We welcome all enquiries. With over 70 years of continuous trading experience we have many knowledgeable contacts around the world to assist us in finding and selling our range of used machinery.

Please contact us regarding any used machinery requirements that you may have, or surplus machines that you wish to sell - we are ready to travel to any global destination to inspect suitable equipment. We pay promptly by wire bank transfer or irrevocable Letters of Credit.

From our huge database we can normally match customers with machines that are in good order and competitively priced.
