Why Purchase Used Survey Equipment

In these budget conscious days we have to ask the question whether You Should Buy Used Survey Equipment? The important question is whether it would be a sound investment to buy used surveying equipment. Many companies are correctly worried about purchasing a piece of sub-standard kit that will cause problems when being used out on site. There is nothing harder than trying to survey with unreliable equipment and we can all recognize the potential problems that this would cause.

So on one hand we call for advanced equipment to do the job reliably and efficiently. But on the other hand we demand to reduce costs. Purchasing used survey equipment from a trustworthy supplier is an obvious solution to the problem. But here are some useful tips on how this can be done successfully.

Tip 1 - Always look for equipment originally manufactured by top reliable suppliers like Leica. You know that this type of equipment was built to last.. You can be sure you are getting equipment that will do the job. You know that you will be able to get technical information and support if you require it.

Tip 2 - Always buy your used survey equipment from a reputable supplier/agent. Choose a company who has been in the business for a while with a good reputation. Preferably a company who deals in both new and secondhand equipment and who can provide the necessary technical backup and support.


Tip 3 - Always check that the survey equipment is fully reconditioned/serviced, fully calibrated and certified and provided with a suitable warranty period. The warranty period should extend beyond the instruments first use so that you get a chance to fully check its operation.
