Lot notes
Inspected at the Smith & Broughton Midland yard on a public inspection day. The machine was offered not running with an out-of-service tag fitted; it was started under auxiliary power for limited checks. The full report records what was and was not assessable on the day, with 216 photographs and the ECM history from the machine (Cat ET PSR download) included.
Scope and limits
- Condition as observed on the inspection date, at a public inspection day, with the access allowed on the day.
- Anything not accessible on the day is recorded as not assessed, not guessed at.
- Auction inspection scope: what a stationary machine can show, documented per the RedSpec ACR method. Function and operational testing sit outside auction-day access; commission an inspection for the complete ACR.
- No fitness-for-service sign-off and no purchase recommendation. RedSpec finds, flags, presents; the bid is yours.
