With a big construction project on the horizon, it may become clear that the time to buy new equipment has arrived. Upgrading dump trucks, welders or scrapers may be a worthwhile investment - they'll run more efficiently, which can make it possible to take on more jobs in the future.

But what if the old equipment needs to be removed right away? With IronPlanet's consignment program, sellers can save money, as they won't have to transport the item to a physical auction site. The buyer pays to move the equipment from the seller’s location, saving the seller unnecessary transportation costs.

Sellers also have control over whether refurbishing is necessary and what work needs to be done on an item, which can help mitigate costs once an auction is completed. IronClad Assurance also allows buyers to bid with confidence, which results in better prices for the equipment. Sellers can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’ll get fair market value for the items they choose to sell through IronPlanet's marketplace.
