Sign the bill of sale, get paid, we load and go.

Would a private sale pay more?
Sometimes, for a clean, newer machine and a seller with time. We're best for machines that sit, have problems, are hard to reach, or need to go now.
Why owners sell
Selling tips
A few photos and numbers save a lot of back and forth.
Both sides, the undercarriage, the boom and stick, the cab, the engine bay and the hour meter. Add the serial plate if you can reach it. Daylight photos from a few steps back show more than close-ups, and five to eight are usually enough.
If it runs, a short video of it starting, swinging and tracking tells us more than any description. Keep it short: start it, swing both ways, track forward and back, and work the boom and stick.
List the buckets, thumb, coupler and any other attachments that go with the machine. Attachments in a shed rather than on the machine still count; a photo is enough.
Leaks, warning lights, slow functions or anything that's been repaired. A quote based on the truth won't change on pickup day. Warning lights and fault codes on the display are worth a photo too.
Yard, job site or farm. Tell us about access for a lowbed or tilt deck. Tell us about gates, soft ground, overhead wires and how close a truck can park.
A bill of sale or purchase invoice, and a lien release if it was financed. If the machine is company owned, bring proof that you can sign for the company.
We check the machine matches what we talked about, sign the bill of sale with you, pay you, then walk or winch it onto the lowbed. Most pickups take under an hour once we're on site.
Contractors retiring a few machines at once can have them priced together. We plan the pickups so they don't get in the way of work at your yard.
A figure doesn't commit you to anything. If our number doesn't suit you, that's fine.
Questions
Most of the time goes into scheduling the truck. Once we have the details and photos, an offer usually comes back quickly, and pickup is booked around your site and the right trailer being free.
Not if the machine matches what we were told. If something big was missed, like a cracked boom or a missing engine, we talk about it before loading, not after.
Someone needs to sign and hand over the keys, and it helps to have a person on site who knows the machine. If that's a foreman or a neighbour, tell us ahead of time.
Yes. If you have two excavators, or an excavator plus a skid steer or a dump trailer, mention all of them. One trip is usually better for everyone.
No fees and no charge for the quote. For most machines the pickup is built into the offer. If your site needs something unusual, like a second machine to help load, you hear about it first.
Yes. Tell us what you want to keep before we price the machine, because attachments change the figure.
Send the walkaround sheet with a few details and we'll call with a number.
