MYCRANE MARKETPLACE ALLOWS TRADING OF NEW AND USED LIFTING EQUIPMENT

Mycrane has launched a free-to-use online marketplace, market.my-crane.com, allowing users around the world to buy and sell new and used lifting equipment. The marketplace lists a variety of cranes including mobile cranes, crawler cranes, tower cranes, boom trucks, aerial work platforms, mini cranes and hydraulic gantry systems; spare parts and auxiliaries; and global job vacancies in the crane industry.

The marketplace is supported by the Mycrane Inspections app, which provides extensive, realtime reports and high-quality images of the cranes listed for sale. Powered by artificial intelligence and machine learning, the app allows sellers to upload and modify condition reports, eliminating the need for expensive, specialist crane inspections.

The marketplace provides a link to the platform’s crane rental tool. Crane rental providers can 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.

Mycrane does not charge listings fees or commissions for sales conducted on the marketplace. Sellers are required to create an account to publish their advertisements.

Andrei Geikalo, CEO and founder, Mycrane, explains: “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.

“Mycrane has subject matter experts around the world that can connect customers with real buyers, and achieve the best price for their equipment. This enables our marketplace to combine digital technology with personal relationships. Also, skilled labour shortage is affecting the crane industry greatly. At our job portal, crane suppliers can find the best people, while at the same time we offer new opportunities for those seeking a career move.”

The Mycrane platform (my-crane.com) simplifies the process of crane rental procurement, allowing users to submit details of their lifting requirements in order to receive personalised quotes from a range of registered crane providers. Customers of the platform can request a crawler, mobile or tower crane without having to rely on manual processes, such as calling suppliers or making multiple offline requests. Boom trucks, crane manipulators/ crane arm, man lifts, mini cranes, cherry pickers, aerial platforms and hydraulic gantry systems are also available. The service, operated around the world by a network of local franchisees supported by Mycrane’s head office team in Dubai, offers cranes with a capacity of between 100kg and 750 tonnes.
