How to Buy

Each year hundreds of millions of dollars worth of used construction equipment is sold through IronPlanet to businesses all over the country. Our policy of independently inspecting equipment and making it easy to bid from anywhere  has quickly made us one of the leading auctioneers of construction equipment!

• Bidding is simple and fair
  Bidding takes place over the internet, usually every other Thursday. You can bid automatically or take part in the auction real-time from your computer. Fair bidding is why our auctions draw thousands of attendees again and again.

• Assurance through independent inspections
  Most equipment sold through IronPlanet has been through a rigourous independent inspection. The results are available for you to see! Plus, we guarantee that what you see on the inspection report is what you get when you receive the equipment.
