KD Machinery buys and brokers production machinery. For this equipment the better route is almost always our auction side: KD Auctions runs whole-facility sales and liquidations, which is where this equipment reaches the buyers who want it.
Tell us what you have and how to reach you, and we will come back with a route and a number — usually the same day. The make and model of your unit are enough to start.
Medical and laboratory equipment carries obligations that machinery does not, and they decide the sale. Anything that held patient data has to be wiped and shown to have been wiped. Anything with a radiation source has its own removal rules and its own paperwork. Calibration and service records are not a nice extra here, they are what lets the next facility put the unit into service instead of leaving it in a corridor. And de-installation is frequently the largest single cost in the whole exercise, which is why it should be priced before anything is agreed rather than discovered afterwards.
Imaging and diagnostic systems, laboratory analyzers and centrifuges, autoclaves and sterilizers, surgical tables and lights, exam and treatment equipment, refrigeration and freezers, and complete clinic or laboratory clearances.
Medical equipment is bought on documentation as much as condition:
Anything that stored it has to be wiped to standard and you want documentation saying so. This is not something to leave to the buyer or to assume the manufacturer handled. Identify every unit with storage in it early, including some that are not obvious, and treat the certificate as part of the asset.
It is negotiable and it varies with the equipment, but the important thing is that it is priced before terms are agreed rather than after. On imaging equipment particularly it can be the largest cost in the exercise, and a sale agreed without it settled tends to come apart at exactly the wrong moment.
Frequently yes, though to a different buyer. Equipment out of manufacturer support still sells into veterinary work, research, training and export markets, and independent service organizations keep a great deal of it running. What changes is who is bidding rather than whether anyone is.
