Europe’s first Cat Auction Services and IronPlanet unreserved public auction will be hosted by Finning, at Rockingham Speedway, Northamptonshire, on 20th April 2016.
Together with leading industry blogger Nick Drew, from The Digger Man Blog, we’ve put together an ‘Auction Guide’, covering the following topics:
When Nick first visited Rockingham Speedway a few weeks before the auction, he had the chance to take a look at some of the first machines arriving, and put together this blog post on his experience. Click on the image below to read his review:
Auction
During his visit, Nick had a chat with IronPlanet’s Colm Moran, about the inspection process the machines go through, and the guaranteed inspection reports IronPlanet produces for every single machine. The reports give detailed information on the condition of the machines, including ratings and comments for key systems and components, functional test results and many photos; they are also stamped with Iron Planet’s IronClad Assurance.
With the IronClad Assurance, IronPlanet gives buyers the guarantee that the machines have been given a full and detailed inspection by an industry expert, as well as the confidence that what they see in the inspection report, is what they will receive.
See the video below for more information on the inspection process. More details on the machines going to auction can be find at IronPlanet.com.
What to look at when buying used equipment
Nick has also spoken to Beverley Walker, Used Equipment Specialist at Finning, about what to look out for when buying used equipment. Whether you’re an experienced second-hand buyer or doing it for the first time, this video is a must-watch.
