Sell Your Used Yaskawa Motoman Robot
Yaskawa Motoman has one of the deepest installed bases in North American welding and handling, which means a deep used market to match. Fabrication shops, automotive suppliers, and integrators regularly buy used Motoman robots to add capacity, replace an aging arm with a like-for-like unit, or build a welding cell without new-equipment lead times.
RobotsTrader.com is a classified marketplace for used robots, where your Motoman listing is found by buyers searching this brand specifically. Your first listing is free for 30 days, and you never pay a commission on your sale.
Motoman models buyers look for
The MH series — machines like the MH5, MH12, and MH50 — covers general material handling and machine tending and is a constant presence in used listings and searches. The newer GP series (GP7, GP8, GP12, GP25, GP50) is what buyers look for when they want current-generation handling performance. For arc welding — Motoman’s home territory — the MA series (MA1440, MA2010) and the AR series (AR1440, AR1730, AR2010) are the robots welding shops ask for by name.
Welding buyers care about the package, not just the arm: the controller generation (YRC1000, DX200, NX100, or FS100), whether a welding power source and wire feeder are included, positioners, and the condition of the torch and dress out. A listing that spells out the complete cell contents — robot, controller, positioner, power source — is the listing that gets the call.
