UPGRADE SMARTER WITH THE HODGE TRADE-IN PROGRAM

 

Looking to refresh your equipment without the hassle, risk, or uncertainty? The HODGE Trade-In Program makes upgrading simple, transparent, and rewarding. Whether it’s a single unit or an entire fleet, trading in with HODGE is faster, easier, and more predictable than selling independently.

Trade-in value is determined fairly based on a combination of factors: equipment age, make, model, hours, condition, service history, market demand, and OEM support. Equipment in good condition, with lower hours and strong maintenance history, tends to bring the highest value.

WHY A TRADE-IN WITH HODGE MAKES SENSE

Selling equipment on your own can be time-consuming and stressful—advertising, negotiating, coordinating pickup, and hoping for payment all take time and carry risk. Trading in with HODGE:

  • Eliminates uncertainty and simplifies logistics
  • Reduces liability exposure with a professional ownership transfer
  • Often applies trade-in value directly to your next equipment purchase
  • Offers a faster, more predictable process than private sale or auction

HOW THE TRADE-IN PROCESS WORKS

Our process is straightforward and designed around your needs:

  1. Start the Conversation

    Chat with your HODGE representative to begin the process and explore your options.

  2. Share Equipment Details

    Provide key information such as model, serial number, hours, and photos.

  3. Get Your Trade-In Value

    Provide key information such as model, serial number, hours, and photos.

  4. Finalize Your Agreement

    Confirm the details and apply your trade-in value toward your new purchase.

  5. Schedule Pickup & Delivery

    Coordinate pickup of your old equipment alongside delivery of your replacement.

Typical timelines are quick: initial evaluation in a few business days, final agreement within one to two weeks, and pickup aligned with your schedule.

EXTRA BENEFITS

Trading in with HODGE is easy. Plus it offers the following benefits to your business:

  • Minimizes downtime during transitions
  • Simplifies fleet upgrades and replacement planning
  • Works for single units or full fleet trade-ins
  • Ensures clear communication with no surprises

Accurate trade-in value relies on verifying equipment details, battery condition, and timing for replacement units. A final inspection ensures the offer reflects the equipment’s current condition, keeping the process fair and transparent.
