Online crane rental platform MyCrane has launched a free-to-use online ‘Marketplace’, designed to enable users around the world to quickly and easily buy and sell new and used lifting equipment.

Available on the Mycrane Marketplace, accessed at market.my-crane.com are many types of cranes, rigging equipment, spare parts and auxiliaries, plus global job vacancies spanning a wide range of crane-related roles, said Mycrane.

Cranes available include mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, boom trucks, aerial platforms, manlifts, mini cranes and hydraulic gantry systems.

The Marketplace is supported by the new Mycrane Inspections app, which provides extensive, real-time reports and high-quality images of the crane listed for sale – wherever it is in the world.

Powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, the app allows sellers to easily upload and modify condition reports.

According to Mycrane, unlike the majority of existing sales channels it does not charge listings fees – nor any commission – for sales conducted on the Marketplace. Sellers just need to complete a registration to create and publish their advertisements, while the Marketplace is available for browsing without registration.

Andrei Geikalo, Mycrane’s CEO and founder, said, “By increasing the scope of services offered by Mycrane, we can add more value to our global customer base. Whether you need to rent a crane, buy one or even find your next job role – you can do it all at Mycrane.”

The Marketplace provides a link to the platform’s crane rental tool. Crane rental providers can, in just a few clicks, post any of their existing registered cranes for sale in the Marketplace, without needing to re-enter the crane data.

Once a customer has purchased a crane via the Marketplace, Mycrane can provide crane transportation for the buyer, insurance and leasing (finance) to fund the purchase.
