FAQ
Used press brakes: frequently asked questions
Is it worth buying a used press brake?
Yes, when the machine is reconditioned by the company that built it. A used press brake refurbished by the manufacturer performs close to new at a lower cost and with fast delivery. PG overhauls the hydraulics, CNC and safety systems of every machine and backs it with a 12-month warranty: the usual risk of an "as-is" used machine bought from a middleman is gone.
What warranty does a refurbished used press brake have?
12-month warranty on mechanics and hydraulics, contractually extendable, with the same service network as new machines: remote support, OEM spare parts and on-site interventions.
Used press brake from the manufacturer or a dealer — which is better?
From the manufacturer. PG takes back, inspects and reconditions the machine in the same plant where it builds new press brakes: it restores frame geometry, hydraulics and CNC with original expertise and stands behind it with a warranty. A reseller resells; the manufacturer truly brings the machine back to standard.
How much do you save with a refurbished used press brake?
The saving on purchase price versus new is significant, but the real advantage is total cost: the machine arrives tested, with a 12-month warranty, compliant safety and direct manufacturer support. With "as-is" used machines from a middleman, hidden costs — compliance, repairs, downtime — often wipe out the initial saving.
Are the used press brakes ready for delivery?
Machines in stock are in our workshop, already reconditioned and tested: ready for delivery and available for inspection by appointment, without the lead time of a new machine.
Are PG used press brakes compatible with Industry 4.0/5.0?
No: a used press brake is not an "Industry 4.0" asset, neither technically nor for tax purposes. During refurbishment we still update the CNC, safety systems and interconnection to the company network — the machine runs in a modern, connected way — but that does not turn it into an incentive-eligible 4.0 asset. The 2026 incentives (super-depreciation, Nuova Sabatini, ZES, the ISI INAIL call) apply only to brand-new equipment: used machines, even if overhauled or reconditioned, are excluded by law. If the goal is to leverage the incentives, the route is a new machine; a refurbished used one remains the right choice when budget and fast delivery matter.
Can I update the CNC and safety systems of a used machine?
Yes. During refurbishment we can update the CNC to the latest version, replace the laser safety system to the EN 12622 standard, add axes to the back gauge and convert traditional hydraulics to a hybrid configuration.
How much does a refurbished used press brake cost?
The price depends on the final configuration — tonnage, length, CNC, safety and accessories — which is why we do not publish it online. Request a custom quote: we reply with a proposal on the specific machine.
Which brands of used press brakes do you deal with?
We recondition PG press brakes and shears as well as machines from other makers. Stock changes often: if you are after a specific model or configuration, let us know and we activate our search network to find the right machine.
