Second Hand doesn’t have to mean ‘Second best’
Similarly to many industries using plant machinery, the bakery equipment market has a lively Used Equipment scene and it allows many companies to benefit from the advantages of buying second hand.
As with many industries new capital equipment can be expensive, and therefore bakeries and food producers often source kit from the second hand market to take advantage of the cost savings, but there are other considerations that can make buying used a better answer.
Availability
Whilst we keep stock of many of the most popular equipment ranges to allow for quick delivery it is used equipment that allows us to provide immediate delivery of some specialist machinery items, we keep stock of over 1500 used machinery items that are ready for immediate dispatch.
Function
Some older machines are great in terms of function and the phase ‘If it ain't broke, don’t fix it’ comes to mind. The mechanical operation and strong build of some machines means they are often unrivalled and worth their weight in gold*. Pie machinery and Hobart mixers are some examples of great design and engineering and these kinds of items become workhorses for many bakeries.
*don’t worry they won’t cost their weight in gold!
Price and Condition
As well as being cheaper than new machinery due to age and the very fact the item has had a previous home and owner, second hand machines are available in various conditions thus meaning potentially larger savings. We stock items that are in Ex bakery condition right the way through to Re-manufactured, therefore can provide customers with machinery to suit their budget and buying conditions.
Packages
Often it’s a whole package of equipment that’s required, perhaps for a new site or new bakery business, in these instances it’s often sensible to opt for second hand equipment where the outlay is often less and therefore risk managed.
Whatever your reasons for buying Second hand machinery, we have a huge experience in the supply of equipment, we are happy to discuss any requirements you may have.
