Validate the year of manufacture to ensure a reliable value. Avoid paying too much for used construction equipment or not asking enough when selling your current equipment. An error of just one model year (2005 vs. 2006, for example) can change the price by thousands of dollars.
The Serial Number Guide is the leading source for year-of-manufacture data on all major and hard-to-find construction equipment. This means you get over 50 years of serial number information from more than representing over 100 equipment types in construction, forestry, paving, material handling and aggregate industries – FAST! The guide also includes over 15,000 models with shipping dimensions. The Serial Number Guide is available in three formats. Also, an extraordinary effort has been made to verify, categorize and interpret serial number data from several million records of UCC filings. The use of this exclusive source of information makes this Serial Number Guide the most comprehensive resource available. The format of the Serial Number Guide follows the standard practice of listing serial numbers either by a machine’s make and model (and in some cases, Caterpillar being one, by serial number prefix) or by its manufacturer only when one set of numbers covers all categories and all models in a product line.
