How We Do Quality: Our Inspection and Rebuild Standards, Explained

Quality on used machinery means one thing: the machine you receive matches the machine you were sold. Here is how we make that true, mechanically.
What is your inspection standard?
A fixed 29-checkpoint inspection across 8 categories, taking about 635 minutes (10.6 hours) of standard time, with 50 verification points. The checklist is public — grading, exterior, power and hydraulics, full function test, safety devices, electrical, and final inspection. Because it is fixed, nothing is cherry-picked. See the full breakdown on our inspection page.
What happens if something fails a checkpoint?
Any checkpoint marked “Abnormal” is rectified and re-inspected before the unit is released. You are never asked to accept a known fault — it is either fixed or disclosed in the report so you decide.
How do the delivery standards work?
Every machine is delivered at one of four written standards — As-Is, Refurbished, Remanufactured or New — and the standard defines what happens to the paint, tyres, battery and components. You always know which standard you are buying, and the price reflects it.
What does remanufacturing actually mean here?
It means rebuild-to-standard, not repaint. The machine is stripped, major components inspected and rebuilt or replaced, then reassembled, painted and re-tested — see inside the remanufacturing process. The signed report tells you exactly what was done.
The principle: quality is a written standard you can verify, not a claim. We publish the checklist and the standard so you can hold us to them.
