Excavator Removal in Whistler and Pemberton
Whether it's a mini excavator that dug its last foundation or a full-size track machine parked since the last big job, we buy excavators across the Sea to Sky and haul them out.
- Running, tired or seized
- Buckets, thumbs and breakers too

What we haul
Excavators of every size
Excavators carry a lot of steel, and even a tired one has value. We buy them from contractors, landscapers, farms and private owners, whether it digs all day or hasn't moved in years.
| Size | Typical weight | How it travels |
|---|---|---|
| Mini excavator | Under 6 tonnes | Flatbed or tilt deck |
| Midi excavator | 6 to 10 tonnes | Tilt deck or small lowbed |
| Full-size excavator | Over 10 tonnes | Lowbed trailer |
Wide or very heavy machines can need a permit for the highway. We sort that out before booking, not on pickup day.
Why people sell
Broken, worn out or just not needed
- Final drive or swing motor failure
- An undercarriage that would cost more than the machine is worth
- Hydraulic pump or cylinder problems
- High hours after years of site work
- A project wrapped up and the machine sits idle
- Upgrading to a newer or bigger unit
None of those stop us from buying it. Tell us what's wrong and we'll price it as is.
Buckets and attachments
Send the attachments along with the machine: digging and clean-up buckets, thumbs, hydraulic breakers, compaction plates and quick couplers. Extra attachments from the same site can go on the same load.
Loading
If it can't track onto the truck
A running excavator walks onto the deck. One with a dead engine or seized tracks has to be winched or lifted, which takes more planning, so tell us up front. Mention whether the boom is up or down, whether the tracks turn, and how soft the ground is around it.
On a sloped Whistler lot or a muddy site in the Pemberton Valley, ground conditions matter. After heavy rain we may suggest waiting a few days so a truck can get close without sinking.
Got a skid steer or backhoe on the same site? We can take it in the same trip. See skid steer, loader and backhoe removal.
How it works
Three steps, one pickup

Questions
Excavator removal FAQ
Do you buy excavators with a blown engine or final drive?
Yes. We buy excavators with major mechanical problems. Tell us what's failed and we'll quote it as it sits.
Do you take the buckets and attachments too?
Yes. Buckets, thumbs, breakers and couplers can go with the machine, and they're part of what we look at when we price it.
What if the excavator can't move under its own power?
We can winch or lift it, but that changes the truck and the time we need. Let us know when you ask for a quote.
Do I need to clean it first?
No. Dirt and mud are expected. Just make sure there's a clear path between the machine and where a truck can park.
Can you pick up from an active job site?
Yes. Give us the site contact and any rules about delivery hours or traffic control, and we'll book around them.
Excavator parked since the last job?
Call 236-709-3961 or send the form. We'll call back with a number for the machine as it sits.
