Heavy Equipment Salvage

One of the best ways to find affordable heavy equipment and parts is through a heavy equipment salvage yard. Similar to an auto wrecking yard, these companies feature broken down heavy equipment and parts that have been rebuilt from otherwise broken machines. We have put together this web page to give you the most complete information on equipment salvaging available.

When we talk about heavy equipment, we are referring to the large trucks and machinery used in agriculture, forestry, and road, home, and business construction. This does not include lawn mowers or trailers. Instead, we mean large tractors and trucks such as backhoes, excavators, graters, loaders, pavers, scrapers, skidders, and more.

The Salvaging Process. The way heavy equipment salvaging works is relatively simple. Salvaging yards purchase broken machinery. They then salvage any usable parts, and have the rest of the equipment compacted. Occasionally heavy equipment will come in that is completely salvageable. In these cases, salvaging yards rebuild the machinery and sell it at highly reduced prices. Salvaged parts and equipment are cheaper because wrecking yards pay very little for the machinery. The only drawback is selection. You can never be certain which parts and equipment will be available. As a result, many salvaging yards are members in salvaging networks so they can ship equipment between yards if it isn't initially available.
