Trenchers, Directional Drills & Boring Equipment Auctions

Install utilities efficiently with specialized underground equipment. We auction ride-on trenchers, walk-behind trenchers, vibratory plows, and horizontal directional drills (HDD) from industry leaders like Ditch Witch and Vermeer.

Easy pickup and great help loading. Got our display case back to the library safely. Will bid again!

Underground Solutions for Utility Contractors

Utility installation requires highly specialized machinery that can be expensive to buy new. West Auctions offers a cost-effective alternative for acquiring trenchers and directional drills. We work with utility contractors updating their fleets and rental companies retiring assets, bringing well-maintained Ditch Witch and Vermeer equipment to the market.

Our inventory caters to both small residential jobs and large infrastructure projects. Whether you need a small walk-behind trencher for irrigation lines or a large HDD rig for fiber optic installation, our platform allows you to inspect and bid on the right tool for the job. We provide details on engine hours, track condition, and attachment configurations to help you make informed decisions.

Still have questions?

Contact us or call 530-661-0490.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the digging depth?
We list the boom length and estimated digging depth in the description. Please verify the chain setup, as different chain configurations can affect effective depth.
Is the chain set up for dirt or rock?
Check the photos of the teeth (cup teeth vs. shark teeth/carbide). We describe the chain condition, but matching the tooth type to your local soil conditions is the buyer's responsibility.
Do boring machines come with locators?
Locating electronics (sub-site, trackers) are often sold separately or retained by the seller. If a locator package is included, it will be explicitly listed and photographed.
Are drill rods included with the HDD machine?
If the drill rod basket is full or partially full in the photos, those rods are included. We recommend counting the rods during inspection to estimate total drilling footage available.
Can I test the vibratory plow?
You can typically engage the shaker box during inspection to verify it vibrates. However, we cannot plow actual ground during the test.
Do you sell mixing systems for drilling fluid?
Yes, mud mixing systems and tanks are often sold alongside directional drills, either as a package on a trailer or as separate support lots.
