If you had a chance to attend the 2014 CONEXPO-CON/AGG show, you know that it was a busy and exciting display of the latest construction equipment, products and services. At the IronPlanet booth, CEO Greg Owens highlighted some of our top milestones of the last 12 months, including:
- Surpassing one million registered users and how this validates IronPlanet’s online model for buying and selling used equipment
- IronPlanet’s partnership with Mascus and how customers that list their equipment on Mascus can now move their equipment to auction on IronPlanet with the click of a mouse
- IronPlanet acquired Asset Appraisal Services and launched TruckPlanet in 2013 to better serve the truck market. TruckPlanet has sold more than $50 million of trucks and registered more than 50,000 prospective truck buyers
- IronPlanet has formed strategic relationships with GraysOnline in Australia and Clear Asset in South Africa to better serve the global mining industry
- IronPlanet’s successful expansion into the crane industry, highlighted by the sale of a $3 million walking dragline last year
- IronPlanet’s impressive growth in Canada which included year-over-year gains in 2013, including a 22 percent increase in new registrations, 135 percent increase in new sellers and 72 percent increase in items sold
Thanks to all of our booth visitors for stopping by to learn more about our online marketplace. We’d also like to congratulate the winners of our “iBid, iWin, iPad” contest, who submitted the most accurate guesses for the final selling price of equipment being sold on IronPlanet that week. Winners include: Fred Meram, Robert Cairns, Charles Bocook, Bob Gazis and Dan Rezin.
In 2014, we are looking forward to helping more equipment buyers and sellers acquire and dispose of their assets easily and efficiently.
