Machinery and Equipment Appraisals Across Oregon
Oregon has a diverse business economy shaped by manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, healthcare, food processing, technology, construction, and transportation. Many of these industries rely on specialized machinery that can be difficult to value without professional appraisal experience.
For example, a company may own production machinery with strong utility inside the business, but limited demand in the resale market. Another company may own construction equipment that has a strong secondary market but varies greatly in value based on condition, hours, attachments, and maintenance history. A qualified Oregon Machinery and Equipment Appraiser understands these differences and develops value conclusions that reflect the asset, the market, and the intended use of the appraisal.

Why Oregon Businesses Choose Truman Mox
Equipment appraisals are often used in major business decisions. Because of that, the report must be clear, independent, and well-supported. Truman Mox combines professional standards with practical valuation experience to help clients move forward with confidence.
American Society of Appraisers Membership
Truman Mox maintains active membership in the American Society of Appraisers (ASA), one of the most respected professional appraisal organizations. This affiliation reflects our commitment to continuing education, ethical appraisal practice, and recognized valuation standards.
USPAP-Compliant Reports
We prepare appraisals in accordance with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. As a result, our reports are suitable for lenders, attorneys, courts, CPAs, business owners, trustees, and government agencies.
Market-Based Valuation Support
We do not rely on guesswork. Instead, we evaluate the equipment, the assignment purpose, comparable market data, cost information, depreciation, industry demand, and resale conditions.
Practical Business Understanding
Our background in machinery and equipment valuation allows us to understand how assets are used in actual business operations. This matters because a machine’s value can differ depending on its condition, use, installation, marketability, and removal considerations.

Case Study: Wood Products Manufacturer in Eugene
A wood products manufacturer near Eugene contacted Truman Mox after its lender requested an independent appraisal for a refinancing transaction. The company operated a facility with sawmill-related equipment, planers, forklifts, dust collection equipment, compressors, conveyors, and support machinery.
As the company’s Oregon Machinery and Equipment Appraiser, Truman Mox reviewed the equipment list, completed an on-site inspection, documented condition, and researched comparable market data. The appraisal included Fair Market Value and Orderly Liquidation Value conclusions.
The lender used the report to evaluate collateral support for the refinancing request. The business was then able to complete the financing process and use the additional working capital to improve production flow and address equipment upgrades.
Common Reasons to Hire an Oregon Machinery and Equipment Appraiser
Businesses request equipment appraisals for many reasons. In each case, the goal is to obtain an independent value conclusion that can be relied upon by the intended users.
Commercial Financing
Banks and finance companies often require machinery appraisals before approving loans secured by equipment.
SBA Loans
SBA lenders may request independent equipment appraisals for 7(a) and 504 loan files.
Business Sales and Acquisitions
Buyers and sellers use machinery values during due diligence, negotiations, and purchase price allocation.
Litigation and Disputes
Attorneys and courts rely on independent appraisals during shareholder disputes, divorce matters, partnership disagreements, and commercial litigation.
Insurance Claims and Coverage Reviews
A professional appraisal may help document equipment values for insurance purposes or support a claim after a loss.
Estate and Tax Planning
Equipment appraisals can assist with estate administration, tax reporting, charitable donation matters, and ownership transfers.
Internal Planning
Business owners may request appraisals to better understand asset values before expanding, selling, refinancing, or reorganizing operations.
Value Conclusions We Provide
Different appraisal assignments require different value definitions. Truman Mox works with clients to identify the correct premise of value based on the intended use.
Fair Market Value
Fair Market Value estimates the price an asset would bring between a willing buyer and willing seller when both parties have reasonable knowledge and neither party is forced to act.
Orderly Liquidation Value
Orderly Liquidation Value estimates proceeds from a sale that occurs over a reasonable marketing period, often under more structured liquidation conditions.
Forced Liquidation Value
Forced Liquidation Value estimates what assets may bring when they must be sold quickly, often with limited exposure to the market.
On-Site and Desktop Appraisal Options
Truman Mox offers flexible appraisal options throughout Oregon.
On-Site Appraisals
For complex facilities, high-value assets, or lender-driven assignments, our appraisers can visit the site to inspect equipment, verify information, document condition, and photograph assets.
Desktop Appraisals
For some assignments, a desktop appraisal may be appropriate. Clients provide equipment lists, photos, invoices, maintenance records, and other supporting documentation. This approach can reduce cost and speed up the process when a site visit is not required.
