In our industry, we refer to this type of equipment as, “non-titled equipment.” As you may already know, most construction equipment like excavators, bulldozers, and skid steers do not have titles.

How do you prove ownership of equipment?

The seller must provide evidence of ownership of the equipment. A good option would be the original invoice or bill of sale from when the current owner purchased the equipment. It is likely that for major equipment items purchased from a dealership, the information will be on record with that vendor.

Do telehandlers have titles?

Does a forklift have a title? No title for forklifts because they were not meant to be licensed. They are legally transferred with a bill of sale (Invoice) that includes the serial number and the date.
