A Straight Deal, Every Time.

​

Thickson Equipment Sales was founded by Frank Chiappetta, a veteran of more than 25 years in the trucking and equipment industry. After decades of running fleets, buying gear, fixing machines, and navigating the ups and downs of auctions and dealerships, Frank created Thickson with one mission:  to take the guesswork out of buying and selling equipment.

 

At Thickson, we believe equipment sales shouldn’t feel like a gamble. Auctions are unpredictable, private sales are risky, and big dealers often prioritize their bottom line over your needs. That’s where we’re different.

​

For Sellers

We make turning idle assets into cash simple, fair, and fast. With our 3-step process (Contact – Offer – Done), you avoid the headaches of auctions, tire-kickers, and waiting months for payment. We handle the pickup, cleanup, and resale, so you can get back to running your business.

​

For Buyers

When you buy from Thickson, you’re not just buying a machine — you’re buying into confidence and continuity. Every piece of equipment we sell goes through a thorough refurbishment process: mechanical checks, safety inspections, and cosmetic improvements. We don’t just flip equipment; we stand behind it.

 

Frank’s decades of experience mean that every unit is chosen carefully — not just for price, but for reliability, value, and resale potential. That’s why repeat buyers keep coming back: they know the gear is work-ready, fairly priced, and backed by ongoing support.

​

The Thickson Difference

• Integrity First – A deal is only good if it works for both sides.

• Refurbished & Reliable – Equipment is inspected, tested, and ready to work.

• Below-Market Pricing – Value that beats auctions and private sales.

• Relationships, Not Transactions – We build trust for the long haul.

• Local Roots, Global Reach – Serving Southern Ontario with a reputation that travels.

Why buy from us? Because you’re not just buying equipment. You’re buying into Frank’s years of expertise, a promise of honesty, and a relationship that lasts long after the handshake.
