There are always two aspects of every matter. About selling heavy equipment in the domestic market also, there is the same issue. One factor is that there are very few buyers for heavy equipment; the other factor is that, if you can sell your heavy equipment properly, then you can get a big profit. In the modern civilization, almost every field requires heavy equipment for doing the task. Whether it is a farmer, or a construction worker or simply a worker at a factory, every person in every field, needs heavy equipment for doing the job. Man has become so dependent on machines that working without this heavy equipment is unimaginable. Therefore, there is no doubt always a need for heavy equipment. The selling and buying heavy equipment is an ongoing and continuous process.

When a person needs to sell his heavy equipment or needs to buy heavy equipment the first thing he does is to go a dealers or broker. Unlike the automobile market, the heavy equipment market has different segments and for buying or selling a particular type of heavy equipment, you have to go the correct dealer or broker. This however does not need any license. In most of the states these brokers regulate the business as automotive dealers.

Five things to do if you want to sell your heavy equipment in the domestic sphere:

  • You must check the market trend and rate. If production is high and economy is down, then the companies will themselves sell the equipment at a low cost and the market for reselling your heavy equipment will not be suitable for the time being. Therefore, demand, market price and other conditions must be checked before selling the equipment. Not all the time there is a market for a reselling of heavy equipment like the market for reselling a used car.
  • Learn the local trend, the companies selling equipment there and decide which category of equipment will be sold best there. If you want to sell a high rise construction equipment at a farming zone or a farming equipment at a industrial belt, then also you will be losing the market.
  •  If you want to have a good profit, then making the customer aware of all the features of the equipment is very important. Hiring a person who can do this job will help you sell your equipment.
  • If you want to have a good business then you must keep a range of heavy equipment available to you. When the equipment companies will give you discount, then you can by them for reselling. It is a very good idea for making a bright business in this field.

Business comes with ups and downs. When it is on the upward scale, you may have nothing to worry about, other than meeting the turnaround time to complete the projects and improving the quality of work. However, when the business takes a fall and you do not have ample of projects in hand, it becomes all the more difficult to carry on with the operational expenses like running the office, paying salary to the employees, spending good amount of money in maintaining the equipments so on and so forth.

This is perhaps when you have to take the call of cost cutting and doing away with things that are not useful to you for the time being. You need to check on factors that cost more to the business so that things like that can be curtailed and you can eventually save some money for the business. In addition to this, it also makes much sense to do away with some heavy equipment which you feel you may not need for the next few months. Well, you do not have to sell them off to keep on with your business; all you got to do is rent it to someone who needs them and is also ready to pay its price.

You may find many new guys having joined the camp who have small projects in hand and for that purpose they need heavy equipment. Since they are new to this business, they in no way intend to buy brand new heavy equipment. Knowing the cost of it, it may not permit them to buy a new one. Therefore, they would be always in the hunt of people willing to rent heavy equipments to them. You only need to identify their needs and if you’re able to fulfil them with the stock you have, that is it.

Before you rent any heavy equipment, it is important for you to identify the equipment you won’t need for the next few months. Because once you let it out, you will not be in a position to get it back before the term expires. Therefore, you need to make sure that the stuff you would be letting out will not have any need to your business for the next few months. You also have to check the number of equipment you can let out on the basis of the existing projects in hand. In no way, it should hamper the progress of your current projects. It would make more sense to take help of some professionals who can guide you well on this issue.

You may also ask the professional to help you making an agreement where he will enter the entire clause that will protect the rights of both the giver and the taker. Clauses like the tenure of the agreement, rent to be taken and actions to be taken if there happens to be a breach of the contract must be mentioned clearly in the agreement. This should be mutually agreed by both the parties and only then you should let out the machine.

Do Not Let Your Enemy Drive In Your Heavy Equipment – Keep It Away From Dust

Heavy equipment are huge load takers which is they have the best of the engines installed in them. Their engines are sophistically designed so that it can take maximum pressure without losing its balance and do not break off in the mid. However, due to working continuously for hours without taking a halt for a single minute makes the engine immensely hot and desperately needs to cool off before moving any further. It is therefore the equipments should have quality air filters which can flush in fresh air from outside and can help to cool the engine and also radiator coolants which can spray a mixture of water and anti freeze through the chambers of the engine and can eventually cool the engine so that it can once again perform with the same energy and vitality.

One thing which plays a significant role in heating the engine faster is dust. Though being in a construction site, you can’t do away with dust but one can certainly take measures to deal with it and thus keep the machine working round the clock. Before we talking what one needs to do to keep the machines away from dust, it is important to first understand how dust can play a mighty role in developing complications in the machine.

The engine of any vehicle is made up of several moving parts. As and when these parts move with great force, it develops friction which in turn heats the engine. In order to keep the engine moving, oil is pumped into the system which keeps it lubricated and also keeps the level of friction low and ultimately helps in keeping the heat on check. Now when it comes in contact with dust, it gets mixed in the oil that is supplied to lubricate the moving parts of the engine which in turn increases the friction than reducing it. This results in the engine becoming dangerously hot in no time leading to severe complications in the machine.

If remain unchecked, the dust may travel to other parts of the machine ceasing them to function appropriately. In other words, it means that in a matter of days, your sophistically designed equipment will get ruined by something it could have been easily protected. To get that repaired is the next big task as the mechanic will spend days to open all the parts, clean the dust, lubricate those parts once again and then check if it works like before. For those many days, you’re without a machine and that is taking a toll on your work.

In order to avoid such a situation, the simplest option is to keep the machine maintained at all times. You can’t avoid dust as that is an inseparable part of your work. What could be done is after you end the day’s work; spend some time to clean the outer part of the equipment with a cloth. Check if there are any openings which can allow dust to enter in. That should be sealed and get it serviced after every month depending upon the kind of activity it has to endure.

These few simple things will ensure that the life of your machine is increased by many more years and you don’t have to take the trouble to get it repaired every now and then.

Applying Some Nice Paint Can Give Cool Looks to Your Heavy Equipment

Heavy equipments are the one that takes the maximum dust working on the construction site and that ultimately deteriorates the skin of the machine. It loses its looks and start looking old which may give others the impression that you are working with old machine even if you have just bought it around a year ago. As it is important to take great care of the parts of the machine so that it does not breaks down in mid of important project, in the same way it becomes highly imperative to put some brush on the equipment at regular intervals. The frequency largely depends on the kind of work it has to undergo on a daily basis. Depending on that, one can decide how often he needs to paint the stuff.

Putting stickers is another option to give some real cool looks to your machine. However, you can’t stick the entire body of the equipment with stickers. Other than that, if you have many machines working on different projects, it would be way too expensive for you to put them on each of your machine. In addition to this, there are high chances of the stickers getting washed off during servicing. Well, that may not be of much use then. However, a combination of both painting the equipment and sticking stickers on its body makes much more sense than just doing either of the activity. A thought on this is worth giving.

Let us now talk about few points why we should paint the heavy equipment.

Preventing it from rusting:-  We all must be having a vehicle at home and we take intense care of it. We clean the stuff probably every week and if there happens to be some dent for some reason, we try to get that fixed in no time. If we see it losing its shine, we try to get that coloured so that it looks new. We also take special care to prevent it from getting wet in the rain as that might rust the vehicle and lessen its life. So you put that in your garage and it’s safe. Well, the same goes for heavy equipments. It’s just that they don’t have a garage especially when they are on the fields. At the most, you can put a cover on it which will prevent it from getting wet. However, many times we simply do away with it which causes it to lose its shine earlier that it should have. Therefore, it is of due importance to paint the machine as and when it starts appearing to look a bit pale or fainted (in terms of colour). You can also use anti-rusting chemicals which will strengthen the quality of the paint and will prevent the machine from catching rust.

Give an impression on others:-  At times when you’re expecting a huge project, the giver of the project wants to check if you have the infrastructure to complete the project in time. Obviously, they would also like to take a peep on your machines and if they find it in poor state that might give them a negative vibe about you. So painting the stuff will always keep it new and putting some stickers here and there will only set a positive impression on others.
