IronPlanet: Your Mobile Gateway to Global Heavy Equipment Auctions  

IronPlanet revolutionizes how industries acquire machinery by bringing trusted heavy equipment auctions to your smartphone. This specialized marketplace connects buyers worldwide with verified construction, agricultural, and transportation assets, from excavators to fleet vehicles. Users choose IronPlanet for its transparent listings, live bidding tools, and IronClad Assurance inspections—guaranteeing condition accuracy. Whether sourcing a single bulldozer or managing fleet upgrades, the app streamlines auctions, inspections, and purchases in one platform.  

Real-Time Auction Participation from Anywhere  

IronPlanet users join global auctions via the app’s live dashboard. After creating an account, buyers browse upcoming events or search for specific items. When an auction starts, tap “Place Bid” to submit offers instantly. The app sends push notifications if competitors outbid you, enabling quick counteroffers. Winning bids trigger automated purchase agreements, with equipment released post-payment. This real-time access eliminates geographic barriers to high-value transactions.  

Comprehensive Equipment Inspections via IronClad Assurance  

Every IronPlanet listing includes a multi-point inspection report under the IronClad Assurance program. Users review damage assessments, operational tests, and repair histories in the “Details” tab. High-resolution photo galleries showcase equipment from multiple angles. Buyers can cross-reference this data with third-party certifications before bidding, reducing risks associated with used machinery.  

Customizable Search Filters for Targeted Browsing  

IronPlanet’s search tool lets users filter equipment by type (e.g., “wheel loaders”), make (Caterpillar, Komatsu), location, or auction date. Results display price ranges, hours/mileage, and seller ratings. Save searches as “Favorites” for one-tap access to preferred categories. For fleet managers, this feature streamlines bulk acquisitions across regions.  

Instant Bid Alerts and Watchlist Management  

IronPlanet’s Watch List notifies users about bid activity on tracked items. Add machinery to your list via the star icon, then receive alerts when auctions near closing times or if prices exceed budgets. This prevents missed opportunities and helps strategize last-minute bids during competitive sales.  

Live Auction Monitoring with Interactive Dashboards  

During live events, the app’s dashboard displays current bid leaders, time remaining, and bid increments. Users observe real-time patterns to optimize their offers. A countdown clock adds urgency, while the “Bid History” tab reveals competitor behavior, enabling data-driven decisions.  

Streamlined Post-Purchase Support and Logistics  

After winning, IronPlanet simplifies logistics through integrated support. Contact sellers directly via the “Messages” tab or tap the phone icon for immediate customer service. IronPlanet provides shipping recommendations and links to financing partners, ensuring timely equipment delivery.
