The sale will be held online, and will offer 149 new and used machines including equipment from Pon CAT Rental of Denmark, Liebherr of the UK, JLG’s European, Middle Eastern and African operations and other suppliers from the Netherlands, France, Ireland and Poland. The auction will also feature aerial work platforms, backhoes, compactors, dozers, excavators, loaders, skid steers, trucks and more. “IronPlanet has just completed a record year in 2008 and our launch in Europe is another significant milestone in our international growth strategy,” said IronPlanet Europe managing director Tom Cornell. “I am pleased with the market reception to our European launch and the number of equipment consignments in our first auction. “A key benefit that IronPlanet offers, unlike other auctions, is our guaranteed inspection reports. These inspection reports ensure that our buyers know the true condition of the equipment and can bid with confidence.” Detailed inspection reports for each piece of equipment in the January 28 unreserved auction can be viewed on www.ironplanet.com. Iron Planet said these inspection reports included a visual inspection of key systems and components along with ratings and notes, images of the equipment, wear-related measurements and oil and fluid samples when appropriate.
