Construction equipment buyer — MachineryBarn serves Northern California

Where we buy

Our Service Areas

We buy heavy equipment across three Northern California counties — from the Sacramento Valley floor to the Sierra Nevada summit.

Why Northern California Contractors Choose MachineryBarn

MachineryBarn buys across Placer, Nevada, and Yuba counties, with offers that account for the terrain, the industries, and the equipment that keeps Northern California moving.

  • Written Appraisals

    Send the details and photos and the offer comes back in writing, priced on the machine you describe.

  • Fair Market Pricing

    Offers are priced from the machine you describe — make, model, year, meter reading and condition — and put in writing, so you can weigh the number rather than guess at it.

  • Mountain-Access Transport

    Transport is matched to the site — winch trucks and lowboys where the terrain needs them — for steep ranch roads, timber landings, and remote job sites.

  • Condition-Based Pricing

    Offers account for how a machine has been worked — Sierra granite or valley clay — based on the condition you describe.

  • Access Planned In

    From the Sacramento Valley floor to Donner Pass, collection is planned around the access road, grade and distance to your site.

  • Direct Communication

    One call or message starts the process — no marketplace and no middleman.

Four simple steps from first call to final payment. We handle the logistics so you do not have to.

    Review Your Details

    We review the details and photos you send and ask about anything that affects the price. There is no obligation.

  3. 03

    We send a written offer. If it works for you, we agree collection and complete the paperwork.

    We Pick Up & Pay

    We arrange transport and price it into the offer rather than deducting it. Payment is issued by wire transfer or certified check once the equipment is collected and verified.

Serving Northern California's Equipment Owners

Northern California is not one landscape — it is a dozen. From the flat rice fields and orchards of the Yuba County valley floor to the granite ridgelines above Donner Summit, the equipment that works this region takes a beating unlike anywhere else in the state. Contractors here run dozers through volcanic rock in the foothills, push loaders through red clay after winter storms, and haul timber down single-lane forest roads at 5,000 feet. MachineryBarn was built to serve the people who own that iron.

We work with construction contractors clearing pads for new builds in Roseville and Lincoln, timber operators running skidders and feller bunchers in the Tahoe National Forest, agricultural outfits turning soil in the Yuba-Sutter basin, and mining operations processing aggregate in the Auburn and Grass Valley corridor. Whether you are winding down a project, upgrading your fleet, or liquidating a yard full of older machines, we buy excavators, dozers, wheel loaders, motor graders, compactors, semi trucks, dump trucks, flatbed trailers, lowboys, and just about anything else with a serial number and a hydraulic system.

What matters in this region is access. Getting a lowboy up to a job site off Highway 20 past Camptonville takes planning, and a yard in Wheatland is a different trip than a pad in Truckee. Tell us where the machine sits and the offer accounts for moving it. If you have heavy equipment, a semi, or a trailer anywhere in Placer, Nevada, or Yuba County, give us a call.

What We Buy in Our Service Areas

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas do you serve?

We actively buy equipment throughout Placer, Nevada, and Yuba counties — including every city, town, and unincorporated community within those borders. That covers everywhere from Roseville and Lincoln to Grass Valley, Truckee, Marysville, and all points in between.

Do you pick up equipment from remote locations?

Yes. Transport is matched to the site — winch trucks, lowboys, or trailers rated for steep grades and unpaved roads. Tell us whether the machine is on a timber landing above Downieville or a ranch outside Smartsville, and collection is planned around the access.

How fast can you inspect my equipment?

We schedule collection with you once the offer is accepted. Valley and foothill locations are the most straightforward. Remote mountain sites, steep access and single-track approaches take longer to arrange because the transport has to suit the road as well as the machine — tell us about the access when you send the details and it can be planned in rather than discovered on the day.

Do you buy non-running equipment?

Yes — we buy equipment in any condition. Running, non-running, damaged, partially dismantled, or sitting in a field for years. Our offers reflect fair market value adjusted for the machine's current state.

What types of equipment do you buy?

We purchase heavy construction equipment (excavators, dozers, loaders, graders, compactors), semi trucks of all classes, and trailers including flatbeds, lowboys, dumps, and reefers. All makes and models — Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Volvo, Peterbilt, Kenworth, and more.
