Construction machinery commonly changes hands every week on Equipmentfacts auctions. Crawler excavators, mini excavators, and loader backhoes provide digging muscle for contractors and utilities; skid steers and wheel loaders carry the excavated earth and other materials away; and dozers cut work sites to grade before pavers and other asphalt and concrete equipment lay down the pavement. Telehandlers and cranes come into play for lifting building materials, while scissor, boom, and other aerial lifts help workers safely perform service or maintenance at height. Equipmentfacts sales also include construction attachments such as buckets, blades, mowers, snowplows, and more.

Farmers, ranchers, and coops rely on Equipmentfacts.com’s online access to live sales. The site facilitates auctions for tractors from low to high horsepower, the disks and other tillage equipment they pull, and planters and seed drills to sow a new crop with the help of precision ag systems. Sprayers, chemical applicators, and fertilizer spreaders nurture and protect the crop until it’s time for combines and other harvesters to bring it in with their platform heads, row crop heads, and grain carts. Equipmentfacts auctions frequently move ag attachments as well, including bale spears, augers, forks, loaders, buckets, hitches, snow blowers, rubber tracks, and tires.

Auctioneers sell all sorts of commercial trucks and trailers through Equipmentfacts, including over-the-road sleeper trucks for long-haul transport and day cab trucks for shorter runs. Buyers bid online or in person on box trucks and commercial vans for urban and regional deliveries; dump trucks and off-highway trucks for construction and mining; service trucks and tow trucks to help customers in need of repairs; cab and chassis trucks and various truck bodies to fit them; and many more.

Equipmentfacts auctions also cover semi-trailers including dry vans and reefer trailers to haul consumer goods and foodstuffs; RGN (removable gooseneck) lowboys, drop decks, step decks, and flatbeds for hauling heavy equipment; and grain hopper trailers for agriculture. Utility trailers, cargo box trailers, horse trailers, toy haulers, car carriers, and many other types of trailers also find new owners on Equipmentfacts.

If an auctioneer is selling it, you will likely find it up for sale on Equipmentfacts. The auction platform handles many farm and ranch sales of items such as hay and straw bales for feed and bedding, horses, cattle, hogs, sheep, goats, and other kinds of livestock. You’ll even see real estate on auction including farmland, hunting grounds, houses, buildings, and other properties.
