INSPECTION AND APPRAISAL SERVICES

USED HEAVY EQUIPMENT

Mountain Side Equipment offers fully independent inspections of all  forestry and construction equipment.

Whether you’re buying a piece of machinery through us or another party we offer full inspections for most pieces of equipment. We offer basic packages all the way up to oil analysis.  We know it’s tough to buy a piece of equipment online without having an opportunity to see the machine in person.

When you use our inspection services we take multiple relevant photos and visually inspect and test all the main systems. After the inspection is completed we will give you a detailed report of all the tested systems on the machine so you can make a decision. We will also contact you to discuss the results and answer any questions you might have. We can also provide a fair market value evaluation upon request.

Sometimes financing can be dependent on a qualified appraisal of the machine. We can provide a detailed appraisal that you can take to the bank to obtain financing.
