A straightforward way to sell used excavation plant
Selling an excavator privately can mean specialist advertising, repeated enquiries and arranging viewings for a machine that may still be working on site. A direct enquiry lets you explain what you have, where it is and why it is being sold before collection is discussed.
Condition is considered as a whole. High hours, worn tracks, hydraulic leaks, cosmetic damage or a non-running engine do not automatically rule a machine out, but they must be described honestly so any initial figure is realistic.
Details that help us value an excavator
- Manufacturer, model, year and approximate operating hours
- Operating weight or machine size, if known

- Undercarriage, tracks or tyres and any known wear
