About PilingBroker

PilingBroker is a marketplace for one industry: piling, drilling and foundation equipment. Contractors and dealers list machines for sale or hire, and buyers search them by category, manufacturer, condition and location. Nothing else is listed — no general plant, no earthmoving, no trucks.

Why a specialist marketplace

Foundation equipment is a poor fit for general plant marketplaces. A drilling rig is described by rotary torque, kelly bar type and crowd force; a vibratory hammer by eccentric moment and clamp type. Listings on general sites rarely carry those fields, so buyers cannot filter on the things that decide whether a machine suits their work, and sellers reach an audience that mostly does not know what it is looking at.

Listing on a site that only carries foundation equipment means a smaller audience made almost entirely of people who buy this equipment for a living.

What is listed

Eleven categories, covering the machines used to build deep foundations: drilling rigs, pile driving rigs, anchor and micropile rigs, hydraulic impact hammers, diesel hammers, vibratory hammers, casing oscillators, casing and tooling, grout plants, cranes and diaphragm wall equipment, and air compressors.

Machines are listed new, used and for rent, by dealers and by contractors selling from their own fleets. Equipment is located across Europe, North America and further afield, and listings state the country the machine is in.

How it works

For buyers. Browsing and searching are free and need no account. Listings show the specifications that matter for the equipment type — year, hours, brand, model, location and price where the seller publishes one. Some sellers ask buyers to contact them for pricing. Enquiries go to the seller, who handles the negotiation, inspection and sale directly.

For sellers. Listing is free. Machines are reviewed before they publish, which is why a listing does not appear the instant it is submitted. PilingBroker is not a broker in the transactional sense: it does not take possession of equipment, hold funds, or take a commission on a sale.

Inspection is the buyer’s responsibility. Listings describe machines as their sellers describe them. On equipment at these values, inspect before you buy — the buyer’s guides set out what to check for each equipment type.

Buyer’s guides

There is a guide for every category on the site, covering the specifications that decide whether a machine suits your work and the checks worth making before money changes hands.
