Used & new Industrial & Commercial Machinery for sale in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
Where can I buy used industrial & commercial machinery in Islamabad?
Buying used plant is mostly about evidence. A machine that can be started from cold, put under load and shown to hold its readings is a different proposition from one simply turned over in a yard. Ask what work it last did, whether parts for that make are still stocked locally, and what tooling, control panel and starter come with it. Grades run down to For Parts / Repair.

Request this itemWhat to check before buying a used industrial & commercial machinery
These are the checks that set the condition grade on anything we list — and the ones worth running yourself wherever you buy.
Put a real load on it
An unloaded machine tells you little. On an air compressor, time it up to cut-out pressure, then stop it and watch the gauge: a receiver that bleeds down within minutes has leaking valves, unions or a worn non-return valve. On a driven machine, load the spindle or the feed and listen for the motor bogging down.
Check the floor, not the machine
Machines get wiped down before a viewing; the floor underneath does not. A dark patch under the sump, gearbox or hydraulic ram records a leak that has been running a long time. Fresh paint on a gearbox casing or a cylinder head usually hides the trace of that leak rather than a restoration.
Compare the hour meter with the wear
Hour meters are the odometer of this category and are swapped just as freely. Read it, then look at the controls: handwheel knurling worn smooth, polished slideways, pedals rubbed bare. Low hours on a machine with heavily worn controls means the meter has been changed or left disconnected, and the reading is worth nothing.
Wind the handwheels and feel the backlash
On a lathe or milling machine, turn each handwheel back and forth. The free movement before the slide actually travels is backlash in the leadscrew and nut, and a large amount means the machine can no longer hold a size. Check the bedways for scoring and for a worn dip near the chuck, which is where the work has been done.
Read the plate for supply and starter
The rating plate gives the kilowatts, the phase and the full-load current, which decides whether a site can run the machine at all. Ask whether the starter, contactors and overload relay are included, since a motor above a few kilowatts needs proper starting gear and a machine arriving without its panel is not ready to work.
Look inside the pressure vessel's drain
Open the drain valve at the bottom of an air receiver. Water should come out, because a tank drained regularly has some. A drain left shut for years means the vessel has been standing in its own condensate and corroding from the inside, which cannot be seen from outside and cannot be repaired.
