The crane side
Crane inspection records and the operator manual help a buyer, so pass them along if you have them. Missing paperwork doesn't stop a sale to us. On-road trucks fall outside Metro Vancouver's non-road diesel engine bylaw.

Questions
Common questions
Does BC have a title for trucks?
No. In BC the registration, signed by every registered owner, plus the Transfer/Tax Form is what transfers ownership.
How do I check for a lien?
Search BC's Personal Property Registry by VIN or owner's name, or ask a lawyer, notary or search company to do it.
Do I keep my plates?
Plates belong to ICBC. You can keep them for another vehicle or hand them in at an Autoplan broker.
