Welcome to Equipment Resource

Welcome to Equipment-Resource.com! Here you can learn about some of the most popular types of construction equipment, how to get a good deal, what features are important, and how to find a reliable dealer. We don't sell any of this equipment, but we are the most comprehensive source for buying advice and tips.

Whether you're buying full-size equipment - a loader backhoe or excavator - or compact construction equipment - a mini excavator or skid steer loader - we have the information you need. Once you've done all the research, we can introduce you to dealers in your area who are ready to sell you the equipment you need at the right price.

Two important things to keep in mind when shopping for construction equipment.

1. Don't buy on price alone. Whether you're spending $10,000 on a tiny skid steer loader or $250,000 on a full sized excavator, resist the urge to go with the least expensive model that meets your requirements to save even a few thousand dollars! Take a look at our skid steer loaders pricing article or any other pricing page for more on this subject.

2. Plan for the future. Buying a skid steer, excavator, or loader that just meets your current needs can cause problems down the road. If you're buying a new piece of equipment, it should last 5 to 10 years with proper maintenance, so it's important to think about how your business might grow and your requirements might change before you make a purchasing decision.

Another aspect of buying construction equipment that many buyers overlook is a careful evaluation of the dealer you're buying from, in addition to the specific model you're considering. Find out what questions to ask and what to look for in our choosing equipment dealers page.

To compare different providers, though, you'll need to connect with at least three or four construction equipment dealers in your area. Instead of picking randomly from the phone book or relying on word-of-mouth, Equipment-Resource can help. You just give some basic information about what you're looking for and specially selected dealers will contact you – and it's completely free.
