Types of Valuations

Fair Market Value (FMV)

The price a willing buyer would pay a willing seller — with no time pressure and full market exposure. Used for: insurance, financing, internal planning, and non-urgent asset sales.

Orderly Liquidation Value (OLV)

The expected price when assets must be sold within a defined timeframe — typically 90–180 days. Generally 10–15% below Fair Market Value. Used for: fleet rotation, structured asset disposal, and lending decisions.

Net Orderly Liquidation Value (NOLV)

Orderly Liquidation Value less the estimated costs of sale — providing a net proceeds figure after fees and disposition expenses. Used for: lender collateral assessments and secured lending decisions.

Forced Liquidation Value (FLV)

The price achievable under immediate or time-critical conditions. Represents the floor of asset value. Used for: insolvency, urgent disposal, and worst-case financial planning.

Estimated Remaining Useful Life (ERUL)

An assessment of how much productive life remains in an asset based on age, condition, hours, and maintenance history. Used for: capital planning, replacement scheduling, and lifecycle management.

Types of Appraisals

In-Person Appraisal

Physical inspections and photos of the assets at their local or remote job locations. Includes condition assessment and structural review. Formal report provided. Ideal when financial institutions require 70%+ of fleet value to be inspected.

Desktop Appraisal

Remote valuation based on information submitted, specifications, and market data. Faster turnaround. Suitable for financing, insurance, and internal decision-making where a site visit is not required.
