Nothing is advertised for sale in Austin right now. The US marketplace has just launched, and sellers here have yet to arrive. A buyer can send a purchase request giving the type, size and budget, while a seller can list a machine free.
This is a meeting place, not a dealership. You find an advert, call the seller, and arrange the price, the inspection and the pickup together, then pay the seller. Title transfer and sales tax are part of that arrangement, and buyers pay the site nothing.
Developers of office, apartment and tech campuses need cranes, lifts and loaders. Contractors on the I-35 rebuild and other road projects buy trucks, compactors and trailers. Industrial builders working on large plants around Taylor look for earthmoving fleets, and the many homebuilders on the edge of the metro lean on skid steers and backhoes.
Hill Country limestone punishes steel, tires and cutting edges. Buckets, teeth, tracks and tires wear fast on rock, and breaker circuits take a beating. When you check a used machine, measure undercarriage wear instead of trusting hour meters alone, and look for cracked booms or repaired buckets that suggest rough digging.
A one-off project may cost less with equipment rental in Austin, and renting lets you test a model.
Compare the sale pages of Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth and San Antonio.
Ask each seller what the machine did for a living, how it was serviced and whether it ever worked near water or on rock. A good seller keeps records and offers a test. Treat a missing service history as a reason to lower your offer or walk away.
Not yet. A purchase request lets sellers who join reach you.
No. You deal with the owner and pay the owner only.
A bill of sale with serial numbers, the title for road vehicles and a lien search.
Yes. Ask for a demonstration and bring a mechanic.
