and downtime.
What documents should come with a machine?
Expect a manual, a declaration of conformity where your market requires one, wiring diagrams and a parts list. For used machines, add service history and proof of ownership.
How do I avoid advance-payment fraud?
Verify the seller's company details, see the machine on a live call and use a payment method that releases funds after inspection. Be cautious about unusually low prices and pressure to pay quickly.
Who pays for installation and training?
This is negotiable and should be agreed in writing before the order. Ask whether the supplier offers installation, remote support or local service partners.
