Introduction
Selling heavy equipment in the Middle East can be complicated — especially when brokers, auction fees, and hidden deductions eat into your profit. Whether you’re an equipment owner, contractor, or rental company, getting the right value for your used machine shouldn’t involve unnecessary intermediaries.
At Mikas, we’ve redefined how businesses sell heavy equipment across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and other GCC regions. In this blog, we’ll show you how to sell your equipment quickly, securely, and directly, without relying on third-party brokers or risky auction houses.
Why Most Equipment Sellers Lose Money ?
Many sellers assume the only way to liquidate used machinery is through:
- Public auctions (with steep cuts)
- Local resellers (who often lowball prices)
- Overseas brokers (who delay payments)
ut these methods often come with:
- ❌ Hidden fees
- ❌ No guarantee of sale
- ❌ Long waiting periods
- ❌ Poor transparency
In the Middle East market, time-sensitive projects and urgent cash flows require a faster and more reliable selling solution.
