The benefits of global machinery imports

Sep 30, 2022

When you buy something new, you should always go for the best quality possible – but what if the best quality isn’t available nearby? Or what if it is, but the price is just too high? This is where machinery imports come in. When you import heavy equipment internationally through a machinery supplier, you can get exactly what you want without having to settle for inferior products or overspending on getting exactly what you need.

To make sure you get the best out of your project, we’ve made a list of a few of the benefits of having your plant equipment imported.


You can import exactly what you want instead of settling for something that’s not right

When you import heavy equipment, you can choose from a wide range of products that may not be available in your country. This means that you can get the right product for your company, instead of having to settle for something that’s not quite right.

By importing, you won’t have to settle for a certain model of equipment that might be locally available or is the only piece of machinery within your price range. By choosing to import heavy equipment, you have a much larger range of products at your disposal for your project needs since you have access to high-quality equipment that might be difficult to find in your local market.


The costs can be lower

One of the main benefits of importing machinery is that you can often get it at a lower cost than if you were to buy it in your own country. This is because manufacturers in other countries may offer their equipment at lower costs, since certain countries have scaled economies that allow them to produce and sell equipment at a lower cost. 

In addition, you can avoid import tariffs and other barriers since most countries have trade agreements in place that allow for the free flow of goods between them. This means that you won’t have to pay any extra taxes or fees when you import heavy equipment from another country.


You can benefit from cutting-edge advances in technology

The equipment business is always rapidly expanding both nationally and internationally, but this can sometimes mean that it can take a little longer for a certain model to become available for commercial purchase within Australia.


Having that equipment imported helps get ahead of this issue by getting that machine on your site sooner rather than later. By doing this, you can also help stimulate the national equipment market by giving that machine a visible role on a national project, thus introducing it to the wider civil or construction sphere and generating greater interest in having it more widely available on our shores.


It’s easier to find reliable heavy machinery importers than local suppliers

Let’s face it: some local equipment dealers might not always have your best interests at heart, or are only concerned with making a quick deal that won’t consider your longer-term requirements.


This is where it can be beneficial to partner yourself with a plant supplier who is experienced with machinery imports, since these dealers have much larger spheres of business in having to handle the requirements of each customer, the manufacturer, the shipping company, and other middle-men in between. This means that they’re far more likely to deal with you fairly, because there are more parties involved that are also affected by the deal.


The good thing is that if you find a trusted worldwide plant equipment importer and supplier like Cater Equipment, you won’t have to worry about us not being able to handle your complete machinery needs. With our range of high quality wheel loaders, excavators, dump trucks, bulldozers, and more available to be imported at a moment’s notice, you won’t have to wait for that perfect piece of plant any longer.
