It turns out that buying an excavator for business is a great idea.

The construction business is an interesting thing. Developing any one direction, many businessmen do not even notice auxiliary income. A familiar owner of a sawmill, who made interior doors, discovered a new and very profitable income. It turns out that sawdust, which was taken out in kilograms for scrap, can be packaged and sold. And if these are sawdust of fruit trees, then the price for them is very high.

Construction crews who build buildings from scratch will certainly receive additional income if special equipment is available. Enough buy excavatorto increase the speed of excavation. And the associated financial income will be the domestic use of special equipment. For example, digging pits for swimming pools or loading and unloading work at construction sites.

Buying an excavator - easy to say, hard to do

 

Of course, the price of special equipment is quite high. And given the technical characteristics of the excavator, even the entire construction team, in aggregate, may not have enough finances. But there is a secondary market where you can always pick up an excavator at a convenient cost. After all, pricing is inextricably linked with the capabilities of special equipment:

 

• Overall dimensions and weight of the excavator. The more, the more powerful the technique. In the secondary market, the price of a huge excavator can be lower than a small one. After all, it also takes into account the resource of existing nodes and their cost during repair or maintenance.
• Track gauge and chassis type. You can buy an excavator on wheels or tracks. There are stationary structures that require a platform.
• Type of special equipment. Excavators are earth-moving, loaders, for handling or digging trenches.
• The volume of the bucket and the possibility of its replacement.
• Equipment and functionality of the excavator. This is a set of devices and mechanisms that increase the efficiency of special equipment.

An excavator is needed, but which one is better to choose

 

Having decided on the technical characteristics, the buyer will certainly be puzzled by the choice of the manufacturer of special equipment. There are dozens of European, American and Asian brands on the market that claim that their excavator is the best. Here it is better to focus on the convenience of service and the availability of spare parts. After all, an excavator, in fact, is a vehicle with added functionality. Many mechanical, hydraulic and pneumatic components are prone to wear. Therefore, it is important to understand how quickly and with minimal financial costs it will be possible to return special equipment to service.

 

• It is better to give preference to those brands that are officially represented in the country. And even better, if the office or warehouse of the company is present in the city of residence. Firstly, quickly wearing spare parts will certainly be in stock. Secondly, you can always order new units for the existing excavator model.
• Making a technological breakthrough, some manufacturers are abandoning mechanical components in favor of electronics. This is great. Only the maintenance of complex electrical appliances requires skill or experience. This point must be taken into account if the owner of the excavator plans, for example, to independently perform equipment maintenance.

Buyers often look at the year of manufacture of the excavator, making a choice in favor of "fresh" special equipment. This is the main mistake. In the secondary market, quite old special equipment in perfect condition is more common. It is easy to maintain and will last another couple of decades for sure. When choosing, it is better to look at the technical condition. Many excavators can even judge the performance of a machine from photographs alone. Therefore, it will not be superfluous to take such an expert with you when going for a purchase that is profitable for your business.
