Call For Construction Firms To Cash In On Used Machinery

Online auction specialist Mr Machinery is calling on construction companies to make the most of the continuing high demand for quality used plant and equipment.

The auction portal reports increasing interest and consistently strong prices for items up for sale at some of its most recent fortnightly reserved auctions at www.mrmachinery.com, as a result of many firms facing huge difficulties in sourcing new tractors, trailers, cranes, diggers and other types of construction equipment.

"Due to a slowdown in manufacturing, there can often be a waiting list of up to 12 months for firms to get their hands on a new piece of machinery," Mark Bacon, Managing Director of Mr Machinery, explained. "This has led to a massive growth in demand for high-quality used equipment, and provides a fantastic chance for companies with any surplus plant and heavy equipment to cash in and get excellent value in return.

"I'd urge any construction company with unwanted cranes, tractors, trucks, trailers or any other used equipment and vehicles to take advantage of our free valuation service on www.mrmachinery.com, where by simply uploading a photograph of their machine and completing some basic details – such as the serial number and the year it was manufactured – they will be able to get an assessment of the item’s potential value at auction from our team of experts."

Mr Machinery is a dedicated online auction portal offering a unique platform for the sale and purchase of used plant machinery. Founded in 2007, the organisation has a global audience across more than 170 countries worldwide and currently attracts approximately 60,000 unique users to its site every year. With extensive experience within the heavy equipment and logistics industries, the team provides both buyers and sellers a professional, personal and reliable service.
