Construction equipment and machineries are very expensive. Usually, the companies that can afford to buy the brand new ones are big, multinational companies and other well funded construction businesses. However, smaller construction companies or start ups can still make good use of used construction equipment if they cannot afford to buy brand new ones,

TYPES OF CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

There are many types of construction equipment, depending on what type of work is required. The following is just a run through of some of the more common types of construction equipment and machineries that you can get from construction equipment dealers: for earth moving works, there are tractors, backhoes, drills, compactors, piling machines; for lifting and moving, there are forklifts, floats, hoists, booms, cranes; for road paving works, there are concrete and asphalt mixers, concrete pavers and vibrators, slurry machines, joint heaters; for demolition and waste handling works, there are concrete chippers, rock splitters, and many more.

Construction equipment dealers handle both brand new and used construction equipment. They can even arrange for construction equipment rentals if that is what you require. However, if you choose to handle your company’s needs personally, you can search the web and look for online construction equipment auction that you can join for your used construction equipment needs.

OCULAR INSPECTION

When joining an online construction equipment auction, bear in mind that it is important that you see the actual construction items being auctioned. It is not enough to see the pictures because these pictures can be deceiving. Ask the auctioneers for the viewing schedules of the items to be auctioned and take the time to do an ocular inspection before joining the auction and making any bid.

Remember that if you win, you have to pay the amount as determined by your winning bid. That is why it is important to be sure that the used construction equipment you are bidding for is still in good, running condition.
