Request Pre-Purchase Inspection

Reduce uncertainty before commercial commitment

Photographs, equipment listings and seller descriptions may not provide enough information for a reliable purchasing decision. A pre-purchase inspection provides an independent view of the equipment as presented at the inspection location. The inspection scope is prepared according to the machine type, buyer concerns, documentation and operational access. It may include visual checks, equipment identification, document review, control-system review and permitted functional observations.
