MYCRANE, the first global platform for online crane rental, has expanded its offer with the launch of a new Marketplace to facilitate the international sale and purchase of lifting equipment.

Officially launched at bauma China, the Marketplace draws on the strengths of the MYCRANE crane rental platform, which is already well-established in highly active buying markets such as India and the Middle East, and has more than 1,100 registered crane rental companies offering in excess of 10,000 cranes.

MYCRANE users – and all other interested parties located around the world – are now able to buy and sell used and new lifting equipment on the MYCRANE Marketplace, which promotes a shift from low volume and costly trades, to numerous, cost-efficient sales transactions. No subscription fees apply, only competitive fees are payable on conclusion of a sale.

Lifting equipment on sale at the MYCRANE Marketplace includes mobile, crawler, tower and speciality cranes, as well as aerial work platforms and other equipment.

“Just as we’ve made crane rental easy and accessible for all, we now want to democratize the equipment sales process, by supporting fast, global trading and providing access to a wide range of keenly-priced equipment,” says Andrei Geikalo, MYCRANE founder and CEO.

“The MYCRANE Marketplace is particularly valuable to individuals and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), who will be empowered by the ability to source the right equipment at the right price – wherever they are, internationally.

“The goal is to streamline the buying process, increase transparency and choice, and create a robust trading platform for the benefit of the entire industry.”

Advantages of the MYCRANE Marketplace – accessed at market.my-crane.com – include the provision of verified crane documentation, options to filter lifting equipment by age and condition, and the ability to obtain inspection reports.

Finally, MYCRANE is able to offer logistics and transportation services, facilitating the sales process all the way to final delivery at the customer’s project site anywhere in the world, as well as insurance and leasing (finance) to fund the purchase.
