Used Heavy Equipment http://usedheavyequipmentauctions.com Fri, 03 Sep 2010 15:10:50 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Don’t Waste Your Valuable Time – Find Commercial Trucks For Sale Online http://usedheavyequipmentauctions.com/commercial-trucks-for-sale http://usedheavyequipmentauctions.com/commercial-trucks-for-sale#comments Sat, 25 Apr 2009 18:24:04 +0000 MikePiston http://usedheavyequipmentauctions.com/?p=128 Commercial Trucks For SaleFinding  used commercial trucks for sale at a reasonable price and in good condition is not an easy task.  There are many pitfalls to avoid. Classified ads are not always a reliable source of locating commercial trucks for sale.  Many times the truck depicted in the ad bears no resemblance to the actual vehicle.  If the ad reads "body a little rough", it could be another term for "rust bucket".  "Engine needs work" could mean a complete overhaul is necessary.

Picture this scenario.  A man who needs a dump truck for his excavating business sees a classified ad in the local newspaper.  He calls the number given and talks to the owner who assures him the truck is in excellent condition inside and out.   The owner of the excavating company makes arrangements to see the truck.  He is very disappointed when he actually sees the truck and drives it.  The body has places where rust has completely eaten all the way through.  The truck is difficult to start and the dump bed only raises half the way.  The buyer wastes part of his day and still hasn't found a truck.

Buying used commercial trucks from a private owner is risky.  It is possible to find commercial trucks for sale by individuals that are in excellent running order and do not cost an arm and a leg.  On the other hand, the owner may be trying to unload the truck because of problems he is experiencing with it.  Without a warranty or some type of guarantee, the buyer has to foot the bill for all the repairs himself.

The same thing applies to commercial truck dealerships.  The used trucks that they have for sale have usually been acquired as trade-ins on new models.  There are some advantages of a dealership over a private owner.  A dealership has mechanics to check out the truck and find any problems before it is offered for sale.  A dealer should also provide at least a limited warranty.

So what is the alternative when looking for a used truck?  Search the Internet for online auctions specializing in commercial trucks for sale.  This is the most convenient way to view a large selection of trucks for sale at one time.  The buyer can see pictures of the trucks and read descriptions of them.  This is a distinct advantage over a classified ad without a picture.  With so many types of trucks for sale, a buyer can find anything from garbage trucks to flat beds at online auctions and make his purchase with the click of a mouse.

Over the years they have changed quite a bit. Fire trucks started out as hand drawn carts that were used for many years.  Eventually fire fighting equipment was mounted on a chassis and the fire truck, or fire engine, was born. Through the years the quality of the equipment has gotten better. The capacity of the engines became such that more men and equipment could be rushed to fires in a shorter amount of time than in the past. On top of this, water was able to be taken along with the truck to help fight fires. Because firetrucks take a lot of punishment in their daily duties, their useful service life is what a lot of fire departments observe.

Big city, and county Fire departments, typically purchase new equipment every one to six years, or roughly 100,000 miles, which ever comes first. Most of the time they have a fairly good budget that allows this turnover of equipment.


Because of this there are usually quite a few firetrucks for sale. The less well-funded volunteer fire departments generally keep their equipment a bit longer; However they too change out their fire trucks on a regular basis.

Because there is a turnover of fire equipment a private buyer can often find some antique fire trucks for sale. One question a lot of people have been considering when buying or looking for Antique Fire Trucks For Sale, is where to look for them. Often times it's best to go to the fire department itself and ask around at the station.

In this day and age when nonprofit organization wants to raise money they need to find a certain niche that appeals to a large segment of the population. The committee for a non profit organization I know of went in circles trying to find such an item. Ideas came and went until a certain idea was put forth. There is one such item that appeals to both children and adults alike. That item is a well used fire truck. They are big and red and practically yell"I'm here to help". The organization I know of wanted to raise money on a consistent basis to fund children's programs. It was the consensus of everyone in this organization that a fire truck of some sort should be purchased to be included in their fund raising efforts. One problem was locating Used Fire Trucks For Sale. Another concern was what type of fire truck should be purchased.

It was finally decided that the nonprofit organization would purchase either a hand drawn fire truck or a horse drawn fire truck. This decision was reached after much debate.The reason for this was both cost and of the minimal upkeep requirements. The nonprofit finally decided upon a horse drawn fire engine. That decision now dictated committee members finding manufacturers of this type of horse drawn antique fire trucks. The name that kept coming up was Seagrave fire engines. Other company names were mentioned; however Seagrave was the manufacturer that the nonprofit wanted to go with.

Then came the daunting task of trying to locate  used fire trucks for sale. At one point a classified ad was placed in two local newspapers. The ad essentially asked if anyone was willing to sell a horse drawn fire engine if they had one. Also everybody involved with the organization went on the Internet to see if they could locate used fire trucks in this fashion. Eventually they found a used fire truck for sale. It was found in the state of Ohio and it was in very good condition. The only problem was that it had to be transported to the state of Arizona. This turned out to be okay because of some of the arrangements the organization had with a nationwide moving company.

garbage-truckThe Internet has changed the way that we shop for things forever. Once upon a time, if you needed something like used garbage trucks, for example, you had to start by looking in your local paper.

Before the advent of the Internet, business owners looked to equipment dealers and auctions to purchase their used heavy equipment.  Some times it was necessary to go to the expense of traveling to auctions located in distant cities and states to find affordable used equipment.  The cost of transporting the equipment home would incur additional expense.  If a buyer was out bid at the auction or could not find the equipment he was looking for; the trip would be a waste of time and money.


Buying from a used heavy equipment dealer is not always a good option, either.  The equipment offered for sale usually has been traded in on a newer model and may have mechanical problems or high hours of operation.  Instead of purchasing a reliable piece of used machinery, you might be taking on another person's problem that they wanted to be rid of.  And you should take into consideration how much money it will cost if your purchase has to be financed through the dealer.

So what are the alternatives for businesses looking for used machinery?  Try searching the Internet.  There are many web sites that feature used heavy equipment for sale.  You can look at hundreds of used machines without leaving the comfort of your own home.  Pictures, descriptions of the machinery, location, and prices are included in the information available.  Also, information regarding shipping of the equipment sold is provided.  Any used machinery you might need, from excavators to dump trucks, can be found on the Internet and offered at online auction.

The most useful tool on the Internet available to buyers is the online auction.  Buying used heavy equipment online is a convenient and economical solution for all your equipment needs.  No more costly trips to auctions and going from dealer to dealer searching for quality equipment at a low price.  Online auctions provide a large selection to choose from in addition to great deals.

The next time your business has a need for used heavy equipment, check out an online auction and find what you're looking for at an affordable price.
