How We Prepare Our Machines for Resale — and What That Means for You
At Dromad Hire, we take pride in offering more than just top-tier hire equipment — we also provide a trusted source for quality used machines through our Approved Ex-Rental Equipment Sales. For contractors, tradesmen, and DIYers alike, buying an ex-rental machine can be a smart, cost-effective investment. But not all used equipment is created equal.
Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how Dromad Hire prepares machines for resale, and why buying from us means peace of mind and long-term value.
Ex-Rental Equipment Expertly Maintained from Day One
Unlike many used machines on the market, Dromad Hire’s ex-rental equipment has been:
Maintained by expert in-house engineers
Serviced at regular intervals, not just when faults arise
Stored in clean, secure facilities, protecting components from unnecessary wear
Every machine in our fleet follows a strict preventative maintenance schedule, ensuring optimal performance and longevity.
Ex-Rental Pre-Sale Preparation
Before any machine is listed for sale, it undergoes a comprehensive inspection and servicing process, including:
Full mechanical inspection
Function testing
Parts replacement, where needed
Deep cleaning, both interior and exterior
Paint touch-ups or panel repairs (if required)
Up-to-date certification – GA1 Cert
The goal? To make sure every machine meets the same high standards you’d expect from a brand-new model — without the price tag.
Why Ex-Rental Equipment Makes Sense
Whether you’re expanding your fleet or taking on more work, buying ex-rental can give you a serious edge:
Cost savings: Get high-spec machines at a fraction of the new cost.
Proven reliability: Our fleet features trusted brands like Snorkel, Skyjack, Hinowa, and more.
Immediate availability: No factory wait times or shipping delays.
Wide Range of Stock – Updated Weekly
Our ex-rental sales cover everything from powered access platforms and general plant & tool equipment.
Each machine is listed with full details on year, condition, price, and photos — so you know exactly what you’re getting.
Tip: Inventory moves quickly. If you see a machine that fits your needs, don’t wait!
Support Beyond the Sale
Buying from Dromad Hire means more than just getting a machine — it means working with a team that values:
Honest advice
After-sales support
Nationwide delivery options
Whether you’re a local tradesperson or managing multiple sites across Ireland, we’re here to help you get the right machine — and keep it working for the long haul.
