A practical equipment enquiry
Selling Old Machinery Requires More Than a Vehicle Description
Heavy equipment can remain on a farm, job site or commercial property long after it stops being useful. A potential buyer needs to understand the exact machine, ownership, operating condition, size, weight, included attachments and how the site can be reached.
True North Scrap Car Solutions has documented projects involving a Komatsu mini excavator, a Komatsu crawler crane and a large steel container near Chilliwack. Those examples show experience assessing unusual, bulky items. They do not mean every machine, container, weight or location can be accepted.
Send reliable specifications and current photos first. True North can then compare the enquiry with its present buying criteria and transport capacity before discussing an inspection, offer or handover.

Build a Complete Equipment Profile
Accurate specifications let True North screen the enquiry without relying on assumptions from a few photos.
Identity and Data Plate
Photograph the original plate clearly and provide:
- Manufacturer and exact model
- Serial number
- Year when known
- Configuration or variant
- Ownership records that match
Dimensions and Weight
Use reliable documentation where possible and label estimates:
- Transport length
- Overall width
- Overall or transport height
- Operating or shipping weight
- Attachment dimensions
Hours and Operation
Explain what the machine can safely do today:
- Hour-meter reading
- Starting and running status
- Driving, steering and braking
- Hydraulic or control operation
- Recent major service or repairs
Tires, Tracks and Undercarriage
A machine may run but still be difficult to move:
- Tires installed and holding air
- Track condition and tension
- Rollers and sprockets
- Visible undercarriage damage
- Ability to travel to a loading area
Attachments and Completeness
List everything included and anything missing:
- Buckets, forks and blades
- Booms and counterweights
- Canopy or cab
- Loose attachments
- Removed engines, controls or hydraulics
Leaks, Damage and Hazards

Farm, job site and commercial access
Show the Route to the Machine
Transport feasibility can matter as much as the machinery itself. A complete site picture helps identify whether gates, soft ground, buildings, overhead hazards or turning limitations need more review.
Send wide photos rather than only close-ups. Include a view from the road entrance, the narrowest gate, the tightest turn, the ground beside the machine and a possible staging or loading area. Mention property rules, site orientation requirements and work schedules that could affect access.
From enquiry to decision
How the Heavy Equipment Offer Process Works
A machinery enquiry begins with a capacity check. It should not be treated as an accepted job, confirmed offer or scheduled transport until the details are reviewed and the parties agree.
Submit the Equipment
Send identification, specifications, condition, attachments, ownership details and site photos through the form.
Capacity Review
True North checks whether the equipment type, dimensions, condition, location and access fit current buying capacity.
Questions or Inspection
The team may request documents, more measurements, clearer photos or an on-site assessment before proceeding.
Offer and Responsibilities
If an offer is possible, confirm the exact machine, attachments, assumptions, transport roles and offer terms.
Agreed Handover
If both parties proceed, verify ownership, documents, payment arrangements, site preparation and handover steps.
Loading equipment, carriers, permits, transport, payment method and timing must be confirmed for the specific transaction. This page does not promise that True North supplies any particular carrier, lifting equipment or transport arrangement.
Equipment appraisal factors
What Can Affect a Heavy Equipment Offer?
The machine’s possible value is only one part of a workable transaction. Condition, completeness, lawful ownership and practical transport can materially change the review.
Identity and Demand
Manufacturer, model, configuration and current demand help define how the complete machine may be valued or used.
Condition and Completeness
A complete non-running machine differs from a partly dismantled unit missing an engine, hydraulics, controls or counterweights.
Hours and Maintenance
Operating hours add context, while service records, repairs, working environment and storage history help explain condition.
Attachments Included
Buckets, forks, blades, booms and loose attachments should be identified so both parties understand what the enquiry includes.
Transport Complexity
Width, height, weight, distance, access, permits, loading equipment and route requirements can affect whether a transaction works.
Ownership and Timing
Clear authority and a realistic site schedule make planning easier. Liens, leases or urgent deadlines may require added coordination.
Documented local examples
Chilliwack-Area Equipment Experience
These historical projects show why specifications, condition and access must be reviewed together. They are evidence of past work, not blanket promises for future machines.
Komatsu Mini Excavator
A mini excavator and a second machine had been out of service for years on an overgrown rural property. The project demonstrates why ground, access and machine photos belong in the initial enquiry.
Komatsu Crawler Crane
True North’s existing content documents a Komatsu crawler-crane project. Future cranes still require individual review because model, configuration, components, site and transport vary substantially.
Large Steel Container
A large steel container was handled on rural property outside Chilliwack. It remains a historical example; current container enquiries must be confirmed before a seller assumes the service is available.
See more documented vehicles and equipment on the Vehicle Purchase Stories page.
Before a date is confirmed
Clarify Loading, Transport and Handover
Responsibility cannot be assumed from a website page. Before accepting an offer or setting a date, both parties should understand the machine, included items, site preparation, documents, payment arrangements and who supplies each part of the move.

Heavy Equipment Buyer FAQs
Use these answers to prepare a complete request without assuming acceptance, transport or payment terms.
Does True North buy non-running heavy equipment?
Selected non-running complete equipment may be considered. Provide the model, serial number, specifications, missing components, condition, dimensions, weight, location and site access so True North can review current capacity.
Does True North buy excavators and mini excavators?
True North has documented a Komatsu mini-excavator project and may consider selected excavators. Acceptance depends on the exact machine, size, condition, ownership, site and transport requirements.
Can I submit a forklift for an offer?
You can submit a complete forklift for individual review. Include the make, model, serial number, fuel type, rated capacity, mast height, hours, operating condition, tire condition and building or gate clearance. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.
Does True North buy cranes?
True North has documented a Komatsu crawler-crane project. Future crane enquiries are reviewed individually because the model, configuration, components, size, site and transport requirements can vary substantially.
Can equipment be considered from a farm or rural property?
Possibly. Send photos of the road, gate, turns, ground conditions, overhead clearance and proposed loading area. Soft or seasonal ground and restricted access may affect whether the project fits current capacity.
Who arranges loading and transportation?
Loading and transport responsibility must be confirmed for each item. Do not assume True North supplies a particular carrier, lifting machine, permits or operator. Obtain transaction-specific terms before agreeing or preparing the site.
What ownership documents should I prepare?
Prepare available purchase invoices, bills of sale, registration where applicable, serial-number records, lien or lease information and company authorization. The person approving the sale must have lawful authority to do so.
When and how will payment be made?
The payment method and timing must be confirmed for the specific transaction before handover. This page does not publish a universal payment promise. Ask for the agreed terms together with the machine, attachments, documents and transport responsibilities.
Does True North buy or sell individual equipment parts?
No. True North reviews complete machinery and does not operate a retail parts counter. It does not sell individual engines, hydraulic components, tracks, buckets, controls or other used parts.
Can equipment outside Chilliwack be submitted?
Yes, you can submit it for review. Acceptance depends on the machine, exact location, distance, access, transport and schedule. Check the Areas We Serve page, then obtain specific confirmation for heavy equipment.
