Finding Material Handling Equipment Near You

A Complete Guide to Buying, Selling, and Next Steps
Are you searching for “material handling equipment near me” or thinking about buying or selling equipment? This guide provides the information you need to make better-informed decisions. Learn about the different types of material handling equipment, how to decide between buying new or used, and how to find an ethical, reputable supplier.

What Is Material Handling Equipment?

Material handling equipment encompasses the various machines, tools, vehicles, and solutions used for effective loading, unloading, storage, movement, and control of goods and materials within a warehouse, manufacturing plant, or distribution facility.

Material handling equipment provides solutions for:

Moving goods within a warehouse
Positioning goods in the places it is needed
Storing and protecting products
Controlling and monitoring processes

Types of
Material Handling
Equipment

Material handler equipment includes a broad range of items, including industrial material handling equipment and automated material handling equipment. This specialized equipment is generally in one of four categories:

New vs. Used Material Handling Equipment

New equipment is preferable, providing modern solutions and warranty coverage.

However, it is not always the best solution. You will want to examine whether your needs can be met just as well by buying used material handling equipment. While it may not be state-of-the-art, it may work just fine, and you can save a significant amount of money.

For example, well-maintained pallet racks can last for decades. Used pallet racks might save you as much as 30% to 50% over buying new, which is beneficial when budgets are tight or you want to spend money elsewhere.

The Benefits of Buying Used Material Handling Equipment
Immediate Availability

Avoid long lead times on new or custom-ordered equipment and quickly meet operational demands or replace broken machinery to minimize downtime.

Sustainability & Proven Performance

Reduce waste and raw material consumption while benefiting from durable, warehouse-tested equipment with a track record of reliability.

Optimized Capital Investment

Stretch your budget by acquiring used equipment for seasonal peaks or short-term needs, avoiding unnecessary long-term expenditures.

Balanced Affordability & Performance

The right used equipment offers cost savings without sacrificing quality, but working with a trusted supplier is essential to ensure true value.

Material Handler Equipment:

More Than Just Price

As warehousing and fulfillment challenges intensify, purchasing equipment based solely on cost is shortsighted. You need an experienced partner who takes a consultative approach to understand your operations and design optimized solutions.

Thorough Assessments
Workflow Analysis

Evaluating order processing steps, bottlenecks, redundancy, excess motion, and other optimization opportunities.

Peak Volume Analysis

Accounting for fluctuating order volumes and capacity, including seasonal spikes.

Space Constraint Analysis

Assessing available storage density and layout equipment for efficient material flow within existing square footage or racking.

Safety and Bottleneck Analysis

Preventing equipment additions from introducing new operator hazards or chokepoints that limit throughput.

Automation Analysis

Reviewing current automation technologies to identify areas where added capabilities could boost efficiency.

Warehouse Design and Operations Recommendations

You should also look for new and used material handling equipment suppliers with extensive experience in warehouse design. They can help you configure equipment to work within an optimized facility layout and offer suggestions to improve operations.

Industry Knowledge

Not all sellers and resellers are highly knowledgeable about new technologies or products. They may know their product line but not others. Look for a supplier that stays current and knows the material handling industry as a whole.

There have been significant advances in material handling in the past few years, especially in the domain of automated material handling equipment. You want a partner who is on top of evolving technology and has experience with hardware and software controls.

Customized Solutions

While there are standards in the industry, every facility has its own flow and way of doing business. Depending on the legacy equipment you have and how you plan to use new equipment, make sure your partner is capable of creating customized solutions for you. Even with the same equipment, it is often the nuances of where and how it is placed that ensure an optimized workflow.

Finding an Ethical, Reputable Material Handling Equipment Supplier

Finding an Ethical, Reputable Material Handling Equipment Supplier

Whether you are buying or selling, working with an ethical supplier is crucial. When you are buying new equipment, you typically get warranty coverage. However, buying used material handler equipment is a different story. If you buy from an unknown seller—or someone who is not upfront about any defects—you could be setting yourself up for costly problems or safety issues.

Buying Used Equipment

When sourcing used material handling equipment, hidden issues and unfair pricing can lead to costly headaches. Even minor dents can cause failures over time, and some sellers may conceal wear to secure a sale, leaving buyers with performance issues.

A reliable supplier transparently discloses equipment conditions, from specifications to cosmetic flaws, helping you make informed decisions. Ethical suppliers offer fair market pricing upfront, preventing inflated costs and unexpected expenses. They also identify potential compatibility issues, as not all components are interchangeable.

Beyond avoiding risks, the right supplier acts as a partner, analyzing your inventory systems and workflows to provide tailored solutions that enhance efficiency and maximize value.

Selling Used Equipment

The same strategy applies when selling equipment, whether closing a business, liquidating assets, upgrading, or offloading excess material handlers. Finding a trustworthy broker is key.

To maximize value, research fair market prices using industry indexes, auction data, and valuation resources, keeping in mind that older equipment may depreciate due to evolving efficiency and safety standards. Market conditions, such as large liquidations, can also impact resale prices.

Accurately catalog your equipment, including manufacturers, product IDs, serial numbers, images, and maintenance records. Transparency about cosmetic flaws and performance ensures a smoother sales process and buyer confidence.

Partnering with an experienced reseller or liquidator like Conesco streamlines sales, leveraging a vast buyer network to secure optimal prices.
