Here at Richard Jay we have a massive rental fleet, and many customers prefer to renew their agreements with new equipment – meaning equipment that’s in good condition is returned to our warehouses. Additionally, sometimes customer plans or sites change and they need to upgrade to bigger equipment.

No, all returned equipment goes through a full assessment by our in-house technical team, and only equipment in a condition graded Good or Excellent is allowed to become a part of the secondhand program.

Industrial equipment is designed to last 30,000 cycles, and at Richard Jay we rarely sell secondhand equipment with more than 10,000 cycles on the clock. This means equipment with at least two-thirds of its life-span left can be sold with up to a 50% reduction in price – making it an affordable solution for many businesses. Additionally, some laundries need to build in some redundancy with extra machines, and secondhand, older models or box-damaged stock helps fill this need.

Our secondhand initiative is part of our sustainability program here at Richard Jay – keeping equipment running means it lasts longer before it’s ready to be recycled. It’s much better to purchase a secondhand, high-performance industrial machine than a lower performance, less efficient commercial product. Due to price considerations, many customers purchase a product that doesn’t meet their business needs – however, a secondhand product makes a high-performance model accessible to these customers.

No. As we sell large volumes of commercial washers and dryers per year, some of our stock unfortunately receives freight damage – meaning we also offer “scratch and dent” commercial equipment under the program. With minor cosmetic damage that means we can’t sell the products as new, these models are sold at a discounted price that helps businesses purchase affordable laundry products.

All Richard Jay secondhand equipment goes through a detailed inspection – if the product doesn’t meet the Good or Excellent standard for its condition, it’s then broken down for recycling.

Yes. Richard Jay offers a 1-month warranty on all parts, plus travel and labour for fitment (within 50km of metro areas). If a longer warranty is required, it can be discussed with the Richard Jay team.

We require a 20% deposit to reserve equipment, which is refundable once finance is approved.

We update this list daily. Once a product is booked, the machine is removed from the list.

We have warehouses in QLD, NSW, VIC, SA and WA, and equipment location is detailed under each product. Freight is a separate cost and is included on the quotation from our sales team.

Please contact us and we will talk you through the options in your area.
