Federal and state agencies sell heavy equipment when fleets are rotated or projects wrap up. The Department of Transportation is the largest single source – every state DOT maintains road graders, loaders, and dump trucks that cycle out on fixed schedules. Military surplus through DLA Disposition Services and GovPlanet adds bulldozers, forklifts, and generators, often with low hours relative to private-sector equivalents. Municipal public works departments round out the supply with backhoes, skid steers, and utility tractors sold through GovDeals and PublicSurplus.
Condition varies widely. DOT equipment is typically well-maintained with documented service records but high hours. Military surplus may have low hours but deferred cosmetic maintenance. Most platforms use condition codes (Excellent, Good, Fair, Salvage) – always check the listing photos and description before bidding.
Most platforms charge a buyer's premium of 10-15% on top of the winning bid. GovDeals typically charges 12.5%, GSA Auctions charges 0%, and GovPlanet charges 10%. Factor the premium into your maximum bid.
Yes. Nearly all government surplus auctions allow in-person inspection during scheduled preview periods. For large equipment purchases, inspection is strongly recommended – photos alone won't reveal hydraulic leaks, frame cracks, or worn undercarriage components.
