Online auction house 714 IronPlanet will auction 165 items of used machinery and parts from across Europe on April 29.

A considerable number of machines from the Nordic region will be featured thanks to exclusive packages from PON, the official 178 Caterpillar dealer in the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

Machinery from Ramirent, a general equipment rental company in the Nordic countries and in Central and Eastern Europe, will also be featured.

Machinery will include excavators, compactors, combine harvesters, tractors, dumpers, forklifts, skid-steer loaders and much more.

On auction day, equipment will be sold to the highest bidder. However, prior to the auction, registered bidders are able to place bids through the IronPlanet’s PriorityBid service. This service automates the bidding on a buyer’s behalf, should they be unable to attend the auction themselves.

Carlos Banegas Busch, sales director for northern Europe at IronPlanet, said the auction will again feature machines from Vinci, the French concessions and construction giant, as part of their long-standing relationship with IronPlanet.
