Purple Wave auctions feature a wide range of trusted brands, including Caterpillar, Volvo, John Deere, Komatsu, Bell, and Terex. Our inventory includes both newer models and well-maintained used equipment to suit various needs and budgets.

Articulated haul trucks come in various sizes and capacities. Our inventory includes trucks with capacities ranging from about 25 tons (like the Volvo A25G) up to 40 tons or more (such as the Caterpillar 740 series). The exact capacity depends on the specific model and manufacturer.

Consider factors such as the required payload capacity, terrain conditions, fuel efficiency, and compatibility with your existing fleet. Review the specifications of each truck, including engine power, transmission type, and features like retarders or onboard scales. It's also important to consider the truck's age and hour meter reading.

When considering a used articulated haul truck, pay attention to the hour meter reading, maintenance history, and overall condition. Check for any warning indicators on the dash, assess the tire condition, and review any available repair records. Purple Wave provides detailed information and often includes recent repair documentation for each listing.

Articulated haul trucks are widely used in construction, mining, quarrying, and large-scale earthmoving operations. They're particularly valuable in projects that involve moving large volumes of material over uneven terrain or in areas where maneuverability is crucial.

Due to their size and weight, articulated haul trucks often require special transportation arrangements. Purple Wave can assist with shipping estimates through Purple Wave Shipping, LLC. Be sure to check local regulations regarding oversized loads and obtain any necessary permits for transportation.

Regular maintenance is crucial for articulated haul trucks and typically includes oil and filter changes, tire rotations and replacements, brake system checks, and inspections of the hydraulic and electrical systems. Many modern trucks come with onboard diagnostic systems to help monitor maintenance needs.
