It's a full harvest moon on Friday, September 16, so if you're feeling extra-compelled to buy a late model Kenworth dump truck or a Cat Crawler Tractor, well, you're dealing with forces beyond your control. Don't try to resist - IronPlanet's September to Remember has lots of great machinery that you can preview now online and bid on next Thursday, September 22.

Ahead of that we have great construction equipment and Humvees coming up in our GovPlanet auction on September 21. Preview all items today!  

Our Edmonton, Alberta Cat Auction Services sale is all online this quarter. If you are in Edmonton, go visit the yard, and if you're somewhere warmer, preview the equipment online. This sale features this 2011 Cat 160M AWD VHP Plus Motor Grader, this 2013 Cat TL1055C Telehandler, this 2013 Volvo MCT135C Compact Track Loader, and this 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty 4x4 S/A Utility Truck.

It's that time of year at IronPlanet, when the air is cooler and we hear our favorite crunching sound - the snap crackle and pop of quarry, aggregate, and mining equipment featured in the September 15 and 16 auction. Take a look at the dump trucks, excavators, wheel loaders, and crushers up for bid:

Quality oilfield transportation equipment from Fowler and Darby Equipment Company will be available during IronPlanet's two-day auction on September 15 and 16. In a unique twist on auction bidding, on September 12 through 14 items will be available to preview on-site at 3419 W. Pinecrest Drive in Marshall, TX and 1705 East Highway 350 in Marshall TX. On September 15 and 16, kiosks equipped with computers will be onsite to take bids from purchasers. The online auction will also be open.

Fowler's and Darby Equipment Company's massive selection of oilfield transportation equipment will be sold: crawler cranes, oil field tractor and gin pole trucks, winch trucks, vans, wheel loaders, tools, and more. Interested buyers can bid in person at the preview site, online in real time, or by PriorityBid.

When Walmart charged designers and engineers with creating a truck of the future, what resulted was like something the Batmobile would dream after eating a spicy dinner. The people at Peterbilt/Roush/Great Dane/Capstone Turbine must have had a blast creating this prototype. Walmart’s Advanced Vehicle Experience (“WAVE”) concept truck features a 180-degree rotational center-mounted driver’s seat, fully adjustable touch-screen gauge pods that monitor every component on the vehicle, and a hybrid power-pack mated to a fully functional turbine-driven drivetrain.

Sadly, this creation is not available in IronPlanet's September 15-16 auction, but there are plenty of well-maintained and good-looking trucks available to purchase. Buy with confidence knowing you've got IronPlanet'sIronClad Assurance® equipment condition certification - just another way IronPlanet helps its customers to buy online.

Good news in the world of construction aggregate came via a report from Persistence Market Research. Crunching the numbers (see what we did there?) it says that:

• demand for construction aggregate is estimated to reach 43.3 billion metric tons by the end of 2016, to the tune of around $350 billion;
• market growth is forecast at 6.3 percent in 2016; and
• consumption should reach 69.2 billion metric tons at the end of 2024.

The report also stated emphatically (or it should have) that now is the time to GO BIG during IronPlanet's September 15 auction, especially when it comes to this 2012 Cat 740B Articulated Dump Truck, this Portable Impact Crusher, or this 2000 Volvo WG Quad/A Straight Boom Truck.

Take a look at the quarry, aggregate, and mining equipment available during IronPlanet's September 15 auction. Read the carefully-prepared item descriptions, then go BIG and buy with confidence.

If it's BIG, we dig it at IronPlanet. Our excitement isn't just for awesome auctions like the Humvees on September 13, the Kruse Oilfield Equipment Auction in Duncan, OK on September 14,  the UNRESERVED auction in Dallas/Ft. Worth on September 14,  the GovPlanet auction on September 14, the Pump & Power sale on September 15, and the spectacular two-day auction on September 15-16. We also love big bikes, boats, people - you say "big", we say "love."

We're jazzed about the September 15-16 auctionpalooza because it has items like this 2013 Cat 740B Articulated Dump Truck, this 2010 HREM HRLT-55 Portable Container Loading System,  this 2006 Cat 226B Skid-Steer Loader, and this 2003 Sterling LT9500 Tri/A Mixer Truck.

Friday and Saturday, September 9 and 10, IronPlanet will be in Detroit for a collector's car auction with Leake Auction Company. After that, you'll be back for . . .

. . . the September 13 online All Humvee Sale! 

You literally won't have any reservations about going big in the Lone Star state! On September 14 IronPlanet and Cat Auction Services will be live onsite in Dallas/Ft. Worth. This auction is UNRESERVED and we don't mean the seating. Bid on this 2014 Cat 289D Compact Track Loader or this 2014 Cat CT660S T/A Conventional Day Cab. You'd be crazy to miss this auction.

September 15 and 16 will be the grandaddy of IronPlanet auctions, with over 2,000 items up for bid. Fowler Transportation will be onsite at Marshall, TX and Big Spring, TX with a complete dispersal of over 600 items including this 2011 Kobelco CK850 III Lattice-Boom Crawler Crane, this 2014 Kenworth W900 Tri/A Winch Truck, and this 2008 John Deere 544J Wheel Loader. Bidding for these and other items will take place online.

GovPlanet is going to pump (clap) you up during the Pump & Power sale online September 15, featuring this 1996 Gorman-Rupp 604-F 6" Fuel Transfer Pump and scads of 1987 Gorman-Rupp 609-C 6" Water Pumps, among others.

True fact: everybody wants a classic car. Here are four reasons you should make this your own September to remember when you purchase your dream car online or in person at the Leake and IronPlanet auction in Detroit on Friday and Saturday, September 9 and 10. 

1. It's economically sensible. A new car depreciates by approximately 11 percent the minute you drive it off the lot. A classic car gains value by the day. A 1965 Mustang Fastback cost around $3,500. Now, depending on the condition, it can bring around $50,000! 

2. The Batmobile. Steve McQueen's Mustang GT fastback. Starsky and Hutch's 1975 Gran Torino. You are a reflection of the company you keep. That includes your car.

3. You need a trusty sidekick. Like Thelma and Louise and that turquoise Thunderbird, it's vital to have a distinctive car to take you on your adventure. 

Great starting bids on trucks, trailers, and more during IronPlanet's September to remember. This is your opportunity to preview the hundreds of trucks and trailers available in our September 8 auction, including this 2012 Freightliner 114SD Tri/A Dump Truck, this 2006 Volvo VNM64T T/A Conventional Day Cab, and this National Crane 900A Straight Boom on 2003 Sterling LT8500 T/A Truck.
