Construction Firms Can Cash In On Surplus Stock

Construction companies with a surplus of used plant and equipment are being called on to take advantage of online auction specialist www.mrmachinery.com's free valuation service.

The used machinery expert is urging firms to cash in on the ongoing demand for quality used cranes, excavators, trucks, trailers and other types of construction equipment by putting their unwanted items up for sale at one of Mr Machinery’s fortnightly reserved online auctions.

"Because of a Europe-wide manufacturing slowdown, there can often be a year-long waiting list for companies to get their hands on a brand new piece of machinery," Mark Bacon, Managing Director of Mr Machinery, explained. "This has subsequently seen a massive surge in demand for high-quality used equipment, providing a real opportunity for businesses with any surplus stock to cash in and get excellent value in return.

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.
