Where is the best place to sell used Automation Systems in Canada?

The best place to sell a used automation system in Canada is wherever you can reach the most qualified buyers—manufacturers and integrators that match your application, controls stack, and line requirements— rather than just collecting “views.” Automation systems sell best when listings are clear on what the system does, cycle time/throughput, included hardware (PLCs, servos, vision, conveyors), safety components, and what documentation is available (electrical prints, programs, manuals), and when the process can manage technical review, decommissioning, and logistics cleanly.

ListingHippo helps facilities sell automation systems across Canada, including machine-tending cells, palletizing systems, robotic weld cells, assembly automation, packaging automation lines, vision inspection systems, conveyor/sortation systems with controls, test stands, custom fixtures, and complete integrated production lines. We promote your system to qualified buyers, price it using real market context, and manage the sale from first inquiry through funds and pickup.

  • More buyers: Reach serious manufacturers and integrators across Canada and internationally.
  • Better outcomes: Documentation-rich listings + targeted promotion outperform generic marketplaces.
  • Less disruption: Faster sales with fewer unqualified inquiries.
  • Logistics handled: Decommissioning planning, labeling, crating, and freight coordination as needed.

How much can I get for my used Automation System in Canada?

Automation system values vary widely based on application fit, controls stack, throughput, and completeness. Two systems that look similar can trade at very different prices depending on whether programs, electrical drawings, and safety documentation are included, and how easily the system can be redeployed. Key value drivers typically include:

  • System type: Palletizing, machine tending, assembly, welding, packaging automation, inspection/test, sortation, etc.
  • Application & throughput: Cycle time, parts/min, uptime history, and real-world production performance.
  • Controls stack: PLC brand/model, HMI, servo drives, motion controllers, networks (EtherNet/IP, Profinet, etc.).
  • Robotics/actuation: Robots/cobots, actuators, pneumatics, grippers, tool changers, and end effectors.
  • Vision & sensing: Cameras, lighting, sensors, scanners, measurement systems, and software packages.
  • Safety system: Safety PLC/relays, fencing, interlocks, light curtains, scanners, and compliance documentation.
  • Documentation & code: Electrical prints, I/O lists, BOMs, manuals, PLC/robot programs, backups, and passwords/keys.
  • Changeover & flexibility: Part family fit, fixtures, quick-change tooling, recipe handling, and format parts.
  • Condition & history: Maintenance logs, faults/alarm history, rebuilds, and component life left.
  • Completeness: Whether conveyors, guarding, cabinets, tooling, and spares are included.
  • Utilities & footprint: Electrical, compressed air, vacuum, space, and installation requirements.
  • Logistics: Decommissioning complexity, labeling/disassembly needs, crating, and pickup access.

At ListingHippo, we help you price automation systems to maximize return while still attracting qualified buyers. For a fast, realistic range, send a system overview (what it does), cycle time/throughput, controls/robot details, documentation list (prints/programs), and photos/video of the system running.
