Frequently Asked Questions about Galion Graders
Purple Wave auctions frequently feature a wide range of Galion grader models, including the 830B, T500M, 503, and 118 series. These graders vary in age, from vintage models dating back to the 1950s to more recent models from the 1990s, catering to different needs and budgets.
Purple Wave provides detailed listings for each Galion grader, including information on the model, year, serial number, engine specifications, transmission type, and known issues. We also disclose hour meter readings when available, ensuring buyers have comprehensive information to make informed decisions.
When evaluating a used Galion grader, consider factors such as the hour meter reading, engine and transmission condition, hydraulic system functionality, moldboard condition and features (e.g., tip control, side shift), tire condition, and any reported issues like leaks or non-operational components. It's also important to check the grader's frame condition and the overall operational status.
While comprehensive maintenance records may not always be available, Purple Wave strives to provide all known information about each Galion grader. This often includes recent repairs, known issues, and any available service history. We recommend reviewing the detailed description for each listing to gather this information.
Galion graders often feature adjustable moldboards with tip control and side shift capabilities, varying from 10' to 14' in length. Many models include enclosed cabs with heating systems, powershift transmissions, and hydraulic control valves. Some graders are equipped with additional features like scarifiers, snow plows, or front-mounted lift groups.
To determine the value of a Galion grader, consider factors such as the model, age, operational hours, overall condition, and included features. Compare similar models sold in recent auctions, and factor in any required repairs or upgrades. Remember that Purple Wave's no-reserve auctions allow the market to determine the final price, often resulting in competitive values for buyers.
Galion graders are heavy equipment and require specialized transportation. Consider the grader's dimensions, weight, and operational status when arranging transport. Some non-operational units may need to be towed or hauled. Be sure to factor in transportation costs when bidding, and check local regulations regarding the transport of heavy machinery.
Common issues with used Galion graders may include hydraulic leaks, transmission problems, brake issues, and tire wear. Older models might have electrical issues or require battery replacement. Always carefully review the equipment description for any disclosed problems, and consider the potential repair costs when bidding.
Purple Wave clearly identifies non-operational or 'parts only' Galion graders in the listing descriptions. These units are sold as-is and may be suitable for buyers looking for replacement parts or those with the capability to refurbish the equipment. Always carefully read the item description to understand the grader's condition before bidding.
Galion graders are known for their durability and longevity, with many decades-old models still in operation. They often feature robust construction, versatile moldboard configurations, and compatibility with various attachments. The availability of older models in auctions can provide cost-effective options for buyers looking for reliable graders at competitive prices.
