Inspection & Purchase Checklist
Before committing, it’s wise to run through a checklist to ensure the machine’s condition and suitability:
- Screenbox condition — Look for wear on the screen plates, rails, and any signs of fatigue or damage.
- Engine & hydraulics — Since this is heavy duty equipment, check engine hours, service history, and hydraulic system integrity.
- Undercarriage / Tracks / Mobility — If the machine is track-mounted or mobile, evaluate the undercarriage condition and mobility.
- Transport & set-up — Confirm the machine’s transport dimensions/weights, and how quick and easy the set-up is (as claimed in the listing).
- Material flow & output — Review whether the machine has been used for the type of material you intend (aggregates, topsoil, recycling).
- Spare parts & support availability — Ensure spare parts for McCloskey machines are accessible locally (Ireland/EU) and the vendor can support servicing.
- Verification of listing details — For example, year of manufacture (2011), location, condition “good working order” as stated by KM Plant Sales.
- H&S / compliance — For Ireland and EU operations, ensure the machine meets any regulatory requirements (CE marking, emissions, safety standards, etc).
