**Engine & starting** - Why won't it start — dead battery, starter failure, fuel/compression issue, or a bigger engine problem? - When did it last run normally? - Actual engine hours (listing says "unknown")? - Engine make/model (Cummins, Detroit Diesel, etc.) and any visible oil or coolant leaks? - Can it be jump-started or boosted for an on-site test? **Hydraulics & mast** - Any leaks in hoses, cylinders, or the pump? - Does the mast raise/lower and does the spreader (grapples) open/close manually or with external power, even with the engine off? - Condition of the mast chains (rust, wear, tension)? **Transmission & undercarriage** - Transmission type (manual/automatic/powershift) and does it engage gears? - Condition of all 4 tires, including any flats? - Axles and brakes: do service and parking brakes work? **Electrical** - Battery, alternator, and wiring condition (rodent damage is common on equipment sitting idle in a yard)? - Do lights, horn, and dashboard work? 07/27/2026 16:33:08 PM

I'm sorry, we just don't have any records on these old assets. We've already tested to see if they can be jump started and every attempt has failed, we are not allowing any further testing. No flat tires. All your other concerns we are not aware of, we don't have records as stated and we don't have available personnel to do a full blown inspection. As of now Sold as is where. 07/31/2026 07:40:37 AM

**History & maintenance** - Any maintenance records available, even partial? - How long has the machine been sitting idle (date removed from service)? - Why did Maher take it out of service — mechanical failure, obsolescence, end of contract? **Structural** - Any visible damage to the chassis, counterweight, or cab (cracked glass, structural rust)? - Are any components missing (batteries, covers, sensors, already-cannibalized parts)? **Legal & logistics (critical given "no title" and "as-is")** - Why is there no title — is this yard equipment never registered for road use, or was the title lost? - What documentation is actually provided (bill of sale) to transport or resell it? - Approximate weight and exact dimensions (needed to quote a crane/lowboy, since it can't be driven)? - Does Maher allow an in-person inspection before the auction closes? - Is there a deadline to remove the equipment after winning, and storage fees if you miss it? 07/27/2026 16:34:18 PM

Equipment is more than a decade old. We don't have accurate records. 07/27/2026 16:43:01 PM

Legal & logistics (critical given "no title" and "as-is")** - Why is there no title — is this yard equipment never registered for road use, or was the title lost? - What documentation is actually provided (bill of sale) to transport or resell it? - Approximate weight and exact dimensions (needed to quote a crane/lowboy, since it can't be driven)? - Does Maher allow an in-person inspection before the auction closes? - Is there a deadline to remove the equipment after winning, and storage fees if you miss it? - Does the yard have a crane/forklift to load it onto a truck, or must the buyer bring their own lifting equipment? - Confirm any additional GovDeals/Maher fees on top of the final bid price. 07/27/2026 16:34:50 PM

Poor record keeping on our part. Probably lost. At this point we are not offering days to see it. If we have to repost and schedule inspections next time we will. 48 hrs to remove equipment if you are selected winner. You must bring your own demobilization equipment. 07/27/2026 16:42:10 PM

It is not right that they aren't providing contact information for the terminal—someone who could tell us if we can disassemble the machine on-site or if there is a company authorized to work inside the port—because the machine's tower is 20 feet tall. 07/30/2026 16:54:59 PM

All questions and concerns are 1st communicated through the gov Deals platform. If on going discussions are needed I'd be more than happy to provide my contact information. Yes, should you win you can disassemble the machine on-site. We will designate a specific area for the dismantling to take place. Also, we will provide you some crane company contacts that will help you in dismantling, the company's we provided have been cleared to be on site and meet all labor Harmony standards. If you choose to bring in a company of your own we must have the company reviewed to make sure they meet Labor Harmony standards. If you need more information please call me at 908-527-8200 EXT 5466. 07/31/2026 07:36:01 AM

can i see the machine tomorrow morning by 7am send me the location and contact number 07/30/2026 20:33:24 PM

Sir, this equipment has been posted for 2 weeks. I cannot set up any meeting on short notice. If no viable offers come in during this Auction and the equipment gets reposted then I can set something up at a later time. 07/31/2026 07:29:18 AM

- Can we take our mechanics to dismantle tower, spreader, and body so we can load it on the lowboy? Do you have people that do it? We have been trying to contact you. 07/31/2026 09:39:32 AM

Hello Carlos, we spoke on the phone about your concerns. Just give me a call back if you need anything else. 07/31/2026 10:22:59 AM
