Dubai-based MYCRANE has launched a free-to-use online marketplace where users can buy and sell new and used lifting equipment, the company has announced.
According to MYCRANE, the new marketplace includes a wide range of cranes such as mobile, crawler and tower cranes, in addition to boom trucks, aerial platforms, manlifts, mini cranes and hydraulic gantry systems.
Rigging equipment, spare parts and auxiliaries are also on offer while the platform intends to serve as a hub for global job vacancies spanning a wide range of crane-related roles.
The Marketplace is supported by the new MYCRANE Inspections App, which provides real-time reports and high-quality images of the crane listed for sale, anywhere in the world, the company says.
Powered by Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, the App is said to allow sellers easily upload and modify condition reports, eliminating the need for specialist crane inspections.
MYCRANE, best known for its online crane rental service, was founded by Andrei Geikalo, a former commercial director at global heavy lift and engineering company Mammoet.
Speaking on the announcement, Mr Geikalo, MYCRANE’s CEO and founder, said: “MYCRANE has subject matter experts around the world that can connect customers with real buyers, and achieve the best price for their equipment. It is this on-the-ground prescence that enables our marketplace to combine digital technology with personal relationships.”
He added: “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.
“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.”
