Sell My Plant Machinery FAQs

We provide free valuations within 24 hours. Simply fill out our online form with details about your machinery, and our expert team will assess your equipment and get back to you with a competitive quote.

We buy all types of plant machinery including excavators, dumpers, telehandlers, forklifts, rollers, dozers, backhoe loaders, skid steers, and more. Whether it's tracked or wheeled, running or non-running, we're interested. We purchase equipment from all major manufacturers including JCB, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, and many others.

Yes! We buy machinery in all conditions. Whether your equipment is fully operational, needs repairs, or is completely non-running, we'll make you a fair offer. Our team has the expertise to assess and value machinery in any condition.

All quotes are subject to physical inspection by our collection team. Once we agree on a valuation, our team will visit to inspect the machinery. If your description and photos match the actual condition, we'll release funds at the agreed price and transfer them to your account immediately before the vehicle leaves. However, if there's a mismatch between the description and the actual condition during inspection, we'll re-evaluate the quote on-site and work with you to come to a fair agreement. You'll have your money the same day we collect.

Yes, we provide free UK-wide collection. Our experienced logistics team will arrange a convenient time to collect your machinery from anywhere in the United Kingdom. All transportation costs are covered by us.

To give you the most accurate valuation, we'll need basic details including the make, model, year, serial number or VIN, current condition, and operating hours. Photos of the machinery from multiple angles (including any damage or wear) help us provide a more precise quote. Our online form guides you through exactly what we need.

We are happy to provide a quote on machinery that is on finance, but all finance must be cleared before we purchase the vehicle. We are happy to assist in the clearing of finance agreements. Contact us to discuss your specific situation and we'll guide you through the process.

No special preparation is required. However, if you can ensure the machinery is accessible for our collection team and have any relevant documentation (service records, MOT, proof of ownership) ready, it will help speed up the process. We handle everything else.

Our valuations are based on current market conditions, the make and model, age, condition, operating hours, service history, and demand for that particular type of equipment. We use industry-leading data and our extensive experience to ensure you get a fair, competitive price.

Absolutely not. Our valuation service is completely free with no obligation. You're under no pressure to accept our offer. We want you to feel confident in your decision. However, please note that we only hold quotes for 24 hours. After that period, if you want to accept the quote, we would have to re-evaluate the machine based on the current state of the market, at which point the price is subject to change.

In the case that we deem your description to be incorrect, your quote is subject to change on collection day. To ensure this doesn't happen, we ask that all photos submitted are no longer than a week old and accurately represent the current condition of the machinery.
