Tracked dumpers and crawler carriers
Rubber track carriers are everywhere on wet BC job sites. When one wears out or gets replaced, we'll take it.

| Rotating bed carriers | Upper structure turns, so the bed dumps to the side. |
| Special bodies | Flat decks, water tanks, drill carriers and cranes on carriers. |
Tell us about the bed
Is the dump bed working, stuck up, or stuck down? A raised bed has to be lowered or secured before hauling, and a seized hoist changes how we load it.

What matters when selling a tracked carrier
Tracked carriers are simple machines, and buyers look at a few things first.
Track condition
Rubber tracks on carriers are big and expensive. Cracks, missing lugs and exposed cords lower the value. Tell us whether the tracks are original and roughly how much tread is left.
The dump bed
Bed floor wear, hinge cracks and the hoist cylinders. A rotating bed adds a swing system to check. Tell us whether the bed lifts and holds, and whether it rotates.
Engine and drive
Hydrostatic drive is common on carriers. Tell us if it travels evenly both ways. A carrier that creeps or travels unevenly usually has a drive motor or pump problem.
Special-purpose carriers
Carriers fitted with drills, cranes or tanks are bought too. Tell us what's mounted. The mounted equipment is valued along with the carrier.
Hauling
Carriers are tall when loaded on a deck. Height matters for routes with low bridges. Tell us the overall height if you know it.
Diesel rules
In Metro Vancouver, carriers with diesel engines of 25 hp or more fall under Bylaw 1329. Farm-only machines are exempt.
Who uses them
Rubber track carriers are popular with site contractors, pipeline crews and anyone moving material over soft ground. Mini dumpers are common with landscapers and small builders working in tight backyards.
Common problems
Worn rubber tracks, failing drive motors, leaking dump cylinders and tired engines are the usual reasons carriers get retired. Rotating carriers can also develop swing problems.
Photos that help
Each side at track level, the bed raised if it can be, the engine bay and the hour meter. If the carrier has a special body, show that too.
After pickup
Good tracks, motors and engines are resold. The bed and frame are recycled as steel. Fluids are drained first, and batteries go to a battery recycler.
Rental and contractor fleets
Rental companies and contractors retire carriers when hours get high or tracks get expensive. We can price several units together and collect them from one yard or a few.
Mini dumpers
Small tracked dumpers used for landscaping and building work are bought too, running or not. Tell us the make, the bed type and whether it tracks both ways.
Carriers with a crane or drill
A carrier with a crane, drill or tank on it is valued for both the carrier and what's mounted. Tell us the make and model of each, and whether the mounted gear works.
Straight answers
Questions we get
Do you buy mini tracked dumpers?
Yes, especially along with other machines.
Do you buy carriers with a dead engine?
Yes. We winch them on.
Do you take carriers with a drill or crane on them?
Yes. Tell us what's mounted.
Do you buy rotating bed carriers?
Yes. Tell us whether the bed rotates and lifts.
Do you buy carriers with torn tracks?
Yes. Torn rubber tracks lower the figure but don't stop a sale.
Can you haul a tall carrier?
Yes. We check the route for low bridges before the day.
Do you buy carriers from rental yards?
Yes. Rental fleet carriers with high hours and worn tracks are bought running or not, and we can collect several at once.
Do you need the carrier's hours?
It helps. A photo of the hour meter tells us how hard the machine worked, but a carrier with a dead meter is still bought.
Carrier parked for good?
Send the make and track condition. We'll call back with a figure.
