Nothing beats a trusted brand like Caterpillar when it comes to
specialist equipment like generator sets and related accessories. While brand
new units are worth the investment, they still cost a fair bit of money—and
buying a good pre-used unit is often the most practical choice. Whether you
need a portable power setup or a backup system for your establishment, there
are a number of places from where you can purchase a
used generator set in great condition. Here are a few places you can try
out if you are looking for one on a budget:
• Refurbishing companies. This is by far the best way to find
affordable used caterpillar generators for sale. Look for a company that
specialize in acquiring old used equipment, usually form construction firms or
factories. They rebuild and refurbish these sets for resale or rental. Try to
scout around and you'd be surprised at the assortment of gear they have.
• Equipment rental companies. You can also try your luck with contractors
and building companies that sell out older used equipment when they upgrade to
newer ones. These usually post ads announcing their warehouse sales. You can
get pretty decent prices on these trade and auction events, though some of the
equipment may need work. If you are on a budget and are prepared to do some
repairs, these are a good place to source your equipment.
• Try Craigslist. When all else fails, you can try looking
online. You never know what you would find up on sale. Of course, you have to
be careful. Avoid trying to get equipment sight unseen to avoid scams. If it is
too good to be true, it probably is. It is also best to have someone with
knowledge about generator sets with you when you scope out a potential buy so
you can be sure you are getting a good unit before you commit to the purchase.
