When you are looking at tube fillers, there are two options – new or used. While new might be ideal, it is also the most expensive route and may not be ideal for your business. The other option is to go for used tube fillers. The biggest concern in this area is finding the right company for that used equipment – how do you know who you should work with?
Benefits of used tube fillers
Buying used might once have been a bit of a gamble because you didn’t know if the quality of the equipment was to a certain standard. But refurbishing and renewing equipment have come a long way and the quality equipment on offer can even come with guarantees in some cases.
Used equipment such as Used Tube Fillers can cost the business a lot less than brand new versions would while still offering the same benefits. It is also a useful option if you are unsure if the project is a long-term one – invest in used equipment until you are in a position to afford new equipment.
How to choose used equipment suppliers
The key to getting the best-used equipment is to find the best supplier. Using a reputable supplier not only gets you the right equipment but also the best advice. You, therefore, want to confirm that the company you are considering has this reputation and is a legitimate business.
There are lots of ways to do this. Their website is a good place to start – depending on the industry it may show accreditations or membership of certain industry guilds or groups. It will also likely show customer reviews – these are from real people who have used the company’s service and were happy enough to give a review.
In some cases, you can also use independent review sites. These don’t apply to all industries but for some, you may be able to look up the company in question and see the reviews that people have left, both good and bad.
Various options
Another benefit for those in the manufacturing industry when considering used or refurbished equipment is to find a supplier who offers a variety of services. For example, if you are looking for used tube fillers, you might also want to consider a company that can offer a stock of used equipment but also new ones. You may also want to consider a company that can manufacture their own machines so that if you need something specific, they can help.
As well as refurbished used tube fillers there are other options. Rebuilds and conversions are where older machinery is updated and made into an innovative new design that meets all the regulations. This reduces the cost compared with buying new and offers the options you might need.
End of line equipment can be another way to get bargain prices on new equipment which is no longer being produced by the manufacturer. By working with an expert in that type of equipment, you can also still get the support you need if you encounter problems with the end of line machinery at some point in the future. And as a stockist, there is a greater likelihood that they have other equipment and parts to work alongside this.
This means choosing the right used parts company isn’t just about the stock of used tube fillers. Consider additional services and other types of equipment they can offer to allow you to build a relationship with one company. This saves you time in hunting around to find what you need from different suppliers and allows you to build confidence in the company in question.
