- The used equipment mining market will continue to be strong for at least 10 more years and is not as dependant on commodity prices as is new equipment.
- The industry is expected to grow by 4.2% in copper, 3.9% in coal, 5.3% in gold and 3-4 % approximately for other base metals.
- The main reason for this is continued high demand from emerging economies.
- With the high cost of new equipment and the acute shortage of new and used equipment, any mines that are now in the replacement phase, we are finding a ready market for their used equipment from small to mid-tier companies that are focused on shorter term projects that have a mine life of 10 years or less.
- Additionally mining contractors typically have term projects that last 1 -3 years so there is a steady stream of quality used equipment available.
- Trademark Heavy Equipment Sales Ltd has a good relationship with these people and can promptly figure out their purchasing needs.
