How to purchase the suitable equipment?

The use of the correct construction equipment in production can improve work efficiency and smooth the work flow. The person in charge of the enterprise, of the project and some construction teams rely heavily on construction tools and equipment. After purchasing new construction equipment, how to operate, maintain, and repair the machine are all difficult problems that plague the head of the enterprise. These problems can be solved well by choosing a good equipment supplier. For example, you may be confused about which one of the famous suppliers is most suitable for you, Kobelco machine, JCB machine or Sany machine? Below, we summarize the points that buyers should consider when buying equipment.

 

 

1. How much does it cost to purchase equipment?

 

Purchasing machinery and equipment is the most common thing in manufacturing. The purchase of heavy equipment requires a large expenditure. Our budget for buying heavy equipment determines what kind of equipment you can buy. It should be reminded that the cost of capital accounts for 50% of the buyer’s total cost of owning certain equipment. The basic price of the equipment itself may also include: taxes and fees for the purchase of goods, shipping costs for transporting the equipment to the buyer’s address, packaging costs for the equipment before shipping, equipment placement fees, and some additional costs.

 

If you have a small budget, you can consider buying second-hand machines. A second-hand Doosan loader or Bobcat loader can save you a lot of money. Undoubtedly, the cost of second-hand machines is much lower than that of new machines of the same quality. As a result, it reduces the start-up capital investment in new businesses. However, you must be more careful when buying second-hand machines. It is important to confirm with the supplier whether the warranty is guaranteed. In addition, check the company's reputation in the machinery market. Famous companies, such as Sumitomo electronics, are often more credible.

 

 

2. Understand the support that equipment suppliers can provide

 

As a purchaser or project leader of a construction company, you need to understand this when buying heavy equipment. What kind of technical support the equipment supplier can provide to the buyer is also important. In the future, the equipment unavoidably needs these services. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm in advance, how long the warranty period and maintenance services the supplier provides for the equipment, and which parts (including track rollers for mini excavator, high manganese steel casting parts, quick attach bucket adaptors, and etc.) can be replaced free of charge. Also confirm whether the support provided is local or foreign.

 

 

3. Is the equipment selection correct?

 

When choosing which equipment to purchase, the appropriate heavy equipment should be selected based on the existing engineering volume plus a certain margin. This is a huge expenditure and we must be cautious. Think about whether this device can handle your engineering workload in the next few years, whether its function and durability can meet your requirements. Although the purchase of new equipment and training of new operators require additional expenditure, the high efficiency of the new equipment is sufficient to cover this part.

 

 

4. Access to heavy equipment

 

In order to maintain normal production, construction companies or engineering contractors need to replace equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. Whether to buy or rent or used machines such as Kubota tractors, depends on the financial situation. If the missing equipment is an important equipment frequently used by enterprises, then we are the best choice.
