Service Engineers Inspection 60 Points CHECKLIST
Buying a used generator need not be a gamble.
We have years of experience in diesel generators. We are committed to providing only the highest quality used diesel generators, which is why all of the used generators we sell undergo a 60 point service inspection check and a full load test prior to dispatch.
With new stock arriving each week please contact us should you not be able to find the second-hand generator you are looking for. We also offer a wide range of new diesel generators from globally renowned brands such as Perkins, Cummins and Doosan.
How can we be confident that the diesel generator you purchase from Eurotrade-Gen is the best quality second-hand generator that you can buy?
