IronPlanet is proud to present our first-ever sale of U.S. Marine Corps surplus heavy construction equipment! Next week, on September 22, you'll have what our analysts are calling a "once-in-a-lifetime" opportunity to buy from this package of low-hour equipment in pristine condition, including Cat D7G crawler tractors with the legendary Cat 3306 engine, Cat 130G motor graders, and more-- many with under 1,000 hours clocked.
"This group of machinery is unlike anything I have seen in my 28 years in the equipment business," Paul Hendrix, Equipment Pricing Analyst at IronPlanet, says. "I had the good fortune of being able to go to Barstow, California. in June to inspect this gear personally and much of this equipment is as pristine as the day it rolled off the assembly line. I saw Cat D7G’s that are literally time capsules from the mid-1980’s, no electronics, just bares bones cable and linkage controls, Cat 3306 engines; arguably one of the best diesel engines ever produced."
"It’s not every day that someone has the opportunity to buy a piece of history," Hendrix continues. "An unused 31-year-old Caterpillar dozer, an unused 28-year-old Caterpillar motor grader, an unused 27-year old-Case dozer…..and more."
All equipment in this unique package is now available for preview and advance bidding! Unlike Humvees or other restricted equipment under our contract with the DLA, this equipment does not have end-user certification requirements. It's a fantastic opportunity to buy high-quality, well-maintained machinery from the U.S. Marine Corps at excellent prices.
