The accompanying charts include a few of the most notable trends.
New market data from Sandhills Global shows what many auctioneers have already experienced in 2021: equipment auctions are bringing tremendous returns. Year-over-year auction values in the used heavy-duty commercial truck industry were up 22.86%, and the used construction equipment industry saw similar growth with a 12.34% YOY value increase in the auction market. Sandhills monitors these industries—and many more—with its Equipment Value Index (EVI) to analyze deeper trends in the ever-changing equipment values across Sandhills marketplaces, including AuctionTime.com, TractorHouse.com, MachineryTrader.com, TruckPaper.com, and other industry-specific equipment platforms that connect buyers and sellers all over the world.
Chart Takeaways

U.S. Used Heavy-Duty Trucks
- The 22.9% YOY auction value increase in the used heavy-duty truck market is underscored by an average auction value of $31,781 for sleeper and day cabs.

U.S. Used Construction Equipment
- Rising auction values for loaders (up 10.9%) and backhoes (up 9.5%) were the major equipment categories driving auction values in the used heavy-duty construction market, which were up 12.34% YOY.
