Sell My Machinery

Plan your sale with a clear payout, channel and replacement strategy so your business stays operational.

Current Market Demand Snapshot

Machinery demand tracks project activity and asset condition. Documented maintenance, service hours and attachment condition are core valuation drivers.

Pricing outcomes vary by condition, service history, kilometres/hours, modifications, and urgency of sale. Use multiple channel quotes before deciding.

Prepare Your Machinery for Sale

  • Compile service history, registration, warranty records and accessory receipts.
  • Fix high-visibility faults that materially affect buyer confidence and valuation.
  • Capture clear photos and note operational condition honestly.
  • Confirm payout amount if finance is active and document transfer process.
  • Prepare replacement timing so asset downtime is minimized.

Paying Out Finance and Upgrading

  1. Request a formal payout letter and confirm expiry date.
  2. Compare sale channel offers against payout and expected net proceeds.
  3. If upgrading, structure new finance timeline before releasing current asset.
  4. Coordinate payout + replacement settlement to reduce operational downtime.
