Many people do not realize the labs, hospitals and testing facilities often choose to buy used medical equipment rather than new. This offers several advantages to the facility, including lower costs, the ability to upgrade and even the option for better financing rates through companies that buy and sell medical equipment.
There are some very well established companies that have been in the market to buy and sell medical equipment for decades. These American-based companies work with some of the largest testing facilities across the country to continue to provide like-new used or refurbished equipment while saving the buyer money.
Some of the key factors in looking for the best used medical equipment companies to work with either to make a purchase or to sell your existing equipment have specific features and practices in common. These include the following three key elements of their business.
National Network
These companies are able to buy and sell medical equipment as they have established a national network of labs, testing facilities and hospitals that work with the company.
With this network, it is possible to find specifically used equipment for their customers while also helping out the facility by removing unused or unwanted equipment at a fair market price.
Highly Experienced Staff and Technicians
The best companies in the industry have staff that knows the equipment they buy and sell. They are able to talk about the features of specific equipment as well as provide information on different models and options.
The technicians are fully trained and certified and provide refurbishing to Original Equipment Manufacturer standards. They also fully test all equipment to ensure full operation before listing the equipment.
In addition, they are able to listen to the needs of the buyer and suggest equipment that is a good match for functions, testing features and price. This is an essential benefit to both buyers and sellers, helping to streamline the process.
