To determine the right size excavator, consider factors such as the typical job sites you work on, the depth and reach required for your projects, and any transportation limitations. Mini excavators are great for urban or confined spaces, while larger models are suitable for heavy-duty earthmoving. Assess your typical workload and choose an excavator that balances power with maneuverability for your specific needs.

When available, look for comprehensive maintenance records that include regular service intervals, oil changes, hydraulic system maintenance, and any major repairs or parts replacements. These records can give you insight into how well the excavator has been cared for and help you anticipate any upcoming maintenance needs. Purple Wave strives to provide this information when available from the seller.

While specific regulations can vary, Missouri has general guidelines for operating heavy equipment like excavators. These may include obtaining proper licenses or certifications, adhering to local noise ordinances, and following safety protocols. It's important to check with local authorities and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources for any specific requirements or restrictions in your area of operation.

Purple Wave uses a timed, online auction format for excavators. You can place bids anytime during the auction period, which typically lasts several days. Bids are placed online, and the highest bid at the close of the auction wins. There's no physical auction to attend, making it convenient for buyers across Missouri and beyond. Remember, all sales are final, so review all information carefully before bidding.

• Carefully review the detailed specifications and photos provided in the listings to evaluate the condition and suitability of excavators for your specific needs.
