UK trade marketplace
Used construction and site equipment
Plant and site equipment moves between businesses constantly — projects finish, fleets get rationalised, and kit that was specified for one contract has no home on the next. Much of it is sold on condition and service history rather than age.

LotLoop is new and this category has no live listings today. Tell us what you are looking for and we will go and find it — buyers can post a request for equipment that is not yet listed.
Not sure what it is worth? We publish sourced UK price ranges, free and without signing up: used scissor lift.
The questions that decide value here are documentary as much as physical: what has been serviced, what has been inspected, and what certification comes with it. A machine without its paperwork is a different proposition from the same machine with it.

- Excavators, dumpers and compact plant
- Scaffolding, towers and edge protection
- Access platforms, podiums and ladders
- Generators, lighting towers and welfare units

What to check before you buy
Inspection and certification
Access equipment and lifting kit carry statutory inspection obligations. Ask for current records and do not assume they transfer with the machine.
Hours and service history
On plant, hours and documented servicing tell you more than year of manufacture. Ask who maintained it and whether the record is complete.
Hydraulics and leaks
Check rams, hoses and couplings, and look at where the machine has been standing. Fresh oil under a parked machine is worth asking about.
Attachments and buckets
Confirm which attachments are included and what hitch they are on. A mismatched hitch quietly adds cost.
Transport and site access
Weight and dimensions decide what moves it. Confirm both, and the access at the collection site, before agreeing a date.
How buying works on LotLoop
Every listing is reviewed by a person before it is published — nothing goes live automatically. Sellers are businesses, checked against their Companies House record, and the result of that check is shown on the listing. You can buy at a fixed price, make an offer, or request an inspection first.
The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds the seller’s transfer until collection or delivery has been verified. This is not escrow and we do not describe it as such: it is a delayed transfer against an evidenced handover.
Sellers pay 0% commission, permanently. The LotLoop commission sits on the buyer’s side and is 0% for the first six months after public launch. Payment handling is charged separately to the buyer.
Questions
Is certification included?
It depends on the item and the seller. Ask through the listing before buying — for access and lifting equipment, current inspection records are part of what you are paying for.
Can I buy a single item from a larger lot?
Quantities are shown on each listing. Where a seller is clearing a site, you can ask a question or make an offer on the part of it you want.
How is payment handled?
The buyer pays on the platform and LotLoop holds the seller's transfer until collection or delivery has been evidenced. It is not escrow, and we do not describe it as such.
Selling construction and site equipment?
If you have surplus equipment in this category, listing costs nothing and you receive the full amount you list or agree. Submit it privately and nothing is published until LotLoop has reviewed it.
