Mark Bacon, Managing Director of Mr Machinery, commented: "It is a great achievement to reach the 75,000 unique user figure in such a short space of time. It shows there truly is a genuine worldwide market for high quality plant and construction equipment.

"And companies looking to sell any surplus construction equipment can take advantage of our free valuation service, where by simply uploading a picture of their machine and entering a few basic details – such as the year it was manufactured and the serial number– they'll get an assessment from our team of experts on the item’s potential value at auction."
