Beverwijk
If you decide to buy equipment at a low price, make sure that you communicate with the real seller. Find out as much information about the owner of the equipment as possible. One way of cheating is to represent yourself as a real company. In case of suspicion, inform us about this for additional control, through the feedback form.
Before you decide to make a purchase, carefully review several sales offers to understand the average cost of your chosen equipment. If the price of the offer you like is much lower than similar offers, think about it. A significant price difference may indicate hidden defects or an attempt by the seller to commit fraudulent acts.
Do not buy products which price is too different from the average price for similar equipment.
Do not give consent to dubious pledges and prepaid goods. In case of doubt, do not be afraid to clarify details, ask for additional photographs and documents for equipment, check the authenticity of documents, ask questions.
The most common type of fraud. Unfair sellers may request a certain amount of advance payment to “book” your right to purchase equipment. Thus, fraudsters can collect a large amount and disappear, no longer get in touch.
- Transfer of prepayment to the card
- Do not make an advance payment without paperwork confirming the process of transferring money, if during the communication the seller is in doubt.
- Transfer to the “Trustee” account
- Such a request should be alarming, most likely you are communicating with a fraudster.
- Transfer to a company account with a similar name
- Be careful, fraudsters may disguise themselves as well-known companies, making minor changes to the name. Do not transfer funds if the company name is in doubt.
- Substitution of own details in the invoice of a real company
- Before making a transfer, make sure that the specified details are correct, and whether they relate to the specified company.

Maintenance and condition
According to the seller, a fully overhauled gas turbine and reduction gearbox were installed in 2021. Therefore, this is not a new gas turbine or gearbox.
The installation was taken out of service in mid-December 2025 due to the planned demolition of the entire site. For this reason, the installation is offered for sale.
The control system has been decommissioned. As a result, the final operating hours and counters at shutdown can no longer be read.
The last documented operating data dates from October 2025:
Gas turbine operating hours: 33,202 hours
Gas turbine starts: 59 starts
Reduction gearbox operating hours: 33,202 hours
The installation continued operating after these readings until it was shut down in December 2025. Therefore, the actual final operating hours may be higher.
According to the seller, the installation operated properly until it was taken out of service. Based on the available maintenance records, inspection reports and borescope reports, HHNK and Onlineveilingmeester conclude that no abnormalities were reported other than normal wear and contamination.
An oil analysis dated 20 October 2025 showed normal levels of wear metals, moisture content and oil cleanliness. However, a new oil sample and a substantial oil top-up or oil change were recommended.
This summary is based solely on available historical reports and does not constitute a current technical condition assessment or any warranty. Interested parties are encouraged to review all available documentation themselves and, if desired, engage an independent technical expert before placing a bid.
