When looking to buy or sell used agriculture equipment or construction equipment online, there are a number of websites offering their services.However, IronPlanet was the first website to do this, and has proven time and time again to be a reliable and knowledgeable company that helps its customers walk away from an auction fully satisfied.

In business for more than 11 years, IronPlanet's staff consists of nearly 300 employees stationed around the world, with operations in North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. In all, more than two-billion dollars' worth of equipment has been bought and sold through the site.

With a database of more than 600,000 users, new pieces of equipment are listed on a regular basis. IronPlanet's targeted marketing means the right pairs of eyes will see a piece of equipment when it enters the marketplace, which can lead to a quick and efficient auction process.

Another reason to select IronPlanet is IronClad Assurance, a service that can’t be found anywhere else. Before an item enters the marketplace, a representative will come by and perform a visual inspection of all of the essential components of the equipment. He will then take between 50 and 100 photographs, which provides potential buyers with a much more detailed idea of the condition of the item.

IronClad Assurance is beneficial for both buyers and sellers. These items generate more site traffic, since potential buyer know they'll be able to see an item in great detail, which allows them to bid with confidence. In turn, this helps sellers, as more potential buyers lead to a higher sale price.

Other sites don't offer this service, which means buyers are left to take the word of sellers who may not provide as thorough information about the item up for auction. One can never have too many details when it comes to a major equipment purchase, which is why IronClad Assurance is such a boon for those looking through the marketplace.
