Proxy Equipment added 20 new active listings this week, spanning earth-moving, hauling, and specialty categories. Buyers will find expanded selection in dump trucks and wheel loaders, plus a high-value directional drill that commands attention at $341,136.

Market Snapshot

This week's inventory covers a price range from $17,900 to $341,136, with significant depth in workhorse categories. Dump trucks lead volume with 5 new units, while wheel loaders follow at 4. The average price across all new listings sits at approximately $110,000, though individual categories vary widely based on age, hours, and specification.

For fleet managers evaluating capital deployment, this week's mix offers both production-ready iron and lower-hour utility machines suitable for expanding secondary fleets.

Category Breakdown

Dump Trucks — 5 New Listings, Avg. Price $126,640

The strongest category by volume this week. These units represent tri-axle and heavy-haul configurations suitable for aggregate, demolition, and earthwork applications. At $126,640 average, buyers should compare spec sheets closely—hydraulic vs. air suspension, steel vs. aluminum beds, and engine ratings drive significant value differences in this segment.

Wheel Loaders — 4 New Listings, Avg. Price $125,475

Second-highest volume with solid representation across size classes. The standout: a 2021 Volvo L120H at $179,000 with 3,581 hours. This falls below the category average due to smaller utility loaders balancing the mix. For production loading operations, the Volvo offers FLV (fair market value) positioning with mid-range hours.

Crawler Excavators — 2 New Listings, Avg. Price $94,900

Limited but relevant supply for pipeline, basement, and mass excavation contractors. Crawler units at this price point typically require undercarriage inspection priority—track wear, roller condition, and sprocket life determine true ownership cost beyond sticker price.

Browse Crawler Excavators

Mini Excavators — 2 New Listings, Avg. Price $38,900

Utility-focused machines ideal for tight-access work. The 2019 Caterpillar 300.9D at $17,900 with 795 hours represents the lowest-hour, lowest-price combination this week—exceptional value for rental fleets or specialized contractors.

Semi Trucks — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $64,900

Single unit available; power unit pricing remains volatile given EPA compliance timelines and engine generation transitions. Verify emission certification and DEF system status before evaluating this segment.

Browse Semi Trucks

Specialty Trailers — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $44,900

Specialized hauling equipment for oversized or permitted loads. Trailer selection this week is limited—buyers with immediate needs should monitor closely or expand search parameters.

Browse Specialty Trailers

Vacuum Trucks — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $39,900

Utility unit for hydro-excavation, septic, or industrial cleaning applications. Tank material (aluminum vs. steel), pump specification, and PTO configuration drive suitability for intended work.

Browse Vacuum Trucks

Hauler Trucks — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $32,000

Single unit at entry-level pricing for material transport. Useful for smaller operations or as a backup fleet addition.

Browse Hauler Trucks

Cab & Chassis Trucks — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $21,900

Bare chassis configuration allows upfit customization—utility bodies, cranes, or specialized equipment mounting. Lowest average price category this week, reflecting incomplete configuration.

Drills — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $341,136

The week's highest-value addition: a 2020 Vermeer Navigator D40X55 Series III directional drill. At 1,663 hours, this unit shows controlled use for its age and represents significant capital equipment for utility installation contractors. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) demand remains strong in fiber and pipeline markets.

Browse Drills

Aggregate Equipment — 1 New Listing, Avg. Price $99,500

Single unit for crushing, screening, or material processing operations. Seasonal demand for this category typically peaks in Q1-Q2 as quarries and recyclers prepare for construction season.

Notable Additions: Highest Value & Freshest Iron

2020 Vermeer Navigator D40X55 Series III — $341,136.30

Hours: 1,663 | Condition: 3

The week's headline unit. This directional drill carries premium pricing justified by Vermeer's market position in HDD technology and relatively low hours for a 2020 production unit. Contractors in underground utility markets should evaluate pullback force, spindle torque, and rod loader configuration against job requirements.

2021 Volvo L120H — $179,000.00

Hours: 3,581 | Condition: 2

Mid-size wheel loader with Volvo's H-series cab and load-sensing hydraulics. At 3,581 hours, this machine sits in the sweet spot for second-owner acquisition—past initial depreciation, proven operational history, with significant productive life remaining. Compare bucket and fork availability with seller.

2024 Kenworth T880 Tri Axle — $169,900.00

Hours: N/A | Condition: 2

Current-model-year heavy hauler with tri-axle configuration for maximum GCWR. Three identical 2024 T880 units appear in top pricing, suggesting fleet refresh or lease return activity. PACCAR MX-13 power and Eaton automated transmissions likely; confirm spec with seller.

2024 Kenworth T880 — $169,900.00

Hours: N/A | Condition: 2

Sister unit to the tri-axle above—verify axle count and suspension rating for intended application.

2024 Kenworth T880 — $169,900.00

Hours: N/A | Condition: Good

Third T880 in this week's top tier. Condition rating of "Good" vs. "2" may indicate different inspection standards or source—request maintenance documentation for all three units.

2019 Caterpillar 300.9D — $17,900.00

Hours: 795 | Condition: Good

The week's lowest-hour and lowest-price combination. This sub-1-ton mini excavator suits landscape, utility, and interior demolition work. At 795 hours, undercarriage and hydraulic system wear should be minimal—an ideal rental fleet addition or specialty contractor acquisition.

2022 Caterpillar 305CR — $59,900.00

Hours: 1,451 | Condition: Good

Compact radius design for confined job sites. CR (compact radius) configuration reduces tail swing, improving productivity in urban and developed environments. Low hours and recent model year support strong residual value.

Buying Advice: Where the Selection Is

Best selection for immediate purchase: Dump trucks (5 units) and wheel loaders (4 units) offer the most comparison opportunity. Buyers can evaluate multiple age, hour, and price combinations without expanding search geography.

Best value for low-hour acquisition: Mini excavators present exceptional metrics this week. The Cat 300.9D at $17,900/795 hours and 305CR at $59,900/1,451 hours both outperform typical market FLV benchmarks for hours-to-price ratios.

Specialty opportunity: The Vermeer Navigator D40X55 Series III represents rare HDD inventory. Directional drills at this specification level seldom reach open marketplace listings—utility contractors should move quickly.

Caution areas: Semi trucks, specialty trailers, vacuum trucks, hauler trucks, cab & chassis, aggregate equipment, and drills each show single-unit availability. Limited selection reduces negotiation leverage and comparison basis. Buyers in these categories should set alerts or expand to adjacent markets.
