Frequently Asked Questions
How does a heavy equipment parts hotline work?
You join a shared voice conference line with other equipment dealers and salvage operations. When you need a part — a hydraulic cylinder for a CAT 320, a transmission for a Deere 650K — you key up and describe it. Every dealer on the line hears your request simultaneously and responds live if they have it. Average response time on our auto parts network: 2 seconds.
What types of heavy equipment parts can I find?
Engines, transmissions, hydraulic pumps and cylinders, final drives, undercarriage components, cab parts, electrical systems, and more. Common makes: Caterpillar, John Deere, Komatsu, Volvo, Case, Hitachi, Liebherr, and Bobcat. The network handles everything from a $200 solenoid to a $50,000 engine core.
How is this different from searching MachineryTrader or IronPlanet?
Online listings show what was available when someone posted them — inventory changes daily. A live voice network asks real dealers who can verify the part right now. One broadcast reaches every dealer on the line simultaneously, replacing hours of phone calls. And you can describe what you need in plain language, not search filters.
How much does equipment downtime really cost?
Industry estimates put heavy equipment downtime at $1,000 to $5,000 per hour depending on the machine and project. A crawler excavator sitting idle on a highway project can cost the contractor $2,000-$3,000/hour in lost productivity and potential liquidated damages. Finding the part in 2 seconds vs. 2 days changes the math entirely.
Is this available for heavy equipment now?
We're building the heavy equipment network now. The technology is proven — 500+ salvage yards and 15,000+ part requests in our auto parts network. We're actively onboarding heavy equipment dealers, salvage yards, and rebuilders. Join the waitlist to get early access and help shape the network for your region.
What does it cost?
Flat monthly membership, same model as our auto parts network. No per-search fees, no commissions on sales, no listing fees. A preconfigured desk phone is included with membership. Find one part faster and the membership pays for itself — at heavy equipment part values, that happens on day one.
Can I sell parts on the hotline too?
Yes. You hear every request on the line. When someone asks for a part you have — a final drive for a D6, a bucket for a 330 — you key up and respond. The buyer contacts you directly. No middleman, no commission. You sell parts you haven't listed and catch demand you'd never find through traditional channels.
Who else is on the network?
Equipment dealers, salvage and dismantling operations, rebuild shops, rental companies with aging fleets, and independent mechanics who source parts for customers. Anyone who buys or sells used heavy equipment components. The network gets more valuable as more participants join — more ears means faster answers.
