Owing to its high demand, used electrical equipment has solidly etched out its niche in the market place. It’s a naturally vigorous market built on cost saving/reliability ratios.
The six majors:
- Price…On average you can expect to save up to 75% of the cost of new equipment.
- Availability…Manufacturers do not keep inventories of many types of new equipment. Lead times for new equipment orders can stretch from weeks to months. Used equipment can be in your hands as fast as shipping and preparation allow. The operative word here at MIDWEST Switchgear Div. is fast. Our goal is to get the equipment to the customer as fast as time permits.
- Warranty…Depending on the specific type of equipment purchased, a typical warranty on used equipment is one year. (The same time as the manufacturer’s warranty on new equipment).
- Quality…Used equipment at MIDWEST is tested before it is shipped. Test results, be they megger, contact resistance, overcurrent, winding resistance, hypotential etc., must meet national specifications before equipment goes out the door.
- Only the used equipment market can fill the needs of existing equipment no longer manufactured.
- Here at MIDWEST Switchgear Div., specific equipment needs are engineered to fit customer special application needs.
