Sell used machinery without arranging an auction
Plant may be surplus because a project has ended, a fleet has changed or repair is no longer economical. A direct purchase can avoid auction fees, public advertising and extended storage.
For an initial assessment, provide the make, model, serial number, approximate hours, working condition, known faults and location. Access is especially important where loading or specialist transport may be needed.
What helps us value used plant
- Make, model, serial number and year
- Recorded or estimated operating hours
- Whether it starts, tracks, lifts and operates
- Known hydraulic, engine or structural faults
- Attachments and buckets included
- Site access and loading or low-loader requirements
Choose the guide for your machine
For compact tracked machines, our mini digger selling guide covers wear, attachments and loading. For midi, large or wheeled machines, use the excavator buying page. Selling several machines? List each model, condition and included attachments separately so the package can be assessed.
