The Trans-Auto-D company (Ukraine) now offers the widest range of semi-trailers that allows to satisfy inquiries of the most exacting buyers. At the same time, many potential customers have recently been faced with a very important issue regarding the economically sound and competent choice of equipment and machinery.
What to choose: a new semi-trailer or equipment that already has a certain (sometimes quite significant) mileage? Experts say that in this situation it is necessary to take into account several factors and nuances.
It is important to understand where and in what area of transportation your semi-trailer will be involved. It is necessary to take into account the maximum load and intensity of use, the main type of pavement in the area where the equipment is used. In addition, it is important and critical to assess your own financial capabilities.
What are the main advantages and advantages of both options? When should you prefer to buy new equipment, and in what situations is it better to save and take an old semi-trailer in normal working condition?
Ask any responsible person in the fleet: what would he prefer – new models of equipment or have already departed a certain mileage of the model. The answer will almost always be simple: new equipment that will not require major investments, maintenance and repair for at least a few years.
Indeed, the new models are advantageous in terms of operation in the early years. Any special equipment requires a very specific maintenance, which every year becomes more expensive and expensive to produce motor resources.
If you decide to choose a new semi-trailer, you should pay attention to such basic parameters of special equipment as:
The main obstacle to purchase and the main disadvantage is the relatively high price per unit of equipment: the cost of one new semi-trailer can sometimes be compared with the price of two quite decent second-hand counterparts.
Buying a used semi-trailer is more cost-effective in terms of initial investment, but “bringing to mind” and eliminating shortcomings may require some time and additional financial injections.
When buying old options, pay attention to the need for the most complete diagnosis, which will allow you to understand the real state of the equipment. Particular emphasis is placed on checking the condition of the frame, coupling devices, brakes, axles and suspension systems.
Those who have long been engaged in the purchase of semi-trailers (both new and old with mileage), immediately refuse even the seemingly advantageous offers on used models, if there are traces of artisanal welding repairs or changes in the operation of hydraulics.
It is necessary to buy the semi-trailer with run only after the complete diagnostics of the equipment is executed. If the tests showed the normal condition of the vehicle, the functionality of the main components and elements, as well as sufficient residual engine life, you can safely invest in the purchase.
