Why Northern California Contractors Choose MachineryBarn

Same-Day Appraisals
Request a quote in the morning and have one of our buyers on-site by afternoon. We move fast because we know your time is money.
Fair Market Pricing

Mountain-Access Transport
Our fleet includes winch trucks and lowboys built for NorCal terrain. We pick up from steep ranch roads, timber landings, and remote job sites.
Local Inspections You Can Trust
Our inspectors live and work in the region. They understand the wear patterns from Sierra granite and valley clay — and price accordingly.
NorCal Terrain Knowledge
From the Sacramento Valley floor to Donner Pass, we know every access road, weigh station, and county yard in our service area.

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 sets us apart is simple: we are here. Our buyers drive the same highways and back roads you do. We know that getting a lowboy up to a job site off Highway 20 past Camptonville takes planning, and that a yard in Wheatland is a different trip than a pad in Truckee. That local knowledge means faster inspections, more accurate offers, and equipment pickup that actually happens on the day we say it will. If you have heavy equipment, a semi, or a trailer anywhere in Placer, Nevada, or Yuba County, give us a call. We will come to you.
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?
Absolutely. Our transport fleet includes winch trucks, lowboys, and trailers rated for steep grades and unpaved roads. Whether your machine is on a timber landing above Downieville or a ranch outside Smartsville, we can get to it.
How fast can you inspect my equipment?
For locations within the valley and foothill areas, we can typically schedule a same-day or next-day inspection. For remote mountain sites or areas with limited access, allow up to 48 hours so we can dispatch the right crew and transport.
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.
