Starrag Heckert is a long-established German machine tool brand known mainly for CNC horizontal machining centres, universal machining centres and milling machines. These machines are used for milling, drilling and threading medium to large workpieces, often in automotive, energy and general mechanical engineering production. Many workshops buy used Starrag Heckert machines because the design still suits flexible, multi-shift and partly unmanned machining.
The key factors are the condition of the spindle, guideways and axis drives, the installed CNC control, the tool magazines, and the availability of spare parts and documentation. Clamping equipment, pallet changers and coolant supply matter too, since they determine which workpieces can be machined economically. Typical mistakes are buying without an inspection, without a functional test and without reviewing the maintenance history; when comparing alternatives from other builders, choose machines in the same size and equipment class.
No fixed price can be quoted, because it depends heavily on machine size, year of construction, control system, equipment and condition. Used Starrag Heckert machines are typically around 40 to 70 percent cheaper than comparable new machines, which makes them attractive for companies building or expanding capacity. Asset-Trade offers a free machine appraisal and prepares a suitable offer based on it.
Asset-Trade uses a multi-stage inspection in which the spindle, axes, geometry, control functions and tool changer are checked as part of functional tests. On-site inspection and a live demonstration can also be arranged so you can see the machine running yourself. A dedicated project manager coordinates the appointments and answers technical questions about the inspection.
Asset-Trade handles worldwide shipping and export formalities, including loading, transport documents and customs paperwork. Every purchase follows a structured 7-step process, from the initial enquiry through inspection and demonstration to handover. A dedicated project manager coordinates schedules, loading and communication with freight forwarders and authorities.
Asset-Trade can arrange instruction and technical support for commissioning and helps with sourcing spare parts and documentation. Control and wear parts for many series are available through specialised suppliers. A dedicated project manager remains your contact person for questions about the machine after delivery.
