New Heavy Equipment Buying Guide

Purchasing new heavy equipment can be a daunting task. Just finding the right model for you is often easier said than done. Luckily, the experts at Triangle Equipment Group have created this helpful guide to making the most out of your new heavy equipment purchase.

Set a Budget

As with any major purchase, you should always set a budget before you go out and buy a piece of new heavy equipment. Having a set limit on how much you are willing to spend will help narrow down your options and keep things in perspective. Remember, price and quality do not always 100% correlate. 

Size and Capacity                                     

Larger and more powerful heavy equipment tends to be capable of doing more work in less time. However, larger heavy equipment also costs more, is harder to maneuver in tight spaces, and may be a poor choice for areas that have unstable ground. There are many situations in which a smaller piece of new heavy equipment will be the better option, so keep your work sites in mind. 

Brand and Model

Different brands have different philosophies in regards to designing heavy equipment. While two machines of the same type from different brands may share the same basic structure, how they perform can vary widely depending on what the manufacturer emphasizes in its models. Speaking of which, most manufacturers produce a range of different models to better meet the needs of varying industries and clients. That’s why we encourage you to do some research to help narrow down what model you want to purchase.
