Transporting Equipment Bought at an Auction: Don’t Forget These Key Things

Just like several other businesses, the auction industry has been completely changed by the major advances in equipment and technology. There are several websites and applications that will allow people to bid on equipment and vehicles from any location they choose. However, there are some things that many people are unaware of when it comes to transporting equipment from the auction location to the chosen port.

Do you know what is required to transport equipment from the auction site to the departure lot without having any delays and without breaking the bank?

Know Who Will Transport Your Equipment

Before you make the decision on who will transport the equipment you plan to bid on, we encourage you to check all the details and all the fine print before you make a final decision. You will want to choose a transportation service that will provide coverage in case there is loss or damage. 

Remember To Pay For The Equipment

It is certainly possible that you may be able to make alternative arrangements with the auctioneer, but generally, if the equipment is not paid prior to the vehicle being picked up, you can expect to experience additional costs, delays, and many frustrations.

Do Not Leave Out Anything

When you were in school, did you teacher always remind you to double check your work before turning it in? One small error on your homework assignment could result in you receiving a passing grade. This is something we want you to remember because if you fail to double check the transporting information, you can send the transporter to the wrong address. You can misinform the transporter about the lot hours as well. Never assume anything and always double check everything. Your transporter is going to need every piece of information that will allow them to deliver your equipment in a timely manner.

Do you want your next equipment transport to be a smooth process?
