Equipment & materials

How the broker channel works

MTD doesn't warehouse inventory. We connect people who have surplus mechanical equipment or materials with vetted marketplaces, consignment programs, and buyers — and we're upfront that we're the intermediary, not the seller of record.

1

Tell us what you have (or need)

Surplus pumps, HVAC units, process equipment, or industrial materials — or tell us what you're sourcing.

2

We match it to the right channel

We route it to established consignment dealers, marketplaces, or direct buyers based on equipment type and condition.

3

You see the terms before anything moves

Commission, documentation, and condition requirements are disclosed before you commit — no equipment changes hands through us blind.

Note: MTD is a broker/intermediary for equipment and materials, not a stocking distributor. If you're evaluating us for a listing or partnership, ask what channel we'd route your equipment through — we'll tell you plainly.

Consulting engagement, subcontract opportunity, or equipment to move — tell us what you're working on.
