Sell Your Crane in San Diego

Cranes are high-value assets that require specialized knowledge to appraise and transport. We buy all crane types: rough terrain cranes, all-terrain cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, boom trucks, and carry deck cranes. Tonnage, boom length, certification status, and structural inspection history all factor into our offers. We handle the complex logistics of crane transport — including disassembly, permitting, and heavy-haul coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • How fast can I get paid for my crane in San Diego?

    It depends on the machine and its paperwork rather than on us. A unit with a clean title and clear photos has nothing to resolve before collection. What lengthens a sale is almost always a lien to clear, a title in a prior owner's name, or an unsettled estate — so if one of those applies, say so at the start and it can be worked in parallel.

  • Do I need to transport my crane?

    No — we handle all transportation at our expense. We'll arrange pickup from your location in San Diego or anywhere in the SoCal area. Running or not, the transport is matched to the machine — a seized machine is winched or trailered rather than driven.

  • Do you buy non-running cranes?

    Yes, we buy cranes in any condition — running, non-running, damaged, or incomplete. Our offers are based on fair market value adjusted for condition.

  • What documents do I need?

    You'll need proof of ownership (title or registration) and a valid ID. For commercial equipment, a bill of sale is sufficient. If you have maintenance records, they can help increase your offer.

  • Do you buy multiple cranes at once?

    Yes. We buy single units through full fleets. A fleet is priced and collected as one job rather than machine by machine, so you get a single number to weigh against selling it piecemeal.
