United Arab Emirates
No seller in the Miami area has advertised a machine here so far; the US marketplace is new and the shelves are still empty. If you want to buy, post a purchase request with the type, size and delivery address. If you own equipment you would like to sell, put it on the site without paying a listing fee while the launch period lasts.
A buyer and a seller deal one to one. You contact the owner, inspect the machine, agree the amount and pay the owner. EquipmentsFinder does not hold your money and takes no commission. Every purchase request a South Florida buyer posts is visible to sellers who join.
Developers of high-rise residential towers, marine and port contractors, site-work crews, paving firms and landscape businesses are the usual buyers. Equipment dealers and rental companies also stock up ahead of busy seasons. Fort Lauderdale and Miami are one market for most machines, and a trailer links the two in under an hour on a quiet day.
Used iron that has lived near salt water deserves a slower look. Check for rust on the undercarriage, the boom and its pins, electrical connectors and the underside of the frame. Machines that worked in wet limestone pits may show wear on buckets and tracks. Ask whether the unit sat through past storm seasons in an open yard or under cover.
A new machine comes with a manufacturer warranty and a dealer who can supply parts. A used one costs less up front and suits a shorter horizon, provided its hours and service record can be verified. For a single contract, renting in Miami can be the cheaper answer.
Expect a bill of sale that carries the serial number, and ask the seller to confirm that no lien remains. Sales tax on equipment depends on the buyer and the deal, so have it written as a separate line. Titled road vehicles need a transferable title.
Post a purchase request describing the machine you want. Sellers who see it can call you directly.
Yes, always. See it start, work and idle, and bring a mechanic when the purchase is large.
Often, yes. Ask the seller for a delivered quote, and compare it with the cost of collecting the machine yourself.
No. Buyers pay nothing to the site, and the payment goes to the seller.
Say what you need, the rough budget, the condition you will accept and where it must be delivered.
