How to buy used commercial catering equipment
Check the exact specification, condition, service history, site requirements and collection or delivery terms before agreeing a deal.
Before you agree a deal
- Confirm the specification. Check the exact make, model, dimensions, capacity, power supply, gas type and ventilation requirements against your site.
- Review condition and history. Ask for clear photos, serial details, service history, known faults, included accessories and confirmation of what has been tested.
- Plan inspection and transport. Inspect working equipment where possible. Confirm access, lifting, disconnection, collection, delivery and installation responsibilities.
- Keep a written record. Use on-site messaging for important questions and keep the listing details and any agreed terms for your records.
Keep safety and compliance in mind
Commercial gas, electrical, refrigeration and extraction work may require a suitably qualified professional. A marketplace listing is not a substitute for inspection or compliance advice.
