Myth Busters: The Truth Behind 3 Construction Equipment Legends

22 September, 2025

In the world of construction machinery, we’ve all heard stories: the legendary operator, the impossible project, and of course, the big myths about heavy equipment. But at CYCLICA, we like to get beyond legends and work with facts.

Today, grab your hard hat and join us as we bust three of the most widespread myths in the construction sector.

Myth #1: “Buying used machinery is a gamble.”

Myth Busted! 💥 It’s true that, in the past, the second-hand machinery market could be a box of surprises. But those days are long gone. Today, brands like CYCLICA have completely professionalized the process.

Our promise is total transparency. Every piece of equipment in our machinery sales undergoes a rigorous inspection process, where we check every bolt and cable to ensure its condition. Additionally, we provide detailed information on hours of use, year, and overall condition. To top it off, many of our used equipment have the CAT Certified Used certificate, giving you reliability with the backing of the manufacturer itself. At the end of the day, the only gamble you’ll take is on a successful project.

Myth #2: “Only new equipment comes with a warranty.”

Myth Busted! 💥 Most people believe that when you buy reconditioned equipment, you sacrifice the security that a warranty provides. Not at all!

Many of the machines you’ll find at CYCLICA come with warranty options that cover the main components, giving you the same peace of mind you would have with a new machine. This not only protects your investment but also shows our confidence in the quality and durability of what we sell. The next time someone tells you that new is the only way to be covered, you'll know what to say.

Myth #3: “Cheaper always ends up being more expensive.”

Myth Busted! 💥 While this saying holds true in many aspects of life, it doesn’t apply when you choose wisely.

Buying high-quality reconditioned equipment isn't a cheap choice; it's a smart investment. A new machine loses value the instant it leaves the lot. In contrast, a well-maintained piece of used equipment offers comparable performance for a fraction of the price.

The result? A much faster return on investment (ROI) and a great cost saving. You can equip your fleet, expand your operations, and take on new projects, all without draining your company’s capital.

The real secret is not to look for the cheapest option, but for the greatest value. And in that sense, CYCLICA is the undisputed champion.
