A Machinery Trader clone for your region's machines.
A Machinery Trader clone is a used equipment marketplace where dealers list excavators, tractors, forklifts and trucks with the hours, year and specs buyers check. Yclas gives you the Equipment pack, dealer stock feeds, price on request and spec sheets, so you can run one for your country or your trade.
Free for 15 days · No credit card · Equipment pack on every plan
Machinery sites grew out of trade magazines.
Machinery Trader and Equipment Trader followed the printed trade papers that dealers and contractors have read for decades. The habits carried over: dealer stock, honest specs, and a phone number to call about a price.
What a heavy equipment classifieds script needs at launch.
Pick the kinds of equipment you list in the sign-up wizard and Yclas adds the fields for them: every machine gets make, model, year, condition and serial number, then hours, power and operating weight for plant, drive type for tractors, lift capacity for forklifts. You do not design the forms yourself.
| Part | Launch with it | Add it later |
|---|---|---|
| Kinds | Construction and earthmoving, or farm machinery | Forklifts, industrial, catering, lab kit |
| Dealers | Three dealers' stock, imported for them | Scheduled CSV or XML feeds |
| Prices | Fixed, best offer, price on request, plus VAT | Up to 20 currencies for cross-border sellers |
| Documents | Spec sheet PDF made for every machine | Inspection reports and manuals from sellers |
| Selling | Machines for sale | Plant hire with booking requests, auctions |
Aim your Machinery Trader clone at one region or machine type.
The big equipment portals list stock from across a continent. Buyers still prefer a machine they can inspect within a day's drive, in their own language, with a price that includes their VAT. That is the opening:
- a country or region whose dealers have no site of their own;
- one kind of machine, such as forklifts, compact plant or vineyard tractors;
- one industry: forestry, mining, catering or labs.
Each make, model and location with live stock gets its own landing page, so "used Caterpillar 320" in your region has somewhere to land.
Specs, price type and paperwork on one page.
Every machine shows a key specs block, its price type, the dealer and a one-click PDF spec sheet. Sellers attach up to five PDFs, such as inspection reports, manuals and service records, and listings with an inspection report get a badge.
- Price on request hides the price and puts Request a quote first.
- Serial checked is a mark your team sets after checking the serial number; it is not a stolen-equipment check.
- Finance estimate and optional transport-quote links to your partners.
Every dealer's yard online, updated on a schedule.
Dealers upload a CSV or give a CSV or XML link, up to 1,000 machines a run. Columns like year of manufacture, meter reading and stock number are matched for them, and "4,250 h" is read as 4,250 hours. Their page shows every machine with filters for type, make, year, hours and price.
- Leads per machine: calls, WhatsApp, messages and quote requests.
Rent machines out, or sell them to the highest bidder.
Mark a machine for hire and it shows prices per day or week, a calendar and a booking request that goes to its owner. Switch on auctions and a seller can list a machine with a starting price, a reserve and a buy-now price, with bids that extend the end time when they come in late.
