EquipmentConnector.com to Focus on Construction, Outdoor Power Equipment

Cygnus Business Media and IRON Solutions, Inc. have jointly launched www.equipmentconnector.com, a service for equipment dealers and buyers to buy, sell and appraise equipment nationwide, online, and on-demand.

The web site is the first to exclusively serve the construction and outdoor power equipment industry.

Powered by IRONsearch.com, the new web site launches with more than 13,000 loaders, excavators and other types of equipment from more than 800 dealers across North America, says Kris Flitcroft, Brand Director, Cygnus Business Media – Publishing.

“This new service immediately benefits equipment dealers by giving them access to thousands of pieces of equipment, sorted by type, price and age,” explains Flitcroft. “It’s a natural extension of our long history of service to the construction industry.”

“Nearly a thousand equipment dealers selling construction and outdoor power equipment are already listing their equipment on IRONsearch.com – which reaches over a quarter million agricultural, construction and outdoor power equipment buyers each month,” says Scott Derksen, IRON Solutions Chief Information Officer. “The launch of equipmentconnector.com gives the construction industry a site devoted to their needs.”

The new site is the first product of a joint marketing and content agreement signed by Cygnus and IRON Solutions in June 2009. IRON Solutions is the leading provider of data, software and solutions to the 120 billion dollar farm and construction industry.

Cygnus Business Media’s Construction Equipment Group reaches a readership of nearly 800,000 owners and managers of heavy construction equipment, equipment manufacturers, professional contractors, construction equipment dealers, product distributors, rental companies and other key players in the construction industry. Cygnus publications include Equipment Today, Rental Product News, Asphalt Contractor, Concrete Contractor, Pavement and the Web site ForConstructionPros.com
