Heavy Equipment Buying Guide
Whether you work in the forestry, agriculture, ranching, construction, or mining industry, you’ll need various pieces of heavy equipment to handle the tasks at your work site.

Identify Your Requirements
The first thing you’ll need to determine is the projects you intend to tackle with your piece of heavy equipment. Think about the size of your worksite and the duration for which you require the machinery, and then narrow down your choices to models that match.
Create a Budget
Next, you’ll want to think about how much you can afford to buy a piece of heavy equipment. Consider the amount you’ll need to pay every month to get your machine, including the maintenance costs and insurance premiums.
Think About Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your heavy machinery will help extend its lifespan and make it more efficient for your use. You can perform some daily maintenance tasks yourself if you have the tools and expertise. However, for complex repairs and detailed servicing, you’ll need expert assistance—make sure that you have the funds to pay for service visits.
Consider Storage Needs
Finally, you’ll want to think about where you’ll store your heavy equipment when it’s not in use. You might want to use your garage or warehouse to keep your machine but remember that it will take up valuable indoor space, depending on its size. Alternatively, you might want to take an off-site storage facility for rent. However, this will mean additional expenses. Think about all the options you have and then decide accordingly.
