Frequently Asked Questions



Can I sell my machines with GLOMACHT?

All the machines are on stock?


No, in most of the cases GLOMACHT has a Sale Exclusivity Agreement with the owners of the machines or own property. We manage the sales mostly from direct from the current workplaces, so you can inspect better the machine in operation or former owner.

Do you offer any guarantee?


GLOMACHT believes in long term, transparent relationships with our customers and clients. Since we generally sell used machines, these are sold as they are shown, tested and agreed upon with an honest technical statement of the machine. Our customers can inspect the machines and request any technical information at any time before the deal is closed. However, we do not offer any guarantee on used machinery.


Can I visit the machine while it’s operational?


Of course, we can schedule an appointment for the visit. Sometimes machines have already been disassembled and cannot be observed in full operation. This will be informed to our customers in due course.


Can I do a virtual inspection?


Of course, we can schedule an appointment for the visit in Google meets, Zoom or any platform of your choice. 


Can I send a technician to inspect the machine?


Yes, we look forward to a transparent relationship with our customers. It is ideal to ask for an inspection with your trusted technician upon an agreed date and time.


Can I have more videos of the machine in operation?


We can make videos of specific functions at location when required by our customer. However, most of our machines already have videos while working.


Are your machines second-handed or do you sell new machines too?


Most of our machines are second-handed in very good working condition, with necessary requirements for good operation, but we also have new machines in our catalogue.


How is the payment process?


We request 25% down payment to close the deal, before any dismantling starts (if applicable), and/or total amount at least 3 working days before the agreed pickup date.


Can GLOMACHT finance the machines?


No, GLOMACHT does not finance the machines. Nonetheless in some countries we have lease financial partners that will offer you financial solutions depending on your needs.

In some cases dismantling and/or upload are included in the price but normally GLOMACHT sells Ex-works. 


GLOMACHT is in charge of the transport of the machines?


No, GLOMACHT has expert logistic partners. We can facilitate a transport quotation with our partners if you require it but you hire the service directly with them or any other transport agent of your preference.
