There will be several things to consider if you are in the market
for a used truck mount. You will want to do your homework before
purchasing a unit. Most used
truck mount web sites will have several units for sale, some
will be almost identical. So, you want to price shop first. Be careful
not to buy something on price alone, though. You will want to make
sure that the truck mount is in good shape and that the owner has
taken care of the unit. You can always ask for maintenance records,
most companies will keep these on file. Make sure that the units
were in for their 1000 hour services getting their oil changed and
making sure the general maintenance was performed.
You will also want to check on the vehicle that the truck mount
is mounted to. Especially if it is a direct drive unit. If it is
a slide-in truck mount, you can always get a new vehicle to mount
this unit to.
Most used truck mount sellers are not going to take a credit card.
So, make sure you have the money to purchase the unit with cash
or a certified check. They might be willing to accept a personal
check if they wait for the check to clear prior to delivering the
used truck mount to you. Delivery is another thing to check for.
It never hurts to ask them to deliver the unit to you. After all,
they are the ones trying to get rid of the truck mount. They might
be willing to drive it to you if it will make or break the deal.
Some people have actually driven across the country for a used truck
mount. Don't worry, this isn't always the case. There are used truck
mounts for sale in almost every state in the US.
