Hello all,
I buy a lot of old equipment from government auctions, both state and federal. In all cases, I have had them load with a hoist or forklift etc., now I am looking at a piece of equipment and the place it comes from has this disclaimer:
"Buyer Is Responsible To Hire An Approved Rigging Company To Move Asset From Location In Building To Their Truck, No Exceptions."
This pretty much opens up a can of worms trying to get an estimate for something like that to add to the bidding price to buy accordingly.
Anyway, probably not bidding. I understand their theory regards injury, lawsuits the like, but can't we just have a sign off for liability. I can bring my own fork lift, pallet jack or whatever it takes.
I can see showing up to get my machine and the "load" guy changing his price or not showing and missing the removal date. By the way, you pay when you win, so the money is gone already. Not like you are showing up with cash and can leave with it.
Any thoughts on "approved rigging companies"
Another racket in my opinion,
