Benefits of Selling Used Equipment
There are a number of benefits to selling your new, idle, surplus, or used equipment.
- Recover Unused Capital: turn idle assets into working capital
- Free Up Storage: free up storage or production floor space; storing idle assets can be costly. Selling used equipment allows you to free up storage space so you can store other assets or eliminate the storage cost altogether
- Eliminate Maintenance on Unused Equipment: even unused industrial equipment must be properly maintained in order to ensure its viability; by selling unused equipment you can recoup that maintenance cost and allocate it to more beneficial assets

Selling Used Industrial Equipment FAQs
How can I sell my equipment?
The process for selling equipment to Federal Equipment is dependent on how many items you are looking to sell. No matter what, the process starts with identifying items to be sold and sending photos. It is especially helpful to include a photo of the nameplate. If it is just one or a few machines, FEC can offer cash, credit to our online store, or trade the item for something in our inventory. If you have more than a few items to sell, we may purchase the items for our inventory or decide to hold an auction. Many factors determine these next steps. In addition to equipment, Federal Equipment will sometimes purchase buildings and land.
