MachineFinder is a UK used machinery marketplace. It brings together businesses, contractors, dealers and private owners who have machinery to sell, and the people looking for a good used machine at a fair price.
What is listed
The site covers construction and plant, access equipment, agricultural and groundcare machinery, woodworking and metalworking machinery, glass processing and window manufacturing machinery, bodyshop and vehicle repair equipment, and other industrial machinery. New industries are added as sellers ask for them.
How it works
Sellers list a machine free from a phone or computer in a few minutes. They sign in with an emailed link, with no password to remember. Every listing is checked before it appears, so the site stays free of spam and of machines that are not genuinely for sale. Buyers contact sellers through an enquiry form, which keeps sellers’ email addresses away from spammers. Sellers can also show a Call or WhatsApp button, which anyone signed in to MachineFinder can see, so sellers choose this only if they are happy to share their number.
MachineFinder does not take commission and does not handle payment between buyer and seller. The sale is agreed directly between the two of them.
UK only
Every machine on MachineFinder is in the United Kingdom. Prices are in pounds, distances are in miles, and buyers can see how far each machine is from their own postcode.
Help for buyers and sellers
The guides cover what to check before buying a used machine, how to sell one, looking after machinery once it is yours, and the safety rules that apply to second-hand work equipment.
