We package details with clear photos and a concise condition summary so buyers know exactly what they’re getting.
Because we market nationwide across fabrication buyers, your brake is seen by the right shops fast. You choose how we sell it: consignment on your floor, an exclusive listing, or a timed equipment auction through our network.

Sell Your Press Brake
How It Works
The following information is required to initiate the selling process. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions regarding the requirements below.
Initial Assessment
We must make an initial assessment of the machine. We need the following information to be able to give you the best quote to sell your hydraulic press brakes at:
- Make
- Model
- Year
- Serial Number
- Is it Hydraulic or Mechanical?
- Max Length
- Tonnage
Depending on the type of used press brake equipment you’re selling, we may require additional details, including tooling, the number of machine axes (if CNC), and other relevant information.
Contact us for the exact requirements of the used press brake equipment we’ll sell together.
Condition Photographs
We will need photographs taken of the machine. We may request specific angles or components to show customers exactly what they are potentially purchasing. There are certain components of machines that are prone to wear, so these should be included when selling your hydraulic press brakes. Taking high-quality photographs initially will be very helpful in advancing the process. Visit our Help Center to learn more about the used press brake machine photo guidelines.
Floor Requirements
Please let us know your timing and constraints upfront so we can accommodate them effectively. Can the brake remain powered for test bends, or does it need to be disconnected now? Confirm rigging access, door height, dock availability, and aisle clearance for a forklift or Versa-Lift. Note any oil containment needs and floor load limits.
If you need it gone quickly, we can arrange short-term storage or align pickup with your downtime. Would you prefer to keep it in place until we sell your hydraulic press brakes? We’ll schedule inspections around your shift and maintain lockout/tagout procedures so safety and production come first.

FAQ
What information most affects pricing on a used hydraulic press brake?
The more specific, the better. We typically ask for:
- Tonnage, bed length, stroke, and open height
- CNC axes, crowning type, backgauge model, control brand
- Year, hours, maintenance history, available tooling
Include any accuracy data or recent upgrades. That transparency reduces back-and-forth and helps serious buyers move quickly.
Can you list press brake equipment for sale that is still in daily use?
Yes. Many sellers keep production going while we work to market and sell your hydraulic press brakes. We set brief inspection windows, request short video demos, and line up rigging so removal coincides with your changeover. Buyers appreciate seeing the machine in operation; this avoids downtime until the deal is complete.
What photos and documents speed the sale and prevent re-negotiations?
Provide:
- Full machine shots, ram and bed close-ups, cylinders, backgauge fingers
- Control screens, error logs, if any, pump and manifold areas
- Tooling included, nameplate, and recent service records
Clear visuals build confidence and minimize surprises during inspections.
How fast do transactions typically close once listed?
Spec, condition, and market demand mean the timeline to sell your hydraulic press brakes can vary. Clean, late-model CNC brakes with documentation often move in weeks. Older or niche configurations can take longer. We keep you updated on activity, adjust our pricing strategy if needed, and move the process forward until it’s off your floor.
