The company, which offers equipment from the US and Europe selling for as high as US$500,000, says the new guarantee applies to all orders placed on the platform, and it gives customers the opportunity to test machines extensively for five days on their jobsite, anywhere in the world.

Michael Rohmeder, Equippo’s founder, says: “We are making online trade with used construction equipment transparent, simple and safe. All machines undergo strict technical inspections. Our money-back guarantee is reducing the buyer's risks immensely.”
