Facing a difficult business landscape, the test instrumentation supply chain is being forced to evolve radically, with companies seeking out sourcing options that have less impact on their budget. The purchasing of used test equipment is becoming increasingly attractive when compared to the considerable expense that can be associated with the more common approach of acquiring brand new items of equipment. Until now, however, finding a reputable supplier with an expansive portfolio of such products, as well as in-depth technical support, has proved very difficult. This has meant that engineering and procurement staff, in many cases, feel uneasy about buying used equipment.
Conventional used equipment brokers usually have relatively small operations. They will have bought up items of equipment from a wide variety of different sources. Often they will not have detailed records regarding the length of time the equipment has been in operation, how it has been treated over this period, or how regularly it has received maintenance or recalibration. This make it challenging to assess the equipment’s overall condition. Also because brokers only hold a limited number of items in stock, they are unable to offer much in terms of product choice – with the customer possibly having to make do with a test product that is not that well suited to the task. Generally speaking the post-sales technical support offered by used equipment brokers is not likely to be particularly comprehensive either.
The arrival of a new, highly responsive, large scale supplier within the market has meant that the arguments against purchasing used equipment can be countered. It presents an extremely effective way by which companies can gain access to the test hardware they need without heavy impact on their finances. Furthermore, it offers the broadest possible choice of products meeting the highest quality standards, backed up by a comprehensive post sales service.
