Upgrading equipment

New machines on the way? Get the best return on the old ones.

Capacity expansions and fleet renewals don't have to mean a lay-up of unused machinery while the new kit is commissioned. Charter sells your outgoing equipment in parallel with the install programme so the working capital recycles directly into the upgrade.

We handle the marketing, viewings, and logistics so your engineers can stay focused on commissioning the new line. The outgoing machines leave site when the buyer's transport arrives — no warehouse storage, no double-handling.

Why Charter for this

  • Sell-while-you-install — we market and sell in parallel with your upgrade timeline.
  • Free valuation tells you what to expect against the new-kit invoice before you commit.
  • Buyers come to the site, Charter handles every viewing and enquiry.
  • 0% sellers fees. Cash in directly against the capex on the new line.
  • Logistics handled — we move the machine when the buyer's transport is booked, not before.

What's different about this process

Upgrades usually have a known cutover date. We work back from that to time the listings — too early and viewings disrupt production, too late and you're paying to store idle kit. The valuation conversation includes the timing plan.
