intense 120-point inspection
Every single machine that enters our yard goes through a rigorous 120-point inspection. This is where we test and inspect everything on each machine from the slew ring, engine, electrics, the boom and blade to the hydraulic rams, fluids and much more!

Reconditioning standards for every requirement
PLANTMAX provides refurbishment in three standards of CORE, PRO and ULTRA. The main differences between them are the level to which the machine is reconditioned and the warranty period. This means that you as the customer can choose the right package for your individual operating conditions and requirements.
The following provides an initial overview of the details and the differences between CORE, PRO and ULTRA.
