BEFORE PURCHASING USED EQUIPMENT
Important Things
To Have Evaluated.
Inspection scope varies by equipment type and provider, but these are common areas buyers may want reviewed before purchasing.
Mechanical Condition
Review engine operation, transmission, hydraulic systems, and other major mechanical components where applicable.
Visible Wear & Damage
Examine accessible structural areas, tires, tracks, attachments, and signs of wear or previous damage.
Operating Condition
Where permitted and included in the inspection, review machine operation and accessible controls.
Documentation & History
Request available service records, ownership documentation, serial numbers, and maintenance history from the seller.
These are general inspection considerations, not a description of a specific provider's standard inspection package.
SPECIALIZED EQUIPMENT PURCHASES
Buying Heavy Machinery?
Choose the Right Inspector.
Construction and agricultural equipment can require inspection expertise beyond a standard vehicle inspection. Depending on the machine, buyers may want a qualified heavy-equipment mechanic, dealership technician, or specialized equipment inspection company.
Before arranging an inspection, confirm that the provider can evaluate the exact make and model, perform the checks you need, and provide appropriate findings for your purchase decision.
