Potential Risks of Purchasing a Second-hand Machine
Many second-hand pallet wrappers available online are sold by end-users who may be looking to offload machines experiencing functionality issues or constant problems. In other cases, they may have outgrown their machine's specifications or shifted their logistical operations, making this machine no longer required.
Â
Sourcing Spare Parts for Used Machines
While there are several well-known brands in the pallet wrapping industry, many machines are generic imports, making it challenging to find parts or support from the manufacturer.
In cases where the importing company has ceased operations, obtaining assistance or spare parts can become even more difficult.
To mitigate this, we recommend verifying the availability of overseas manufacturers or local agents before investing in a used pallet wrapper.
Â
Caution When Buying Expensive Pallet Wrappers Second-hand
It's tempting to spot a high-quality pallet wrapper at a significantly reduced price, but please be cautious. Purchasing an expensive pallet wrapper second-hand may seem like a bargain, akin to buying a well-known luxury car brand at a fraction of the cost. However, the cost of replacement parts for these machines remains consistent, potentially resulting in unforeseen expenses down the line.
Â
Why Opting for a New Machine Is Often Preferable
At MPS Packaging, we advocate for investing in new pallet wrapping machines for several compelling reasons:
• Covered by warranty, providing peace of mind and protection against defects.
• Guaranteed spare parts supply for over a decade, ensuring ongoing support and maintenance.
• Operational support from the manufacturer, offering assistance and expertise when needed.
• Incorporation of design improvements in new models, resulting in reduced maintenance requirements and enhanced efficiency.
Ultimately, while used pallet wrapping machines may offer initial cost savings upfront,, investing in a new machine often proves to be a more reliable and cost-effective solution in the long run.
