“This week marks our end-of-the-quarter auctions at IronPlanet across all of our marketplaces,” said Jeff Jeter, IronPlanet President. “In addition to our online auctions this week, we are excited to build on the success of our Florida onsite auction where we had the best selection of low hour, late model Caterpillar equipment. This week we will be holding our second joint event with Cat Auction Services, hosted by Zielger Cat in Des Moines, to benefit our customers in the upper midwest. Likewise, it is an exciting week with Kruse hosting a big two-day oilfield equipment auction in Oklahoma City.”
