There is no question that shiny new machinery has great appeal and purchasing pre-owned can feel risky. You may wonder if the equipment is going to work when it arrives or if it's going to last. The truth is, purchasing from Genemco isn't a risk at all. In fact, the long-term benefits of purchasing pre-owned may outweigh the initial appeal of flashy new equipment.
Below, are the most significant advantages of purchasing pre-owned machinery and why they may be a better investment for you and your business in the long run.

1: Cash Flow
A lower price for used equipment means less impact on your cash flow. With these savings, you may even have leftover funds to invest in other equipment that will help you grow your business. For tips on getting the most bang for your buck, check out our article on how to haggle.

2: Wait Time
Most new dealers do not have their inventory on-site. Which means you have to calculate the wait time between when you place the order and when you receive it. With second-hand equipment that is not a concern because we have all of our inventory of equipment on-site. This means that it's ready to ship to you, globally. We can have your equipment on a truck as early as the next day!

3: Large Inventory 
Genemco is the largest pre-owned ammonia refrigeration dealer in the world and we ship all over the world. We have a 700,000 square foot warehouse that sits on a 30-acre equipment yard. If you're looking for something specific that you don't see on our website, give us a call! We are constantly purchasing equipment and not all of it makes it onto the website right away. Our customers tend to have the best luck when keeping an open mind in the buying process. If we do not have the specific item that you are looking for, we will share with you similar model numbers or horsepower options. Oftentimes we can find a solution with something in stock that will do the job adequately or possibly better than you were initially thinking.


4: Service
We care. All of our customers are VIPs! From your initial contact with us until well after your equipment has arrived to your operation, you will feel the top-notch customer service from our team of bi-lingual machinery experts. Our company is family-owned and operated and though we are the largest pre-owned ammonia refrigeration company on the globe we have humble roots. We are also constantly improving the buying experience for our customers. We recently added the option for your purchased equipment to be custom painted. In addition, we launched a new top-of-the-line website to help improve the customer buying experience.


5: Environment
Rather than having equipment added to the increasingly hazardous chain of landfills, we purchase it and give it a second life by reselling and at times refurbishing it. Unlike used cars and other pre-owned machinery, industrial food processing and refrigeration equipment is different. Its value and quality is based more on runtime. There is a massive number of discarded equipment that still has numerous years of highly effective output left in them. It is our goal at Genemco to keep these high-quality machines running efficiently, producing quality output, and keeping them out of landfills!
