IronPlanet: Your Mobile Gateway to Industrial Auctions and Heavy Equipment Sales

IronPlanet revolutionizes how businesses and individuals acquire heavy machinery, offering a mobile-optimized platform for bidding on used construction equipment, trucks, and industrial vehicles. Designed for efficiency, IronPlanet connects buyers with global auctions, featuring detailed equipment profiles, transparent inspection reports, and real-time bidding alerts. Whether sourcing excavators, tractors, or fleet vehicles, users benefit from IronPlanet’s IronClad Assurance®—a guarantee of accurate condition descriptions—and streamlined auction participation. Its intuitive tools cater to professionals seeking competitive pricing, verified quality, and flexible purchasing options.

Streamlined Auction Discovery via Category Filters

IronPlanet allows users to search for machinery by equipment type (e.g., bulldozers, cranes), location, or auction dates. After selecting a category, filters refine results by brand, price range, or operational specs. Users browse high-resolution image galleries and inspection summaries, then save items to a Watch List for quick access. This structured process ensures buyers efficiently locate equipment matching their operational needs.

IronClad Assurance® for Transcondition Assessments

Every IronPlanet listing includes a certified inspection report through IronClad Assurance®. Buyers review item conditions, repair histories, and functionality ratings before bidding. This feature minimizes risk by validating accuracy—users trust the platform’s grading system to avoid unexpected costs, making IronPlanet a reliable alternative to traditional dealer purchases.

Real-Time Bidding Alerts and Bid Placement

During auctions, users place bids directly in IronPlanet and receive push notifications if outbid. IronPlanet’s live tracking lets buyers strategize bids without constant monitoring. For example, setting a maximum bid limit triggers automatic increments until the threshold is met, streamlining competitive auctions while keeping users informed.

Mobile-Optimized Auction Participation

IronPlanet’s interface simplifies on-the-go bidding. Users watch live auctions via their phones, observing competitor activity in real time. With one-tap bid adjustments and instant payment confirmations, IronPlanet ensures seamless participation even during high-stakes auctions, eliminating the need for desktop access.

Saved Watch Lists for Multi-Auction Tracking

Buyers curate personalized Watch Lists to track equipment across multiple auctions. Items added to the list display countdowns to sale dates, price changes, and bid statuses. This centralized hub lets users manage potential purchases without missing deadlines, enhancing strategic planning for bulk acquisitions.

Direct Customer Support via One-Tap Calling

IronPlanet integrates a direct line to its support team within IronPlanet. Users tap a button to connect with agents for troubleshooting, auction clarifications, or payment inquiries. This immediate access reduces downtime, ensuring smooth transactions even for first-time buyers.

Live Auction Dashboard for Strategic Bidding

The dashboard displays active auctions, highlighting trending items, bid volumes, and time remaining. Users analyze this data to prioritize high-demand equipment or identify overlooked opportunities.
