Start with the Current Catalog
Browse Horn Auctioneers' current events for available equipment and sale dates. Categories may include excavators, dozers, loaders, graders, trucks and trailers. Availability changes by event; this page does not confirm that a particular machine is for sale.
Compare the Machine to the Work
Record the exact model, configuration, displayed hours, included attachments and known defects. Compare manufacturer specifications with the job you need to perform. Ask what was inspected and which functions remain untested. Photos help identify questions but do not replace an inspection.
Compare the Whole Purchase
There is no fixed auction discount relative to dealer prices. Condition, configuration, inspection opportunities and sale terms can differ. Review the applicable buyer premium, other charges, payment deadline and removal requirements before deciding what to bid. Use the event terms and invoice instructions for the actual sale.
Plan Inspection and Removal
Confirm the equipment location, inspection arrangements, loading access and removal deadline. Ask whether the machine moves under its own power and whether loading assistance is available. Give your carrier the actual configuration and verified transport dimensions and weight.
