Used Shop Equipment for Warehouse Storage Solutions

Having good shop equipment at your disposal is essential for good warehouse function. The good news is that good equipment doesn’t necessarily mean new equipment; for warehouse managers on a budget, used shop equipment that meets the operation’s needs is a cost effective and simple solution, with some provisions.

When it comes to warehouse storage solutions that don’t take a chunk out of a company’s budget, going with used equipment can be a sensible and effective answer. The key is to understand that, just as it can be bad idea to blow the equipment budget on new warehouse equipment that you won’t use often, it can be equally terrible to buy secondhand equipment that you plan to use everyday.

Old or New? Shopping Smart for Warehouse Equipment

The idea scenario is one that provides a balance of new and used equipment, with special attention paid regular maintenance sand safe and proper usage of equipment. So, what kind of things should you consider when shopping for new or used shop equipment? Here are some considerations to keep in mind when deciding between used warehouse equipment and new.

  • What type of equipment do you need? Choosing between used and new equipment often depends on the type of work you need done, If you need it to handle big or delicate jobs, you may want to splurge a bit on new equipment. Alternatively, if it is a fairly common piece of equipment and it won’t be handling a significant load of warehouse work, used shop equipment may be suitable enough.
  • How Often will it be used? A machine that is seldom turned on is most likely a good candidate for a used purchase. You will get your money’s worth and often, if it’s a machine that you will not be used frequently, you will shave costs right out of your allotted equipment budget by going used.
  • What is your estimated budget? If you don’t have a lot of money to spend on equipment , the used shop equipment may be more that just an option- it may just be necessity. On the other hand, having some cushion in your budget will allow for more sizable purchases, like new equipment.
  • How Long do you need it to last? Finding the best possible deal for your money is important, and that means choosing equipment that will last as long as possible. That often means sticking to new equipment.

Do you want a warranty? In fact, if the previous point is an important one for you, the new equipment is the obvious choice. Chances are the new equipment will come with a manufacturer warranty – and the opportunity to purchase and extended warranty. Used equipment often comes as-is, without a warranty of any kind.
