Selling construction machinery: how to prepare
Updated on October 29, 2026
A well-described construction machine finds a buyer faster. A little preparation avoids questions and brings bids that match the machine.
The key details
- Manufacturer, model, year, operating hours
- Operating weight and engine power
- Tracks or tyres and their condition
- Quick coupler, attachments, auxiliary hydraulics
- Known defects and recent major repairs
Photos and documents
Show the machine from all sides, plus cab, hour meter, type plate, tracks or tyres and attachments. Service records, the operating manual and inspection reports (e.g. the annual safety inspection) help buyers assess it.
Set your price expectation
Decide beforehand the minimum amount you want to achieve. On Machinooo, you enter this internal price expectation with the listing – bidders never see it. It only serves as hidden guidance for the bid scale.
Selling with sealed bids
Listing is free. Verified companies bid sealed, you see all bids with their history and decide freely. Your company name stays hidden; after acceptance, the Machinooo team coordinates payment and handover.
