Lifting equipment · Seller’s guide
Define the lift, the structure and the sale package
Record rated capacity, duty classification where available, lift height and the dimensions relevant to the equipment: bridge span, jib reach, runway length or platform travel. Identify hoist and trolley models, speeds, controls and electrical supply. Include available inspection records, drawings and service history without treating them as approval for a new installation. Photograph structural wear, wheels, rails and accessible lifting components. State whether runway beams, conductors, festooning, stops or rigging are included, and describe access for dismantling and loading.

Preparing for market
What shapes the sale?
The equipment’s technical fit, condition and practical requirements all influence a buyer’s decision.
Rated duty and geometry
Capacity, lift height, span and reach determine whether the equipment can fit a proposed handling task.
Hoist and control condition
Motors, brakes, chains or ropes, trolley travel and control configuration influence assessment of the working equipment.
Available records
Serial plates, inspection history, drawings and maintenance records help buyers understand the asset and its prior use.
Structure and removal
Included runway components, installation interfaces and access for lifting affect the scope and cost of relocation.
Make and model matter.
Include the manufacturer and exact model in your inquiry. Examples in this equipment category include:

Before you sell
Your questions.
Clear answers.
Have a question about your equipment or the selling process? Let’s talk through it.
Call (647) 490-0455Which dimensions should I provide for lifting equipment?
Use the dimensions relevant to the asset: bridge span and hook height for a crane, reach for a jib, or platform size and travel for a lift table. Include capacity, controls and electrical supply so buyers can assess the complete configuration.
Does inspection history need to accompany the listing?
Share the inspection and maintenance records you have, and state any gaps. Records give buyers context about prior condition and service, but they do not establish suitability for a different installation. Avoid describing equipment as currently certified unless that statement is supported by applicable documentation.
Can I sell a hoist without the runway or structure?
Yes. Clearly define the package as the hoist, trolley, controls and any other included components. Record capacity, speed, lift and mounting details. If the runway, conductors or support structure are excluded, make that explicit so buyers can assess their own installation needs.
What information helps plan removal of fixed lifting equipment?
Provide installation photographs, available drawings, equipment dimensions and known component weights. Explain building access, operating restrictions and the scope of included structure. These details help establish dismantling and loading requirements before the equipment is disconnected or a collection arrangement is finalized.
