Receive a heavy machine valuation within 24 hours
Here you can order an expert valuation for heavy machinery such as excavator, wheel loader, bulldozer or motor-grader. For a fee of 60 Euro (70$) only you will receive within 24 hours (during workdays) a Machinery Appraisal Document. The valuation is done by one of our experts in person. No automated calculation, it is done by an assessor!

How does the online valuation work?
- Fill our form to send us the necessary machine information
- Pay our valuation fee (60€) by Credit Card, Apple Pay or PayPal
- Receive a valuation on MEVAS letterhead within one work day (sample)
How do we determine the residual value of a machine?
We use various tools for a heavy equipment valuation. The appraiser selects from tools such as arithmetic calculation, depeciation, auction sales results, LECTURA valuation and market research. MEVAS can look back to 18 years in used machinery inspection and valuation.
For which case the online valuation of heavy equipment is sufficient?
The online valuation for heavy equipment is useful for smaller projects with individual machines and when it is just a matter of getting more certainty in estimating the residual value.
Online-valuation versus on-site valuation
In most cases, an online valuation for heavy equipment is not sufficient for a legally secure evaluation of a construction machine. The tax office or the audit office will not agree with an online assessment. The real state and situation of the market for used construction machinery is not taken into account in an online evaluation. In such a case, it makes sense to document the condition of the machine. Through this documentation and after assessing the current market situation, an appraiser can reliably determine the residual value of the machine. If you require such a valuation including inspection on site, please contact us. We do it for a fair price. It doesn’t matter whether you want to have a single machine rated or a large number.
How much does a heavy machinery evaluation cost?
As described above, we carry out a valuation for a single machine for as little as € 60. In return, you will receive a document on MEVAS letterhead describing the residual value of the machine and the reasons for the valuation.
What about larger valuation projects?
We are able to carry out much more complex projects. MEVAS has references for larger projects where companies and organizations have used us to value a large number of assets. To date, no client has ever complained about an asset valuation by MEVAS. We have already valued machinery in quarries, gold mines and construction companies. One example: After the construction work for the World Cup in Qatar, we inspected and valued 180 construction machines, cranes and construction vehicles there.
We evaluate residual values for:
- Excavators, Wheel Loaders, Loader Backhoe
- Bulldozer, Tracked Loaders, Crawler Loaders
- Rigid and articulated dump trucks
- Forklift trucks and reach stackers
- Telescopic loaders, Lifting Equipment
- Paver asphalt, compaction rollers, motor graders

Is it sufficient to use an online heavy machinery evaluation for M&A
While online heavy machinery evaluations can provide valuable insights, relying solely on them for M&A (mergers and acquisitions) due diligence may not be sufficient. Here are a few reasons why:
- Accuracy: Online evaluations might not provide the accuracy needed for assessing heavy machinery. Factors like wear and tear, maintenance history, and actual condition may not be adequately captured through online evaluations alone.
- Complexity: Heavy machinery often has intricate mechanical, electrical, and hydraulic systems that require thorough inspection by experts. An online evaluation may not delve deep enough into these complexities to provide a comprehensive understanding.
- Risk Management: M&A transactions involve significant financial investments. Relying solely on online evaluations could increase the risk of overlooking critical issues that could affect the value or performance of the machinery post-acquisition.
- Regulatory Compliance: Heavy machinery may be subject to specific regulations and safety standards. These regulations may vary by location and industry. An online evaluation might not cover compliance aspects adequately.
- Market Dynamics: Market conditions, demand, and technological advancements can impact the value and competitiveness of heavy machinery. Online evaluations may not incorporate current market dynamics effectively.
For M&A transactions involving heavy machinery, it’s advisable to complement online evaluations with thorough on-site inspections by experienced engineers or third-party inspection services. These inspections can provide a more accurate assessment of the machinery’s condition, identify potential risks, and help in negotiating a fair deal. Additionally, consulting legal and regulatory experts to ensure compliance with relevant laws and standards is crucial.
