There are four main benefits of entering the used equipment market.

Reduced maintenance costs

Keeping equipment up and running generates maintenance costs, a need for additional labor, and additional expenses such as energy consumption. Selling equipment that no longer has functionality for a company can bring significant opportunities for cost reduction, in addition to profit from the value of the product.

Reduction in depreciation costs

Depreciation expense is the amount lost from general wear and the expected life of a piece of equipment. By selling a product that is unused and no longer contributes to revenue generation through lack of use, it is possible to eliminate depreciation and performance costs.

Tax reduction and insurance

Selling unused or unneeded equipment can reduce the cost of taxes on the piece of equipment itself. Also, it is possible to achieve reduction in insurance costs. Often, unneeded pieces of equipment are still covered by insurance, so determining what needs to be covered and what can be removed can help save money as well.

Service and warranty

When buying used equipment from a reliable company with a specialized focus, it is possible to verify, through a registration request, if a piece of equipment has received proper maintenance during its life. This serves as a guarantee that the asset is in good condition and will perform well for a company.
