How KosEquip Works
A straightforward marketplace for serious equipment transactions. No auction timers, no hidden fees, no unnecessary friction between buyer and seller.
Browse or Post
Search thousands of excavators, cranes, loaders, and more — filtered by category, price, hours, and condition. Dealers post directly from their dashboard. Private sellers use our simple listing form.
Contact the Seller
Each listing shows the dealer's direct phone and email. No middleman, no platform messaging system that slows you down. You talk to the person who knows the machine.
Inspect and Close
Arrange an in-person inspection before committing to anything. We recommend a third-party inspection for high-value equipment. Never send payment without a signed purchase agreement.
Build Your Reputation
Verified dealers build long-term credibility on KosEquip. Consistent quality listings and fast response times drive repeat buyers to your inventory.
Buyer safety guidelines
- Always inspect equipment in person before purchasing.
- Use a written purchase agreement for any transaction over $5,000.
- Request full maintenance and service records.
- For equipment over $50,000, consider a third-party mechanical inspection.
- Never wire funds to an unverified account or pay in advance without documentation.
