Heavy equipment firms eye used gear
Caterpillar, Doosan look at secondhand market prospects

Global major manufacturers of construction machines, such as Caterpillar Inc and Doosan Infracore Co Ltd are looking into businesses in the used gear market, of which the growth has already outpaced that of the new machine market.
