IronPlanet™, the world's leading online auction company for used construction, agriculture and transport equipment, advises its next unreserved feature auction is on October 9, 2008. Featured in this auction are six used forklifts plus aerial work platforms, excavators, skid steers, light towers and loaders.

'IronPlanet's auctions continue to generate interest across Australia and we are excited to announce our upcoming unreserved auction on October 9,' said Graeme McPherson, Managing Director for IronPlanet's Australian operations. 'With a broad selection of equipment and IronPlanet's guaranteed inspection reports, we're confident buyers will find great value in our online auction.'

Two Komatsu and four Toyota used warehouse forklifts will go up for auction Thursday, October 9. Included is 2005 Toyota 7FGL18 Fueled Forklift with a 1500kg lift capacity and 3.0 meter lift height. Complete details of all machines, their locations, features, meter readings and up to 50 photos can be reviewed online at www.ironplanet.com.au.

IronPlanet's extensive range of used heavy equipment from leading brands like Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo, Deere and Bobcat means that customers can gain access to more products at better prices.

With an online business there is always a level of uncertainty. IronPlanet's dedicated Brisbane based Customer Care Team has the experience to provide you with the information you require.

IronPlanet provides comprehensive inspection reports for most sale items, to enable its buyers to buy with confidence, and to make sure buyers get what they paid for. Each report includes a detailed condition description, inspector comments and ratings, photos, wear-related measurements and in some cases lab results of oil/fluid samples.

For Roger Witham of Queensland's Tractor Supply, getting the item he was promised was extremely important. "An unforseen expense tends to overcapitalise a small machine purchase such as the Bomag BW120AD-3 Compactor," he explains, "but the item arrived exactly as it was appraised."

This also means that there is no need for potential buyers to commission pre-purchase inspections and incur extra costs. And with IronClad Assurance, what buyers see on the inspection report is what they get when they receive the equipment.

The auction itself is a straight forward process for those who have no time to waste. "I found the auction to be concise and logical, particularly the recording of bids," adds Witham, "and the invoicing following the auction was just as hassle-free for me.
