The seller is not promising that it is operational, complete, or ready for production. As-is is a legitimate grade for parts machines, surplus that has sat, or equipment a buyer with in-house service can evaluate on site. It is not a synonym for 'cheap and fine.' Budget for inspection, missing guards, and unknown hours before you treat the asking price as the real cost. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#as-is ### Used — Fair Used — Fair means the machine is a working (or recently working) production tool that shows significant wear. Expect cosmetic damage, tired wear items, and a service visit before you put it on a critical job. Fair is a fit for shops that can wrench, not for buyers who need a plug-and-play cell next week. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#used-fair ### Used — Good Used — Good is the most common honest grade on a well-kept used market. The machine should be complete, recently run or demonstrable, and free of known catastrophic faults. Normal wear — rollers, knives, belts, ways — is expected. Ask for hours or impressions, sample work, and a photo of the serial plate before you travel. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#used-good ### Refurbished Refurbished means a dealer or in-house tech has gone through the machine: wear items replaced, functions tested, and (ideally) a punch list you can read. It is not the same as factory-new and it is not the same as a full rebuild. Ask what was actually replaced, whether it was run under power after the work, and what limited warranty travels with it. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#refurbished ### Certified Certified is a dealer grade, not a legal term. It should mean the seller inspected the machine against a written list, documented the result, and will stand behind a defined window of coverage. Demand the checklist. If 'certified' is only a word on a listing, treat the machine as Used — Good until the paperwork shows otherwise. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#certified ### Under power Under power means you can see the machine run in place — motors, controls, pumps, and safety circuits live. It is the single most useful status flag on a used listing. A machine that is not under power may be perfectly fine, but you are buying more unknown: control faults, missing fuses, and 'it ran when we unplugged it' stories. Insist on a video under power if you cannot visit. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#under-power ### Can run samples Can run samples means the cell is set up enough to process a real job, not just jog. Bring your stock, blank, or substrate if the process is material-sensitive (folding, gluing, cutting, wrapping). A clean sample on the seller's house job is useful; a sample on your job is better. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#can-run-samples ### Hours and impressions Hours (CNC, packaging, handling) and impressions or copies (print and finishing) are the odometer. They are not a verdict on their own. A high-count machine with logs and a clean sample can beat a low-count machine that sat in a damp building. Read the meter on the console, photograph it, and compare it to service records rather than treating any single number as a cutoff. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#hours-and-impressions ### Serial plate The serial plate (data plate) is how you confirm you are buying the machine in the photos. Match make, model, serial, and year to the listing. Note voltage, phase, and full-load amps for the electrician. If the plate is painted over, missing, or does not match the paperwork, slow down — parts, manuals, and resale all hang on that number. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#serial-plate ### OEM vs aftermarket OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts and manuals follow the machine's factory spec. Aftermarket parts can be equal, better, or a false economy depending on the wear item. For safety circuits, knives, and control boards, prefer OEM or a named equivalent. Ask which critical parts on a refurbished machine were OEM and keep the invoices. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#oem-vs-aftermarket ### Documentation package A complete documentation package is operator and service manuals, electrical and pneumatic drawings, a parts list, and whatever maintenance log exists. Missing docs are not a deal-breaker on common models — that is why a public manuals library matters — but they add time and risk on obscure or heavily modified machines. Get PDFs before the riggers roll. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#documentation-package ## Freight, rigging, and Incoterms ### Rigging Rigging is not 'shipping.' It is millwright work: lockout, disconnect, drain, crib, lift, and set. A 4-ton cutter and a 20-ton press are different jobs. Price rigging at both ends before you agree on an asking price. Doorways, floor loading, and overhead obstructions kill more used-equipment deals than mechanical faults. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#rigging ### Skidded / on skid A skidded machine is already on a fork-ready base. That saves a shop day at the seller and reduces the chance of twisting a frame during the pick. Confirm the skid is structural, not decorative lumber, and that fork pockets clear the machine's weight. Skidded is not the same as crate-export ready. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#skidded ### Palletized Palletized equipment can often move LTL instead of a dedicated flatbed and rigger. Check height, overhang, and whether the pallet is heat-treated (ISPM 15) if it will cross a border. Do not palletize a machine that needs a skid or crib; a crushed pallet is an expensive way to save a freight class. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#palletized ### FOB FOB names the place where the seller's responsibility ends. FOB origin (seller's dock) means the buyer owns the freight risk once it is loaded. FOB destination means the seller carries risk to the buyer's dock. Used-equipment deals are often FOB origin plus a buyer-hired rigger. Write the FOB point on the invoice so insurance has a place to stand. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#fob ### Bill of lading (BOL) The bill of lading lists the shipper, consignee, piece count, weight, and any noted damage. Photograph the machine on the truck and note exceptions on the BOL before the driver leaves. Concealed damage claims are harder if the BOL was signed clean. Keep the BOL with the serial number and the paid invoice. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#bill-of-lading ### Millwright A millwright (or a rigger/millwright crew) sets the machine, checks level, reconnects power and air, and often does the first run with the seller's tech or yours. Budget their time separately from freight. Precision equipment (CNC, cutters with backgauges, binders) needs a real set — not 'fork it off and plug it in.' Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#millwright ### Freight quote A usable freight quote needs weight, dimensions, whether it is skidded, pickup and delivery access (dock, forklift, residential, inside delivery), and any permits. 'About two pallets' is not a quote. On Requip Market, buyers can request a freight quote from a listing; have the serial, weight, and photos of the pickup path ready. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#freight-quote ## Machine types ### Perfect binder A perfect binder mills the spine, applies adhesive (EVA or PUR), and nips a cover. Used buyers should inspect clamp condition, mill sharpness, glue-pot cleanliness, cover feeder, and whether the machine is set up for the adhesive they actually run. PUR is not a drop-in swap on every EVA pot. See also the Müller Martini inspection guide. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#perfect-binder ### Guillotine / paper cutter A guillotine cutter (Polar, Challenge, and others) is defined by knife width, clamp pressure, backgauge accuracy, and safety circuits (two-hand, light curtain, or IR). Used inspections should include a clamp-pressure check, backgauge repeatability, knife change hardware, and whether safety systems have been bypassed. Never buy a cutter with defeated safeties. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#guillotine-cutter ### Folder (bindery) Bindery folders are specified by sheet size, plate count, and whether they are buckle, knife, or combo. Used buyers should watch a real sheet run: register, marking, and delivery stack. Rollers, tapes, and plates are wear items. Refurbished vs as-is on a folder is often a roller-and-timing job, not a frame job. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#folder ### Case erector / sealer A case erector pulls a blank, squares it, and seals the bottom; a sealer closes the top downstream. The used-market questions are blank-size range, speed in cases per minute, tape vs hot melt, and whether changeover is tool-less. Run the buyer's blank if the size is near the published min or max. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#case-erector ### Stretch wrapper Turntable wrappers rotate the load; rotary-arm wrappers rotate the film around a tall or unstable load. Check film carriage, pre-stretch percentage, load-height sensor, and whether the turntable bearing feels notchy. Throughput is pallets per hour at a stated wrap pattern, not the motor's nameplate RPM. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#stretch-wrapper ### CNC / VMC On the used market, a CNC mill or VMC is judged by control generation, axis travel, spindle taper and hours, tool-changer condition, and ball-screw backlash. Control vintage drives parts and service more than the paint. Get a ball-bar or at least an indicator check, and confirm the transformer and phase match your shop. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#cnc-vmc ### Press brake Used press brakes are specified by tonnage, bed length, and control (manual, NC, or CNC with crowning). Inspect ram parallelism, tooling, backgauge, and hydraulic leaks. A cheap brake with worn ways or a tired hydraulic pack is a shop bottleneck, not a bargain. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#press-brake ### Conveyor Used conveyors are easy to under-specify. Record belt or roller type, width, length, speed, incline, and drive. Matching height and controls to an existing line matters more than buying 'a conveyor.' Check lacing, bearings, and whether the frame is bent from a forklift. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#conveyor ## Commercial terms ### Asking price Asking prices on a marketplace are offers, not sold comps. They are still useful: they show what sellers believe the market will bear for a make, model, and condition. Requip Market's market snapshot reports medians of asking prices on live listings, not hammer prices. Treat them as a starting range, then adjust for hours, docs, location, and how fast the seller needs it gone. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#asking-price ### Price on request Price on request (POR) is common on higher-value or easily shopped machines. It is not automatically a red flag. It can mean the seller is avoiding a public race to the bottom, or that configuration options change the number. Ask for a written quote with serial, included tooling, and FOB point. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#price-on-request ### Consignment On consignment, title usually stays with the owner until the buyer pays. Confirm who can accept an offer, who has the keys, and who is responsible for the machine until pickup. Get the consignment terms in writing so you are not negotiating with two parties who disagree. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#consignment ### Surplus / decommissioning Surplus machines can be excellent buys — they often come with history — or they can be the cell nobody wanted to maintain. Ask why it is coming out, when it last ran, and whether you can see it under power before the electricians pull the feed. Decommissioning timelines are real: a 'must be out by Friday' price is only a deal if you can rigger on that calendar. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/glossary#surplus # Inspection checklists — Requip Market License: CC BY 4.0. Cite the checklist URL. ## Used industrial equipment inspection checklist A general pre-purchase list for any production machine before you wire money or book riggers. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/checklists/used-industrial-equipment-inspection ### Before you travel - Match make, model, and serial on the listing to a photo of the data plate. - Get hours or impressions, last-run date, and why it is being sold — in writing. - Confirm voltage, phase, and full-load amps against your service. - Ask whether it is under power and whether you can run a sample. - Request manuals, electrical drawings, and the last service invoices. - Measure doorways, dock, and floor loading at both ends; price rigging before you negotiate. ### On the floor - Walk the machine cold: missing guards, leaks, cracked welds, damaged connectors. - Photograph the serial plate, hour meter, and any fault history on the HMI. - Run it under power through a full cycle, not just a jog. - Listen for abnormal bearings, pumps, and gearboxes; feel for heat after a short run. - Verify E-stops, interlocks, and light curtains have not been jumped. - List every included tool, fixture, and spare; missing tooling is a second purchase. ### Before you sign - Write FOB point, included items, and pickup window on the invoice. - Confirm who disconnects utilities and who is the named shipper on the BOL. - Hold a portion of payment until the machine is loaded if the seller is unknown to you. - Schedule your millwright for set-in the same week the truck arrives. ## Used bindery equipment inspection checklist Cutters, folders, binders, and stitchers — the checks a bindery lead actually runs. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/checklists/used-bindery-equipment-inspection ### Identity and configuration - Confirm model, year, and options (program, pile lift, gatefold, PUR, etc.). - Record knife width or max sheet size; compare to the work you actually run. - Photograph the serial plate and the control generation. ### Run it - Cutter: clamp pressure, backgauge repeatability, knife change, two-hand / IR safeties. - Folder: register on a real sheet, roller condition, plate settings, delivery stack. - Binder: clamp, mill, glue-pot temperature, cover feed, and a pulled book you can flex. - Stitcher/trimmer: stitch placement, trim quality, and book-size changeover time. ### Walk-away flags - Defeated cutter safeties or a missing knife guard. - Glue pot that will not hold temperature or a mill that will not cut a clean spine. - No manuals and a control generation the local tech will not touch. - A 'it ran last year' machine that cannot be put under power today. ## Used CNC machine inspection checklist Control vintage, spindle hours, geometry, and power — before you buy a machining center. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/checklists/used-cnc-machine-inspection ### Control and identity - Record control make/generation, options, and whether passwords or dongles are included. - Match serial to the Fanuc/Siemens/Heidenhain records if available. - Confirm transformer, phase, and compressed-air quality the machine expects. ### Mechanical - Spindle hours, taper condition, and tool-changer cycle without a crash. - Axis travel vs spec; look for way cover damage and leaking way lube. - Ball-screw backlash or a ball-bar report if the seller has one. - Chip conveyor, coolant, and through-spindle coolant if advertised. ### Run and paperwork - Home all axes, run a warm-up, and cut a simple coupon if possible. - Pull alarm history; ask about any spindle or axis rebuilds. - List included tooling, vises, probes, and spare servos. - Get the last PM and any remaining OEM warranty transfer terms. ## Used packaging line inspection checklist Erectors, sealers, wrappers, labelers, and the line-speed fit that actually matters. Canonical: https://requipmarket.com/checklists/used-packaging-line-inspection ### Fit to your SKU - Blank or package size range vs your min and max SKU — not the brochure midpoint. - Rated cases or pallets per minute at a stated product, not an empty-machine number. - Changeover method and typical time; watch one if you run many SKUs. - Infeed/outfeed height and control voltage vs the rest of your line. ### On the machine - Run your blank or a close analog; look at square, seal, and film cut. - Inspect wear strips, belts, vacuum cups, and tape/hot-melt delivery. - Confirm guarding, E-stops, and category of the safety circuit. - Check spare-parts list against what the OEM still stocks. ## Buyer guide index - [How to buy used industrial equipment](https://requipmarket.com/buyers-guide): Condition grades, inspections, freight, and common mistakes. - [Used bindery equipment valuation](https://requipmarket.com/guides/used-bindery-print-equipment-valuation): How asking prices are set on cutters, folders, and binders. - [Refurbished vs as-is bindery folders](https://requipmarket.com/guides/refurbished-vs-as-is-used-bindery-folder): When to pay for a rebuild and when as-is is the better buy. - [How to buy a used Heidelberg SM 52](https://requipmarket.com/guides/how-to-buy-used-heidelberg-sm-52): 10-point inspection from the operator side of the press. - [How to buy a used pallet wrapping machine](https://requipmarket.com/guides/how-to-buy-used-pallet-wrapping-machine): Turntable vs rotary-arm, film delivery, and throughput checks. - [How to buy a used case erector/sealer](https://requipmarket.com/guides/how-to-buy-used-case-erector-sealer): Blank size range, tape vs hot melt, and line-speed fit. - [Inspect a used Müller Martini perfect binder](https://requipmarket.com/guides/inspect-used-muller-martini-perfect-binder): Clamp, mill, and glue-pot checks before you travel. - [Inspect a used Polar paper cutter](https://requipmarket.com/guides/inspect-used-polar-paper-cutter): Clamp pressure, backgauge, and safety-circuit checks. # Used production equipment market snapshot — Requip Market > Asking-price snapshot from live inventory.
