Equipment valuation for earthmovers and mining machinery

On request, we can provide references on larger construction / mining machinery assessment projects that we have successfully completed. We can even send four or five inspectors at the same time.
On-screen valuation
In some cases an on-screen-valuation may be enough to determine the residual value of a construction machine. We can provide such evaluation for a small fee. No subscription required. Valuations are done by humans and not only consulting a database. Read more on our page about online valuation for heavy machinery.
Can Mevas sell you used machines?
If you are looking for used machinery, we cannot help you as we do not deal in machinery. However, you can take a look at www.used-equipment.de to start your search. We have set up this site as a support for those who want to buy machines. Rest assured that you will not be scammed! Read more about the safe way to purchase used equipment.
Mining equipment appraisal
If you are facing a change in contractor for your quarry or open pit mine, you may find that a valuation of your assets is necessary. In such cases, it is important to have a team of experienced professionals who can accurately and fairly assess the value of your equipment and machinery in a way that is negotiable and effective.
At our company, we have the expertise and experience to help you through this process. Our team of skilled professionals has a proven track record of successfully completing larger mining and construction fleet appraisal projects, ensuring that our clients receive a thorough and reliable assessment of their assets.

Fleet Valuations
