Mark Bacon, Managing Director of Mr Machinery, commented: "It is a great achievement to reach the 75,000 unique user figure in such a short space of time. It shows there truly is a genuine worldwide market for high quality plant and construction equipment. Anyone interested in buying used cranes, diggers, trucks, trailers or other pieces of machinery can take part in free online bidding with no buyer's commission, while they also have access to in-depth reports about each item.

"And companies looking to sell any surplus construction equipment can take advantage of our free valuation service, where by simply uploading a picture of their machine and entering a few basic details – such as the year it was manufactured and the serial number– they'll get an assessment from our team of experts on the item’s potential value at auction."

Mr Machinery is a dedicated online auction portal offering a unique platform for the sale and purchase of used plant machinery. Founded in 2007, the organisation has a global audience across more than 170 countries worldwide and currently attracts approximately 75,000 unique users to its site every year.
