Frequently Asked Questions about used LVD
What is a used LVD press brake and what is it used for?
LVD is a Belgian manufacturer of sheet metal working equipment, and its press brakes are used to bend and form sheet metal into precise angles for parts such as enclosures, panels and brackets. Used LVD machines are common in job shops and production environments because they are built for a long service life and many models run on CNC controls. At Asset-Trade they appear alongside other LVD sheet metal machines such as shears and punching machines.
How do I choose the right used LVD machine for my sheet metal production?
Start with the parts you actually run: material type and thickness, maximum bend length and the control generation determine whether a press brake, shear or punching machine fits. Because LVD has built many generations of controls over the years, it is worth checking whether spare parts and programming support are still available for that generation. The Asset-Trade team compares machines against your requirements and can arrange an on-site inspection with a live demonstration.
How much does a used LVD machine cost compared to a new one?
The price depends on machine type, size, year of construction, control generation and condition, so there is no single figure. As a guide, used industrial machines from Asset-Trade typically cost 40 to 70 percent less than a comparable new machine. A free machine appraisal helps you judge whether a specific offer is realistically priced.
How is the condition of a used LVD machine checked before purchase?
Every machine goes through a multi-stage inspection at Asset-Trade that includes functional tests, checking bending accuracy, hydraulic or servo systems and the control under power. You can also inspect and see the machine running on site yourself, or request photos, videos and test reports if travelling is not possible. The 7-step purchase process keeps these checks documented.
Can a used LVD machine be shipped and exported to my country?
Yes, Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export, including customs paperwork, loading and transport for machines of this size. A dedicated project manager coordinates the logistics and stays with you from order to delivery. Loading, sea freight and import requirements are planned individually for each machine.
What mistakes should I avoid when buying a used LVD machine?
Typical mistakes are buying on price alone without checking the control generation, skipping a functional test under load, and underestimating transport and installation costs for a heavy press brake. It also helps to confirm that spare parts, tooling and programming support are still available for the specific model. If a used LVD machine does not match your part range, alternatives from other press brake manufacturers may be the better choice.
