Used equipment can save money upfront, but it carries risk. Here is how to weigh the choice.
Shop the equipment in this article: refrigeration, work tables and sinks. Freight is included on every order.
What Buys Well Used
Simple stainless items with no moving parts, like tables and shelving, can be reasonable used buys if they are in good shape.
What to Buy New
Refrigeration and equipment with compressors, motors or complex controls are riskier used. A failed compressor can cost a large share of a new unit’s price.
Warranty
New equipment typically includes a manufacturer warranty. Used usually does not.
Condition
Used equipment may have hidden wear, rust or missing parts.
Code Compliance
Older units may lack the certifications your inspector expects.
Energy
Newer refrigeration is often more energy efficient.
Total Cost
Compare price plus expected repairs and energy over several years.
Availability
New equipment in the exact size you need is easier to find.
