Why Portugal’s Second-Hand Drilling Rig Market Is Booming

Portugal’s construction sector grew 10% in 2023 (Statista), pushing demand for affordable heavy machinery. A used engineering drilling rig here costs 40–60% less than new models – typically €20,000–€120,000 based on age and specs.

Real Case: How Lisbon Firm Saved €78,000

Lusodrill Engineering bought a 2018 Soilmec SR-30 rig for €62,000 last month. A new model would’ve cost €140,000+. “We used the savings to hire 3 new operators,” said CEO Marco Silva. “Always verify service records through platforms like MachineryZone Europe.”
