Services

Four ways we move iron.

We work both sides of the trade. If you need a specific machine, we source it. If you have iron to move, we find the buyer and run the sale. Either way, you get an operator's eye on every machine.

01
Find Equipment
Tell us what you need — year, make, model, hours, condition, budget — and we work our network of operators, owners, and yards across Southern California to find the right machine. Most of our best inventory never hits a listing.
02
Sell Equipment
Send us your machine and we represent it to the right buyers in our network. We handle photos, specs, pricing, fielding inquiries, and the close. You stay on the job site; we handle the calls.
03
Consignment
List your iron with DB and let us run the sale. We handle marketing, buyer screening, negotiation, and delivery coordination. Keep working the machine until it sells — you only pay when it moves.
04
Appraisals
Written equipment valuations for sales, insurance, estates, and asset reviews. Informed by current market activity and the operator's read on actual condition — not just auction comps.
About

Built by an operator.

Most equipment brokers have spent their careers behind a desk. DB started on the job site.

Co-Founder Travis Beigle

Travis Beigle

Co-Founder · Equipment Principal

Travis is Chief Operating Officer and licensed RMO (CA Lic #A1124658) at Reed Thomas Associates, LLC — one of Southern California's most respected grading and engineering contractors since 1981 — and a Partner at RT Equipment Rentals.

For nearly a decade, he's run equipment sales and rentals for both companies, moving heavy iron every day across the LA basin, Orange County, and the Inland Empire. Travis reads a machine the way an operator does — what's been worked, what's been maintained, what's about to need a rebuild — and he knows the operators, contractors, and equipment owners who actually move iron in SoCal.

How We Work

How we work.

/ 01

You see what we see.

Every machine gets a hands-on inspection before it changes hands. Hours, leaks, undercarriage, fluids, attachments — documented and shared. The condition you read is the condition you get.

/ 02

Built on relationships, not listings.

Most of our best deals never hit MachineryTrader. They come from operators we've worked with for years and owners who trust us to find the right home for their iron. Search engines won't show you what our network will.

/ 03

We stand behind the iron.

If there's something we should have caught, we'll make it right. That's the standard you should expect from anyone selling you a serious piece of equipment.
