Sell Your Used Vertical Turning Lathe
Send us the details of a surplus VTL or another vertical turning lathe available for sale. Include photographs and the machine nameplate with technical information. We review suitable machines for publication in the TRIGA machinery catalogue.
A clear listing starts with the machine facts
A VTL is a substantial purchase. Buyers need enough information to decide whether an inspection is worthwhile. The more complete the starting material, the more accurately we can assess and present the machine.
VTL type and configuration
We consider vertical turning and vertical turret lathes: single- or double-column, manual, NC or CNC. Please include the manufacturer, model and control system.
Working capacity
Table or faceplate diameter, maximum turning diameter, height under the cross-rail and maximum workpiece weight help a buyer compare the machine with its own parts.
Condition and access
Tell us whether the machine is connected, when it was last operated, what documentation is available and whether there are any limits on inspection or loading.
The information that makes a VTL listing useful
You do not need to prepare a formal brochure. Send what is available; we will clarify any missing essential details with you.
Photos
Photograph the complete machine, table and columns, control cabinet, accessories or tooling included in the sale, visible wear points and the nameplate.
Technical data
Include the manufacturer, model, year if known, table or faceplate diameter, turning diameter, height under the cross-rail, weight, dimensions, control and power data.
Condition, documents and video
Let us know the current condition, whether the VTL is powered, and which manuals, drawings or service records remain. A running video is helpful if available.
Three steps before the listing goes live
We agree the details with the owner before publishing a machine. That keeps the listing factual and avoids avoidable enquiries later.
1. Send the available material
Email the photos and data, or use the enquiry form for the first contact. We can then tell you which files or measurements still need clarification.
2. We review the machine
We look at the VTL type, capacity, condition information, location and available documentation to decide whether it can be listed properly.
3. Agree and publish
For a suitable machine, we agree the listing details and practical arrangement with you before preparing the catalogue presentation and responding to enquiries.
Removal and transport are scoped separately
If the buyer needs support with removal, TRIGA can discuss dismantling, crane work, loading, packing and transport. The appropriate plan depends on the specific VTL, the access at its current site and the destination.
Listing a vertical turning lathe with TRIGA
We consider vertical turning lathes and vertical turret lathes, including single-column and double-column machines, with manual, NC or CNC control. The manufacturer, size, condition and location help us assess whether we can present the machine in the catalogue.
Start with clear photographs and a nameplate photo. Include the manufacturer, model, year if known, table or faceplate diameter, maximum turning diameter, height under the cross-rail, machine weight, control system, location and current condition.
No. A video is useful when the machine is still connected and can be shown in operation, but it is not required for the first review. Please tell us whether the machine is powered and available for inspection.
We review the information and photographs, then discuss the listing details and practical arrangement with you. A machine is published only after those points are agreed.
If removal is needed after a sale, we can discuss dismantling, crane work, loading and transport planning. The scope depends on the machine dimensions, site access, lifting requirements and destination.
Send the available machine information
Start with the manufacturer, model, location and photographs. Add the nameplate, technical data and a video if available. We will review the VTL and reply about the next steps for a catalogue listing.
