A hydraulic press can be difficult to sell for those business owners looking to upgrade their old equipment. Due to the general size and weight of a press, increased rigging and shipping costs over the past 2 years, finding a committed buyer can be challenging.
However, there are some options available to streamline the process of reselling your hydraulic press. If it’s just sitting in your warehouse taking up space, it’s likely time to sell it. In the following post we’ll answer some common questions for how and where you can sell a hydraulic press.
What Should I do Before Selling My Press?
It is likely that you are already investigating different methods in which you can easily sell your used hydraulic press, however, it is important to take note of the following tips and advice before selling your hydraulic press.
Research Online for Similar Presses
Before you dive into listing your press online, it’s best to see what kind of demand is already out there. Go to the Hydraulic Press category page and you can see hundreds of used and surplus presses for sale. You’ll quickly get an idea on the popular manufacturers and models that people are selling. You can also get a feel for the price based on the size of the press. If you find a press similar to the one you’re attempting to sell, you can easily click “Request Quote” to get the price from the dealer and find an estimated value of your press.
Keep on top of Maintenance
Even if you are ready to ship out your piece of gear to the sales yard, staying on top of general maintenance until the press leaves your front door is a great idea. By continuing this practice you’re not only going to maintain/improve upon the value of your equipment but also, you will guarantee a smooth sales process by eliminating potential complaints from your interested buyers.
Your Hydraulic Press Analysis
Understanding the current value, demand and turnover rate of used equipment and machinery can be daunting. Trying to figure out the best way to market your press can be a shot in the dark, but luckily we’re here to tell you the best specifications you should have to help sell your press quickly.
No one is going to buy your press if you upload a few lackluster photos and simply list the manufacturer’s name. You need to provide prospective buyers with the machine’s exact specifications. Here’s the information we recommend including:
- Capacity in Tons
- Manufacturer & Model
- Shut Height for the Press
- Bed size for the press
- Stroke of the press
- CNC Controls?
- Daylight of press
- Throat of the press
- Year
- Any addons like light curtains, or servo feeders, cushions, etc.
To relieve your business from such a task, a seller could utilize a platform like Surplus Record which has an extensive 97 years of experience with the sales of second-hand equipment and machinery. We’ll help you get all the details you need in order to sell your press and help you advertise it in the best possible way.

Repair before Selling
If your business is practically or financially able to repair damaged equipment/machinery before selling, you should always do so. Conducting repairs before selling the press, more often than not, will drastically increase the value of the product and improve the likelihood of completing the desired sale. If you have a crack in the frame of the press, the entire press could be worthless, as the structure will be compromised, so take care when moving the press around the shop for any repairs.
