Construction equipment (also referred to as 'off-road equipment', or 'yellow iron') commonly includes such machines as: skid steers, backhoes, dozers, wheel loaders, graders, skidders, pavers, trenchers, etc. Among the most popular manufacturers of this equipment are such companies as: Caterpillar, John Deere, Case, Bobcat, Komatsu, JCB, Volvo, etc. Unlike the auto industry, the equipment industry does not follow the same Product Identification (PIN) format, and PINs or Serial Numbers differ from one manufacturer to another. Additionally, construction machines are NOT titled and, therefore, are NOT registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Unfortunately, construction equipment is very easy to steal and quite easy to sell. Many stolen machines end up being sold in the used equipment market and good faith buyers often end up in possession of stolen equipment. I have found that the only comprehensive check for stolen equipment is provided by the National Equipment Register (NER)through their service called IRONcheck(www.ironcheck.com or www.stopequipmenttheft.com) The service costs $39 per search. NER appears to be a private company, but it seems to have the most comprehensive and up-to-date equipment theft and ownership data in the US.

When a lessee sells leased equipment to a third party the lessor cannot under any circumstances recover the equipment from the buyer?

Wrong. If the lessee sells equipment to someone else that does not belong to him then it becomes stolen equipment. Then the buyer is in possession of stolen equipment. If the buyer knows or should know that the equipment is stolen, he is committing a felony. It is punishable by time in prison. The material is returned to the original owner.
