Machinery & Equipment Appraisals
Tractors and implements, imaging and medical equipment, excavators and skid steers, machine shop and fabrication assets. Valued for lending, sale, liquidation, insurance, litigation, and IRS purposes.
Equipment assignments supported by strong documentation — data plates, service records, photographs — can be completed as desk appraisals anywhere in the world. Where physical inspection materially affects the conclusion, on-site work is performed throughout Arizona.
Machinery and equipment valuation sits within the personal property discipline — the same standards and value premises apply. See all personal property services →

What is the appraisal for?
Intended use sets the value standard, the report format, and the fee. The scope changes more than most people expect.

| Full facility inventory | $3,500 – $5,000+ |
Common questions
Which value standard will you use?
It depends entirely on intended use. Fair market value, orderly liquidation value, forced liquidation value, and fair value in continued use produce very different numbers from the same asset. Selecting the wrong one is the single most common defect we see in equipment appraisals prepared elsewhere.
Can this be done without an on-site visit?
Often, yes. Where documentation is strong — data plates, service records, clear photographs — equipment can be appraised as a desk assignment anywhere in the world. Where condition or installation materially drives value, on-site inspection is performed throughout Arizona.
Can you appraise an entire facility?
Yes. Full inventories are quoted per assignment rather than per unit, and prior experience includes manufacturing plants, medical facilities, and municipal fleets.
Do you have specific equipment experience?
Yes — including machinery and equipment valuation work with B. Riley Advisory Services, and hands-on inventory and valuation of medical imaging, farm, and construction assets.
