BuyerZone Expands Construction Equipment Marketplace to Include Full-size
and Light Construction Equipment
Online purchasing marketplace doubles construction categories over last year,
creating a comprehensive resource for buyers and sellers of construction equipment
WATERTOWN, Mass. – (Aug. 1, 2006) – BuyerZone, the
leading online marketplace for business purchasing, announced today that it has doubled
the number of purchase categories represented in its construction marketplace to include
compact, full-size and light construction equipment. The addition of these categories has
further solidified BuyerZone's offering for both buyers and suppliers in the Construction sector.
Buyers intending to make a near-term construction equipment purchase can visit
BuyerZone's construction portal
www.buyerzone.com/constructionequipment
to submit a free Request for Quotes (RFQ) and receive competitive quotes from dealers
of top manufacturers like Bobcat, Briggs & Stratton, Caterpillar, Ingersoll-Rand,
Rental Service Corp (RSC) and United Rentals.
Already well established in office-based business purchasing categories, BuyerZone
first brought its RFQ service to the Construction sector in 2004, with the launch of
aerial lifts, mini excavators and skid steer loaders categories.
Over the last year, BuyerZone's construction equipment category offerings have grown
to include full-size equipment such as backhoe loaders, bulldozers, excavators, motor
graders, rough terrain forklifts and wheel loaders, as well as light equipment like
air compressors and generators.
"Our continued expansion in the Construction Equipment sector has shown that buyers
and suppliers of construction equipment were in need of a better way to connect and
transact. Bidding services, equipment classified listings and online directories were
only getting buyers and suppliers partway there. With the additions of full-size and
light construction equipment categories to BuyerZone's offerings, we've been able to
create a more comprehensive and efficient construction marketplace that benefits both
buyers and sellers," said Sam Zales, President and CEO of BuyerZone.
The BuyerZone Construction Equipment marketplace has limited remaining openings for
high quality construction equipment dealers who would like to respond to quote requests
from ready-to-buy prospects in their local areas.
