Why the Nameplate Is Step One
Every generator's identity lives on its data tag: manufacturer, model, kW rating, voltage, RPM, and serial number. With those six data points plus an hour reading, an experienced buyer can price a unit within a tight range without ever visiting the site — which is why our process starts with a photo instead of a site visit that wastes your week. It's also why our offers hold at pickup: the machine either matches its nameplate and photos, or it doesn't, and honest photos mean no surprises on either side.
Between offer and pickup, everything logistical belongs to us — disconnects, fuel, rigging, and freight anywhere in the 50 states. The process is the same whether you're selling one diesel genset or a fleet of towables. Not sure your unit qualifies? Check what we buy or just text the tag to 954-740-1983 — asking is free.
Process FAQs
How fast do offers really go out?
Common models — CAT 3512s, Cummins QSK units, Generac standbys — are usually priced the same business day because we know their market cold. Unusual configurations may take a day or two while we confirm comps.
Is the offer really firm, or does it change at pickup?
The offer is firm against the condition you described. As long as the nameplate, hours, and condition match what you sent, the number doesn't move. That's the whole point of asking for photos up front.
How do I get paid, and when?
Wire transfer or certified check, your choice, issued and confirmed before the unit leaves your site. We never ask sellers to release equipment first and wait for payment after.
