More about us

How we handle boom trucks

A few things we stick to.

Crane and truck both count

We value the crane and the truck separately, then add them up. A strong crane on a tired truck, or the other way around, is still worth something, and we explain which parts carry the value. That way you can see how we got to the figure rather than taking one number on faith.

Safe moves

Booms, outriggers and loose attachments are secured before anything moves. A boom truck that won't stow is planned with care rather than forced, and we check heights and weights for the route. If a truck can't be moved safely on the day, we stop and come back with a better plan.

Straight answers

If your truck is worth more on the used market, through a dealer or at an auction, we'll tell you. Some trucks are better sold another way, and saying so costs us nothing. When we're the right fit, it's usually because the truck doesn't run, needs work or you want it gone without the hassle of listing it.

Responsible recycling

Trucks that can't go back to work are taken apart properly. Fluids are drained, usable parts are pulled for reuse, wire rope, batteries and tires go to their own recyclers, and the steel goes to be melted and reused. Nothing is dumped. You don't have to do any of it before pickup.

Paperwork explained

We walk you through the transfer, the plates, the insurance and any lien, so you know what to bring on pickup day. If something is unusual, like a dissolved company or a truck in an estate, we explain what's usually needed and point you to the right office.

Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley

We work across the Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley, from Vancouver and the North Shore out to Chilliwack. Most pickups are from yards, farms, job sites and driveways in that area. If your truck sits outside it, call anyway and we'll tell you honestly whether we can help.

Questions

Common questions

Which towns do you cover?

Greater Vancouver, the North Shore, the Tri-Cities, Surrey, Delta, Langley, Maple Ridge, Mission, Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Nothing outside BC.

Can I buy a truck from you?

No. Our side of the business is buying. Trucks we take go to rebuilders, parts yards or the recycler.

Do you only buy boom trucks?

Boom trucks and the trucks that carry cranes are our focus: knuckle booms, stiff booms, bucket trucks, service trucks and grapple trucks.

How do you decide on an offer?

We look at the crane and the truck separately, then put them together. Condition, capacity, hours, records and access all count.

Do you buy from private owners as well as companies?

Yes. Owner-operators, small contractors, farms and large fleets all sell to us. The paperwork is a little different for each, and we walk you through it.

How do I reach you?

Call or use the quote form on any page. We call back with a figure, usually the same day during business hours.
