Choosing between a track loader and a wheel loader is one of those decisions that shapes the productivity of an entire job site. At first glance both do the same thing — load, transport and discharge material — but the way they make contact with the ground completely changes their behaviour: traction, speed, wear and even the type of terrain where they truly perform. In this guide we compare the two undercarriage systems on what matters most: traction and compaction, performance on unstable or soft ground, maintenance costs and, finally, how to decide which one fits your job site best. We close with a FAQ covering the most common questions.

The CE certificate is one of those requirements that everyone mentions when buying or selling machinery, but few people truly understand in depth. What exactly does it involve? What requirements must be met? What happens if the equipment you want to buy or sell does not have it, and can it be regularized? In the second-hand market, we encounter these questions frequently, and the legal answer is not always what the buyer or seller expects to hear. In this article, we explain rigorously what CE marking entails, what changes with the new European regulations, and how all this affects the commercialization of used machinery.

Buying used crushers and screens is one of the most profitable decisions an aggregates, mining, or recycling company can make: equipment from leading brands at a fraction of the price of a new one. However, it is also one of the riskiest if you do not know where to look. In these machines, the real cost is not in the purchase price but in the wear parts, and a machine that appears to be in excellent condition may hide jaws, cones, or screens that are close to the end of their service life, significantly increasing the actual investment. In this guide, we review the critical wear points you should evaluate before investing, with a practical checklist for your pre-purchase inspection and an FAQ covering the most common questions.

When we talk about sustainable machinery, we refer to equipment and tools designed in line with the principles of sustainable development: machines created to minimize environmental impact, optimize resource use, and improve energy efficiency in construction processes. In a sector such as construction, responsible for nearly 40% of global CO₂ emissions throughout the lifecycle of buildings and infrastructure, machinery sustainability is no longer an option but a regulatory, economic, and reputational requirement. The way a company manufactures, maintains, reuses, or disposes of its equipment directly influences its carbon footprint and competitiveness. Below, we explain the benefits of sustainable machinery, how second-hand machinery helps reduce environmental impact, and the role that carbon footprint and the circular economy play in this model. Let’s get started!

Choosing between a rigid dump truck and an articulated dump truck is one of the decisions that has the greatest impact on productivity and operating costs in a quarry. When analysing the rigid vs. articulated dump truck debate, it is important to understand that both move material, but they do so in very different ways: terrain conditions, slopes, haul distances and the volume of material to be transported will tip the balance in favour of one or the other. And when it comes to used equipment, making the right choice is even more important, because in addition to the initial investment, you also have to consider the actual condition of a machine that has already been in operation. In this guide, we review the key differences between these two types of dump truck, how to size the right payload capacity, which traction system best suits your quarry’s topography and, above all, what to inspect before buying a second-hand dump truck.
