Used Compressed Air Equipment: things to consider & benefits of buying used

Posted by Blake and Pendleton

Used compressed air equipment

Used compressed air equipment; it’s an option that is often overlooked by companies in the market for a new system.  But should it be?

Yeah, we know, you’re thinking “used equipment”?

We’re not endorsing the equivalent of old hand-me-downs from your next-door neighbor.  We’re talking about purchasing top-of-line, refurbished, and trusted equipment from a company that stands behind their products. 

Purchasing or renting used equipment comes with a slew of benefits, particularly when it comes to saving money. But, how will you know if you’re making a worthy investment?  The primary factor is ensuring that you are indeed buying or renting from a reliable source. 

Here are some red flags you should be aware of if you’re looking used:

  • The company selling used equipment does not offer a warranty
  • The company cannot provide feedback on the method of testing and refurbishment
  • The manufacturer is a company you have never heard of before and information available is scant
  • The manufacturer is known for faulty equipment or is known as unreliable

Okay, you know about red flags; what are indicators of a good used purchase?

It may seem obvious, but some indicators of a good used equipment purchase will essentially be the opposite of the red flags.  This includes:

  • The selling company offers a warranty
  • The selling company provides detailed information on the testing process
  • The selling company has a good reputation in the industry
  • The manufacturer of the equipment is well known for reliability
  • The manufacturers of the equipment are popular – usually a good gauge on the quality of their product
