Heavy Equipment Sellers Online

There are pros and cons to purchasing from either a live in-person heavy equipment auction or an online auction. Sometimes live auctions can be difficult to reach since many people that need to purchase heavy equipment tend to work on jobsites that are more removed from urban areas. 

With online sellers, that problem disappears when you can make offers anytime, from anywhere, and have the offer go directly to the seller without issue. If you can’t find what you need within Ontario or at a location near enough to you, online sellers might just have the right equipment for you, and Trusted Dispatch can help bring it to you. One of our favourite online sellers is AgDealer.
