Description of Condition, Used Machinery

Throughout our website, we refer to used equipment in various conditions.  They are:

Nearly New: Similar condition to new, except the machine may have been sitting for a period of time or perhaps operated in a short test-run regimen.

Excellent: Describes a machine that is complete and ready to run.

Very Good: A machine that may need seals or other readily serviced parts renewed but otherwise there are no major mechanical faults.  Machine can be placed back in service relatively quickly.

Good: As very good above, except there is more normal wear on the machine. This machine would require minimal service work to put back into operating condition.

Fair: This usually represents a complete machine taken from service that is complete and operating; however, the machine should have some maintenance effort performed before placing this unit back in service.  (Ex. Gearboxes are working but may have leaky seals; air cylinders are functioning but may leak air, etc.)

Poor: A machine that would require major reconditioning and refurbishment to bring back into service.  It may be missing parts.

Note: Any changeparts that may be needed for your particular application must be addressed separately for machines of any condition.
