What raises and lowers the price of used industrial & commercial machinery
Condition grade is only part of it. These are the specifics that move a quote up or down in this category.
- Parts availability decides more than age, because a make whose bearings, filters and gaskets are still stocked locally is far easier to keep running than an orphan import.
- A machine that comes complete with its tooling, chucks, collets, dies, control panel and starter is worth more than the same machine stripped of them.
- Single-phase equipment reaches a much wider set of buyers, while heavy three-phase plant is limited to premises that already have the right connection.
- Legible rating plates and any service history raise value, since they let a buyer check the specification instead of guessing at it.
- Ease of moving counts: a machine on the ground floor with a clear route out is straightforward, while one upstairs or behind a narrow doorway needs rigging before it can be sold.
When an item is worth parts value only
- A cracked bed, frame or casting, or a weld repair across a load-bearing member, cannot be trusted to hold alignment again.
- An engine or motor that is seized, has no compression, or shows water in the oil as a pale sludge on the dipstick has failed at the most expensive point.
- An air receiver or pressure vessel corroded from the inside, or missing its safety valve, is a hazard rather than a repair job.
- Burnt-out windings on a large motor, which smell of scorched varnish and show blackened coils, often cost more to rewind than the machine is worth once moved.
