About SilverChef
Save on quality equipment with Australia's largest range of second-hand commercial kitchen gear, backed by a three-month parts and labour warranty.
SilverChef's range of second-hand commercial kitchen equipment — Australia's largest — helps your budget go further by allowing you to get the best brands for lower prices. This refurbished and certified catalogue of assets is backed by a three month parts and labour warranty for peace of mind.
Our second-hand commercial kitchen equipment is for hospitality owners and operators:
LOOKING FOR a top-of-the-range make and model of equipment for a more affordable price and that’s still in good condition.
TRYING TO stay within budget while they fulfil their equipment inventory list.
UNABLE TO immediately get the new equipment they want (e.g. due to supply-chain problems) and who would be happy to Rent–Try–Buy used hospitality equipment before upgrading to the new equipment when it becomes available.
WAITING FORthe latest model to come out and who would be happy to Rent–Try–Buy second-hand catering equipment before upgrading to the new model when their backorder is fulfilled.
Our fully refurbished used hospitality equipment is cheaper than brand-new, like-for-like equipment.
It includes premium brands that you can get financed or purchase outright for a significantly reduced price, helping your budget go further.
Our Certified Used equipment is typically less than 2.5 years old — relatively new when you consider most commercial kitchen equipment lasts 5–10 years (see table below).
Because it comes from a trusted source and has a three-month warranty, it’s safer than you buying used equipment straight from a private seller or at an auction.
Our range of used commercial kitchen equipment is Australia’s largest.
On any given day we have several hundred pieces of refurbished ex-rental, ex-demo and other used equipment listed for sale, rental, or lease. (We also stock runout and scratch-and-dent equipment.)
You can get the Certified Used and clearance equipment financed by SilverChef or purchase it outright from us.
We’re one of the few financiers in Australia, if not the only one, that funds second-hand commercial kitchen equipment.
We only advertise used commercial kitchen equipment that’s in stock, so we can deliver it to your business premises usually within 1–5 business days.
If you need the equipment to replace a broken-down machine, we can deliver it sooner to minimise your downtime and loss of revenue.
By using second-hand hospitality equipment that might otherwise end up in a landfill, you’re prolonging the life of a durable asset and minimising your business’s impact on our planet. Kudos to you!
Item photography, cataloguing and auditing for refurbishment requirements.
Dis-assembly, deep cleaning, re-assembly and run testing.
Servicing by qualified technicians to meet required electrical, gas and food safety standards.
Final checks, quality assurance and studio photography, ready for the online store.
Safely wrapped, secured and ready for delivery Australia wide.
Choosing the right can be tricky. And what if your business quickly outgrows the equipment, or changes direction and needs different equipment?
Rent–Try–Buy solves this problem by allowing you to try the equipment before deciding whether to buy it. The manageable weekly rental payments also help your business maintain a positive cash flow.
Not what you’re looking for?
More than two-thirds of our Certified Used equipment customers finance their equipment.
We source our ‘Certified Used’ commercial kitchen equipment from businesses we know and trust, mostly customers who’ve either upgraded their rental equipment or returned it to us due to a change in their circumstances.
(Our Rent–Try–Buy finance solution allows customers to upgrade their rental equipment at any time or, after 12 months, return it without being penalised.)
We also source selected clearance equipment (comprising runout, used, ex-demo and scratch-and-dent equipment) from trusted third-party suppliers.
You can order used (‘Certified Used’ and clearance) equipment from us directly (online or by calling us on 1800 154 561) or indirectly, via one of hundreds of hospitality-equipment dealers nationwide that we partner with.
If your ‘Certified Used’ or clearance equipment develops a covered fault within the three-month warranty period, call us on 1800 154 161; we’ll offer you a free repair, replacement, or refund.
If the service agent determines the fault or breakdown was due to misuse of the equipment, the customer is liable for the cost of any repairs.
Once the equipment is out of warranty, the customer will be responsible for meeting any breakdown-repair costs.
Rest assured that, if your equipment develops a fault or breaks down after its warranty has expired, we can help you quickly find a repairer or source a replacement machine in as little as a day.
