ReQuip

What ReQuip does

ReQuip is a US-based used construction equipment dealer and online marketplace founded in 1998 and headquartered in Fontana, California. The company buys, inspects, and resells specialty construction equipment and ex-municipal assets — including asphalt pavers, compactors, wheel loaders, skid steers, excavators, forklifts, boom lifts, wood chippers, water trucks, vacuum trucks, sweeper trucks, flatbed trailers, and various attachments. ReQuip's stated differentiator is its specialization in ex-municipal equipment that carries comprehensive service histories, with every machine inspected prior to sale. Inventory is sourced and stored across eight locations spanning California, Utah, North Carolina, and Nevada, with the Fontana HQ holding the largest concentration at 87 active listings.

ReQuip operates a direct-to-consumer equipment marketplace powered by equipX technology, which provides the platform infrastructure for online listing management, equipment categorization, search functionality, and transaction facilitation. Revenue is generated through one-time equipment sales transactions, with individual unit prices ranging from approximately $15,000 for a basic flatbed trailer to $425,000 for a high-end Kenworth vacuum truck. Some listings are marked "Make Offer," indicating price negotiation is part of the sales process. The company supplements its core resale model with two add-on services: equipment financing and shipping coordination, which together support full-transaction fulfillment for buyers across the United States.

ReQuip serves two primary customer segments: construction equipment buyers (contractors, construction companies, and equipment operators) and municipal equipment buyers (municipalities and government entities seeking ex-municipal assets). The go-to-market motion is direct: buyers browse the website, contact the sales team by phone or email, negotiate on listed units, and arrange financing and shipping through ReQuip. The company is privately held, founder-owned, and bootstrapped, with no disclosed institutional investment or parent company. The founding team brings 40 years of construction-equipment industry experience and the broader organization carries more than 100 years of combined sector expertise.

Broad incumbents

• Caterpillar Used Equipment: OEM-direct used equipment program for one of the most represented brands in ReQuip's catalog (skid steers, wheel loaders, excavators, compactors). Caterpillar's dealer network and certified used program competes for brand-loyal buyers but lacks ReQuip's multi-OEM, ex-municipal curation.
• Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers (RB Global): Global auction and marketplace operator for used construction equipment, trucks, and agricultural machinery. RB Global is the dominant scaled peer, with far larger inventory volumes and auction infrastructure, but ReQuip competes for the same contractors and municipal buyers in the US West through its curated ex-municipal niche.

Direct peers

• Machinery Trader: Sandhills Global-owned marketplace for new and used heavy equipment listings. ReQuip sells skid steers, excavators, wheel loaders, and similar categories that Machinery Trader aggregates, competing for the same buyer search traffic across the US.
• Commercial Truck Trader: Online marketplace for new and used commercial trucks including water trucks, vacuum trucks, and sweeper trucks. ReQuip's vehicle category (Western Star, Kenworth, Freightliner, Isuzu trucks) competes with Commercial Truck Trader's listings for the same municipal and contractor buyers.
• TractorHouse: Online listing aggregator for new and used tractors, construction equipment, and trucks. ReQuip's category coverage (asphalt pavers, compactors, wheel loaders) directly overlaps with TractorHouse's equipment categories, and both serve contractors searching nationwide for used machines.
• TruckPaper: Sandhills Global-operated marketplace focused on used trucks and trailers. ReQuip's flatbed trailer and commercial vehicle offerings (Hudson, Big Tex, Pro-Trak trailers) compete with TruckPaper's listings for fleet and contractor buyers.
• IronPlanet: Online auction marketplace for used heavy equipment, now part of RB Global. Competes directly with ReQuip's online listing model, with broader category coverage but less specialization in ex-municipal assets and curated inspection processes.

Others

• equipX: Technology provider whose marketplace platform powers ReQuip's website. As an infrastructure vendor (and not a direct competitor for buyers), equipX is an enabling peer; other equipX-powered marketplaces may eventually overlap with ReQuip's equipment categories.

Emerging players

• GovDeals: Online auction platform for government-surplus and ex-municipal assets including vehicles and equipment. GovDeals overlaps directly with ReQuip's ex-municipal sourcing channel, though ReQuip adds curated inspection, financing, and shipping on top of raw government listings.
• Purple Wave Auction: Online auction house specializing in used construction, agricultural, and municipal equipment. Purple Wave competes for ReQuip's buyer pool through no-reserve auctions, but lacks ReQuip's fixed-price marketplace model and specialty focus on ex-municipal assets.
