At Thompson Machinery, buying used means receiving more value than you would with pre-owned equipment from other companies. Our technicians service every used machine we receive to ensure it is as good as new. We also offer preventive maintenance plans and deliver reliable service whenever you need us to encourage optimal performance.
Advantages of Buying Used Heavy Equipment
Buying used equipment comes with some unique advantages. Many customers opt for pre-owned models over brand-new equipment because they can provide:
- Excellent value: Used equipment is more cost-effective upfront. If you can find a machine that is still in optimal condition, you receive a great deal while enjoying a long service life.
- More flexibility: Depending on what is available in stock, choosing a used model often allows you to select and buy a machine off the lot, taking it home the same day. Shorter lead times mean more immediate access to the equipment you need to stay productive and meet project deadlines.
- Sustainability: Some companies discard their used equipment when they purchase a new model, even if the original is still in good condition. Buying these used machines prevents them from ending up in a junkyard, which has a positive effect on the environment.
Our Used Heavy Construction Equipment
A used machine can grow your business and job productivity. Thompson Machinery can help you find the ideal machine within your budget to match your project needs.
Cat® Equipment
Our selection of used Cat® equipment meets and exceeds performance, maintenance and quality standards. When you purchase a certified Cat product, it will be ready to use as soon as you get it to the job site. If not, your machine carries a one-year or 1,000-hour powertrain warranty.
Our large inventory collection fluctuates regularly, but we often carry a selection of:
- Articulated trucks: Haul large loads with our used articulated trucks, such as the Cat 740, 745 and others.
- Loaders: Thompson Machinery has a wide selection of used loaders, such as backhoe loaders, compact track loaders, skid steer loaders, track-type loaders and wheel loaders.
- Compactors: We can provide a used compactor for your next soil, landfill or paving project.
- Excavators: Dig to new depths using a Cat excavator, such as the 302.707CR or 303.5E2 models.
- Telehandlers: A used telehandler can tackle projects in the construction and forestry industries, complete with its integrated tool carrier.
- Dozers: Make your job easier and more efficient using a track-type or wheel dozer.
General Equipment
Thompson Machinery can also help with general equipment needs to aid all aspects of the job. We offer:
- Air compressors
- Concrete equipment
- Lighting
- Off-highway trucks and tractors
- Water equipment
Aerial Equipment
Supplement your construction site using aerial lifts. These platforms can raise individuals to varying heights instead of using ladders. Lifts are a much safer alternative and can move easily across a worksite, allowing greater productivity in hard-to-reach areas.
On-Highway Trucks
When it’s time to expand your on-highway truck fleet, turn to Thompson Machinery. Used on-highway trucks have the durability and endurance to haul trailers and equipment across the country. We support companies across the United States with our extensive inventory. Specifically, we often carry Freightliner models, such as the CASCADIA 125 and COLUMBIA 120 — often in various colors.
Power Systems
We also carry various diesel and gas generators to power your building. You may want to invest in a used generator to replace a broken power system with the same model. You could also choose a power system a year or two newer than your current model as an upgrade.
