Welcome to Blackout Equipment LLC, we are a Chicago located dealer of new and used
CNC and manual metalworking machinery. Since our beginning in the machine tool world
in 1981, field selling skills by face-to-face interaction was the norm. Recently, our team
has traded shoe leather for laptops, to better communicate with and serve our
customers.
With more than forty years of experience, we are well-versed in chip, fabrication, CNC, and
manual machinery. We help customers—from start-ups buying their first machine to large
corporations placing repeat orders—find the right equipment for their needs. Initial
customer assistance generally consists of verifying that blueprints match the machine's
capacity, confirming power requirements, and arranging an inspection visit, and it starts by
listening to your requirements.
Our years in the business have also led us into the logistics world where a machine deal
can turn sour if care is not taken in delivering it right to the customer’s door. We account
for details, like knowing that the manuals of a used machine can be incredibly important to
the end user’s maintenance staff. The machine tool requirements of a customer can mean
searching beyond our borders and assisting with international logistics with our freight
forwarding partner, dealing with customs, container type, drayage, insurance, and crating,
ingredients of a pain free, successful transaction. With more than 40 years of experience,
including time as an International Customer Service Manager, you gain awareness of
potential issues that may arise.
Despite recent automation online, our sales remain person-to-person, business owner to
end user. We pride ourselves on building long-lasting relationships with our clients, offering
not only machinery but also guidance and support throughout their purchasing journey.
Our commitment to transparency, reliability, and personalized service ensures that each
customer receives the attention and expertise necessary to make informed decisions.
