CERTIFIED USED EQUIPMENT PROVIDES PEACE OF MIND

Regardless of what type of used heavy equipment you’re searching for, there are five critical areas to consider:

• engine/transmission
• hydraulics/work tools
• tracks/tires
• chassis and cab

You want to be sure that a technician has closely inspected these areas.

While quality and value are a part of each one of our used heavy equipment sales, certified used heavy machinery gives you additional peace of mind. A piece of certified used equipment must pass a rigorous 140-point check by our certified technicians to qualify as a “good as new” machine, and therefore be worthy of the certified used status. In addition to passing a thorough inspection by certified technicians, all of this equipment is considered certified low hours used heavy equipment.

At Western States Cat, every piece of certified used Cat equipment for sale includes:

• Caterpillar used warranty that is good at any dealership
• 1,000, 12-month powertrain and hydraulic warranty protection program
• Assurance of documented, up-to-date service with genuine Cat parts
• Caterpillar financing options
• Low hours, minimum wear on tire, undercarriage and ground engaging tools
• Rigorous 140-point check completed by certified technicians

By taking advantage your dealer’s certified used cat equipment, you can have peace of mind and avoid many of the risks that come with a piece of used heavy equipment.

Used Cat cold planers can help you in the first steps of paving as you remove the worn or deteriorated pavement, revealing an uneven surface that you can then overlay with asphalt. Our road reclaimers will do their part by pulverizing the asphalt layer and mixing it with the underlying base to stabilize deteriorated roadways.

After the asphalt paver has helped you apply a fresh, thick layer of asphalt, one of our used Cat tandem vibratory rollers will work to create a smooth surface.

OWNERSHIP VS. RENTAL

The debate of owning versus renting a piece of equipment is an important one. As long as you can store the machine and use it on a recurring basis, owning a piece of equipment is usually the best decision.

COST

While people usually consider cost a benefit of renting, they often only make comparisons between rent costs and the costs of new pieces of equipment. Purchasing a certified used piece of equipment is more cost-effective than buying new machinery, and frequently more economical than renting in the long-term. In addition to upfront costs, there are additional costs to consider, like the cost of transportation. If you’re renting a piece of heavy equipment, chances are you will need to transport it from the rental company. These transportation costs can add up quickly.

INTELLIGENCE

When you own a piece of equipment, you have the benefit of intelligence — meaning that over time, as you own it, you can track it through telemetrics and learn how to reduce job site costs, increase productivity and track operator behavior to ensure safety and optimum use. This intelligence can save you money on a recurring basis, making it even more valuable.

SCHEDULING

Regardless of what industry you’re in, project schedules change. It may be due to weather, parts of the project not getting done on time or one of many other things. If you’ve rented a piece of equipment for a certain number of days and the schedule gets delayed, you may be paying for the machine to sit. On the other hand, if there’s a delay and someone else has rented that particular piece of equipment, you’re out of luck.

If you own a piece of equipment, it’s available to you 24/7. You can be flexible with schedules and minimize downtime because you have what you need ready at all times.

RESALE

Purchasing a piece of heavy equipment is indeed an investment. If you get to a point where you don’t use the machine, you have the opportunity to sell it. It’s essential to consider brand power in your purchase, as some pieces of equipment hold value better than others.

MAINTENANCE

You also need to consider maintenance. One of the critical advantages of renting equipment is that the rental company manages upkeep, meaning there’s one less thing for the renter to worry about. But if you purchase a piece of Cat certified used heavy equipment, you benefit from a similar perk, as the warranty and network of service technicians that comes with these “like new” machines will cover many of your maintenance needs.

Cat is committed to the success of their partners through, not just the sale of quality and certified used heavy equipment, but also the maintenance support of that equipment. The value of used machinery, especially from a brand as powerful as Caterpillar, is significant and worth the investment — whether you’re in construction, landscaping, forestry, demolition and scrap, power generation or another industry altogether.
