When you’re ready to upgrade heavy equipment such as trailers, you might be wondering what to do with your older equipment. Putting up your used trailer for sale, isn’t usually the most effective way to sell heavy equipment. Working with a local dealer that buys this type of equipment is a much smarter choice. According to Mordor Intelligence, the semi-trailer market was valued at over $29.8 million in 2021 and is expected to reach a continued value of $42.8 million by 2027. In this booming market, you want to make sure you’re making the best choices for your used heavy equipment. Here are a few reasons why you should consider selling your used trailer to a dealer.

It’s the Fastest Option

Selling to a dealer is the fastest way to move trailers you no longer need or trailers you need to liquidate for cash fast. If you attempt to sell the trailer yourself, it could be sitting on your property for weeks or months waiting for the right buyer. Dealers are ready with cash on hand to add more trailers to their inventory, so they won’t leave you waiting.

It Saves Your Energy

You have plenty to keep you busy every day, you certainly don’t need to be adding more to your plate. You might think at first that putting a trailer up for sale isn’t that big of a deal, but once you start dealing with potential buyers who want to set up appointments to see the trailer, you’ll see how much of your time really gets sucked into this process. Most of the potential buyers who contact you aren’t that serious or aren’t ready to buy so every time you meet with someone who winds up not buying, you’ve just wasted precious time that could have been used in another way. When you deal directly with a dealer, you won’t have this problem. You’ll have one transaction and you’re done.

It Ensures Less Negotiations

If you don’t want to spend time and energy negotiating with a buyer, a dealer is the way to go. Dealers are upfront about how much they are willing to pay. You’ll know going in exactly how much is being offered and you can decide immediately if that’s the price you want.

These are just a few reasons why you might want to decide to sell your trailer to a dealer. If you have a used trailer for sale and want to speed up this process, please contact us today. Our team of experts at Chicago Trailer Pool is ready to inspect your trailer and offer a fair price.
