Advice for Buying a Used Genset

For most businesses, even a short power outage can cost a lot of money in terms of downtime, damage to sensitive electrical equipment, loss of reputation and more, making an on-site commercial power generator a must-have piece of equipment. As important as a quality genset is, there’s no reason to only buy new – many used generators for sale offer the reliability and quality you’re looking for at a much more attractive price. Here’s some advice on buying a used generator.

Used Genset

Used Generators for Sale Can Be as Good as New – or Better 

When buying a power generator, the last thing you want is equipment that can’t be relied on – and that means always buying new, right? Wrong. 
  • Brand – Some brands like CAT are designed for the toughest working conditions on earth, and these gensets are built to last. Buying used generators for sale from a certified CAT specialist is going to get you equipment that is far superior in quality than many brands that you can buy brand new. 
  • Maintenance – CAT used power generators are expertly maintained and serviced throughout their lifetime, so there’s a full record that covers all the work done on each machine. You can see what maintenance was required, make sure all repairs were made correctly, and ensure that – although used – your genset is in top working condition, offering optimal performance. 
  • After-sales service – Many power generator suppliers offer limited after-sales and technical services, either because it’s not part of their business or because they don’t have the scope to make them available. With a CAT genset, however, you can be assured of quality parts and access to trained maintenance teams wherever you are. 
  • Capital outlay – The cost of a brand new, high-quality commercial power generator can be significant, requiring considerable capital – but choosing a used genset in great condition can deliver the same results at a fraction of the cost. This makes buying peace of mind for your organization that much simpler and more affordable.
