Buying the Right Used Excavator for Your Needs

Heavy equipment is a must for any serious construction company and even smaller projects rely on big machines to make the work faster and more efficient. This can be particularly true for a staple machine like an excavator, but these tools can also be expensive. One way to save a little money is to look for used excavators here at Arnold's Inc. We have a wide range of options at our many locations across Minnesota, so drop in today and see what we can do for you!

When to Use a Used Excavator

An excavator of any condition can be a vital part of your operation. Their primary purpose is right there in the name. Often called a digger or a backhoe, these machines are designed to apply their powerful arm to digging big holes that could take a team of shovelers days to complete. You can find models in a wide range of sizes to fit your needs, as well as a variety of attachments to put on the end of the arm. Use your model for more than just digging and optimize your investment so you don't have to buy other products that your excavator can take care of.

The Benefits of Pre-Owned

Obviously, the biggest benefit of buying a used excavator is the price. Pre-owned machines of any variety are significantly cheaper than their newer counterparts, but in the case of heavy equipment, it can mean the difference between affording essential tools and forgoing them altogether.

Not to mention, a good model is built to last. Even if it's several years old, even if it's older than a decade old, there's still likely plenty of life left in the machine. That's why you'll still want to do plenty of homework. Figure out what brands are most reliable and ask about maintenance records and accident reports for a complete picture of the condition.

Perform an Inspection

Records will only tell you so much. You'll want to perform your own inspection, and likely you'll want to hire a professional to perform one for you. Used excavators are complicated, and unless you or someone on your staff is trained to inspect them for flaws and red flags, you'll want an expert pair of eyes looking over the model you're interested in and ensuring that it doesn't show any signs of damage or excessive wear and tear.
