Pre-Purchase Inspections by ESM

Don’t Buy a $50,000 Lemon – Inspections starting from $695 + GST

🛑 A Clean Machine Doesn’t Mean a Good One
Used equipment often looks the part — a fresh wash, shiny panels, maybe even a new coat of paint. But underneath, it could be hiding costly faults.
We’ve inspected hundreds of machines across Queensland and regularly uncover:

• Cracked frames and structural fatigue
• Worn-out hydraulics or leaking rams
• Engine issues like low compression or blow-by
• Hidden rust, neglected servicing, or bodged repairs
• Cooling system faults and electrical gremlins

These issues are rarely disclosed and can cost you thousands.

⚠️ One Missed Issue Can Cost You the Lot
When you’re buying secondhand gear from an auction, hire fleet, or private seller, you’re relying on limited info — or worse, false confidence.
Without an expert’s eyes on the machine:

• You risk overpaying for worn-out equipment
• You could face unexpected repairs and downtime
• You may miss deal-breaking defects hidden under the surface
