Used Port Equipment to Optimize Your Operations
At the IANA Expo 2024, it became clear that having quality port equipment is essential to staying competitive in an increasingly demanding environment. That's why we at JYC Equipment would like to share four tips on how to acquire used port equipment successfully:
1. Evaluate the Specific Needs of Your Operation
Before starting your search, define the specific needs of your operation. Do you need a Reachstacker for handling containers in tight spaces or a Mobile Harbor Crane for heavier loads? Choosing the right equipment will help you optimize your investment and ensure it meets your operational requirements.
2. Consider Age and Hours of Use
Age and hours of use are crucial factors when assessing the condition of used equipment. Older equipment or equipment with more hours may require more maintenance, but if it has been well maintained, it could still be a viable option. At JYC Equipment, we specialize in late-model equipment that is in excellent working condition.
3. Check the Warranty Offered
Ensure you fully understand the terms of the warranty before finalizing your purchase. At JYC Equipment, we offer a 30-day warranty on engines and transmissions, providing peace of mind for your significant investment.
4. Consider Logistics and Transportation Costs
Transporting port equipment can be complex and costly, especially if buying from a distant location. It is important to factor in these additional costs. At JYC Equipment, we handle all logistics, simplifying the process and allowing you to focus on other priorities while we manage the transportation.
