Contractors end up holding machines they no longer need, usually at the end of a project and usually at the worst possible time to sell one. We market those units to a buyer base that extends past the UAE — into the wider GCC, East Africa and North America — which is generally where the better price is.
Make, model, year, hours, location and photographs, including the serial plate. If you have service records, fluid analysis or purchase documentation, send those too — they are worth real money at sale time and most sellers do not realise it.
Within a couple of working days you get an honest assessment of what the machine will fetch and through which channel. Sometimes that answer is that you will do better listing it locally yourself and we say so rather than tie up a unit we cannot place.
If we take it on, we verify the machine to the same standard we apply to anything we sell — serial match, hour evidence, fluid analysis, undercarriage measurement, running video. A verified machine sells faster and higher than an unverified one, and the gap is usually much larger than the cost of verifying it.
The unit goes to our GCC and North American buyer base, to dealer accounts who see inventory before public listing, and onto this site. You set the reserve and you approve the sale.
We handle buyer verification, the sale agreement, payment and the transfer of ownership. If the buyer is outside the UAE we manage export documentation and shipping.
Earthmoving in the common size classes — 20 to 30 tonne excavators, mid-range wheel loaders, backhoes — moves quickly because demand is constant. Well-maintained cranes and tippers find buyers reliably. Specialist and oilfield equipment takes longer but often sells better outside the UAE than in it, which is precisely where a wider buyer base pays.
Machines without clean ownership documentation. Units whose serial plates are missing, altered or inconsistent with their paperwork. Anything where the hours cannot be reconciled with the condition. We would rather lose a listing than put a buyer into that.

We list and sell all over the world. Our partnerships with massive publications put you in front of over 1 million equipment buyers weekly. Everyday buyers are finding quality equipment at wholesale pricing.
