Worth knowing
Plated trailers
If the trailer is registered with ICBC, the sale works like a vehicle: registration signed, Transfer/Tax Form after payment, and the plates come off for you to keep or return to ICBC. The full paperwork list.
Towable sets in depth
Selling a towable or trailer-mounted generator
Towable generators are common on job sites, events and farms.
Registration
Trailer-mounted generators may be registered with ICBC. If so, the registration transfers and you keep the plate.
Hours
Rental and job site units often have high hours. Tell us the hours and whether it was serviced.
Enclosure
Sound-attenuated enclosures add value if the panels and doors are intact.
Light towers and combos
Generator and light tower combos are bought too. Tell us if the mast and lamps work.
Several units
Rental fleets retiring several units can have them quoted together.
Questions
Common questions
Can you tow it if the tires are flat?
Yes. We bring a deck instead of towing it on its own wheels.
Do you buy light towers?
Yes. Light towers with a diesel generator on board are bought the same way.
Do you buy welder generators?
Yes. Engine-driven welders are welcome on their own or with other units.
