Heavy equipment appraisal Put a value behind your next decision.

Buying, selling, financing or insuring machinery? Tell us what needs valuing and why. We review your request for follow-up with an independent appraisal provider.

Request an appraisal

SHE reviews your request. You agree scope and fees with the provider.

The right appraisal starts with its purpose.

A machinery valuation should answer the decision in front of you. The intended use and recipient help determine the scope, value basis and report you need.

Buying, selling or planning a fleet

Request a valuation for a proposed purchase, disposal or business decision. Explain the decision, the assets involved and the date the value should reflect.

  • One machine or an equipment list
  • Condition, hours and maintenance history
  • Intended use and valuation date

Financing or insurance requirements

Ask the lender or insurer what it needs before commissioning a report. Share those requirements so the provider can confirm whether it can take the assignment.

  • Who will receive and rely on the report
  • Required qualifications and report format
  • Inspection needs and submission deadline

Desktop or on-site appraisal?

Desktop appraisal
Uses supplied asset details, photographs and records without an on-site inspection. The provider confirms whether the available evidence supports the assignment.
On-site appraisal
Includes a physical inspection. Equipment access, location, asset count and travel can affect the scope, timing and fee.
Confirm the report first
A listing’s asking price is not a professional appraisal. Confirm the value basis, report format and recipient requirements with the provider.

Equipment appraisal questions

How much does a heavy equipment appraisal cost?
The provider quotes the fee after reviewing asset count, equipment location, intended use, available records and inspection needs. There is no fixed appraisal price on this form. Confirm the scope, deliverable, deadline and fee before commissioning the work.
Can an equipment appraisal be completed online?
A desktop appraisal relies on supplied records, photographs and equipment information; an on-site appraisal includes a physical inspection. The provider determines which approach fits your case. Ask the intended recipient what report and appraiser qualifications it requires before agreeing to a scope.
What affects the value of used heavy equipment?
Make, model, age, operating hours, condition, maintenance, attachments and market demand can all matter. The provider evaluates the relevant evidence against the purpose and date of the appraisal. A listing price alone does not establish the asset’s value.
Will a bank or insurer accept the appraisal?
Acceptance is determined by the recipient. Ask for its requirements for the appraiser, value basis, inspection and report before commissioning work. Sending a request through SHE does not establish that a report will meet those requirements.
Can I request an appraisal for an entire fleet?
Describe the asset count, equipment types and locations in your request. The provider will confirm capacity, what records it needs and whether inspections are necessary before quoting the work.
Does SHE perform the service?
Search Heavy Equipment receives and coordinates your inquiry. An independent provider performs the work under a separate agreement. No account or scanner subscription is required to request a service; provider fees and terms are agreed separately.
