Is buying and selling surplus military vehicles a hobby of yours? John Adams-Graf, Editor for Military Vehicles Magazine and Military Trader, takes a look at how IronPlanet will take over selling surplus stock for the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA).

With TruckPlanet, buying and selling used commercial trucks has never been easier. Work Truck magazine explores the history and advantages of TruckPlanet here and in the September issue.

PLEASANTON, Calif. – [Sept. 24, 2014] – IronPlanet®, the leading online marketplace for buying and selling used heavy equipment and trucks, today launched GovPlanet^SM, an online marketplace dedicated to buying and selling used government assets. GovPlanet will be the primary marketplace for the sale of U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) rolling stock surplus assets.

“We are excited to bring our expertise as well as our over one million registered users to the government surplus market with our recently awarded contract from the U.S. Defense Logistics Agency,” said Gregory J. Owens, Chairman and CEO, IronPlanet. “GovPlanet is a compelling new platform for fast and efficient disposal of government surplus equipment that we believe will transform the way assets have traditionally been sold in this market. We look forward to working with the DoD and other public sector entities as we grow GovPlanet.”

“I would like to commend the staff at IronPlanet for the ease in selling several pieces of equipment earlier this year. Our representative, Chris Owens, was very helpful and the entire process went smoothly. I would highly recommend IronPlanet to anyone thinking of selling construction equipment and will be using the site again as future needs arise.” – Carletta Fannin, Executive Assistant, Guyan International
