United Trading Group

What United Trading Group does

United Trading Group LLC is a privately held used heavy equipment dealer and distributor headquartered in Tampa, Florida, founded in 2014 and operating with a 1-10 employee footprint. The company buys and sells pre-owned construction, forestry, and agricultural machinery — including motor graders, crawler excavators, wheel loaders, crawler dozers, and articulating boom lifts from manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Deere, Komatsu, Volvo, and JLG — primarily to construction contractors, with secondary exposure to forestry and agricultural buyers. Its inventory and listings are managed through Sandhills, an industry-standard third-party inventory platform, rather than any proprietary technology stack, and the company maintains no public API, no patents, and no certifications.

The business operates on a sales-led direct distribution model with revenue generated across three streams: one-time used equipment sales (primary), recurring equipment rental, and ancillary logistics and support services including local trucking, ocean freight quotes, equipment dismantling and containerization, and equipment storage. Pricing is set per unit, ranging from $13,000 for articulating boom lifts to $65,000 for wheel loaders, with commercial financing facilitated through third-party partner CurrencyFinance. The go-to-market combines a company website, online timed auctions, direct phone and email sales, WhatsApp, and a physical yard at Land O Lakes, Florida. The company claims operational reach across the United States, Canada, and the Middle East, though its physical infrastructure is concentrated in two Florida locations.

Strategic positioning centers on a service bundle that reduces buyer friction for cross-border equipment acquisition — particularly dismantling and containerization for export — rather than on technology differentiation or brand equity. Customer acquisition is supported by a Want-to-Buy Program allowing buyers to submit specific sourcing requests, and the online auction channel extends buyer access beyond traditional phone/email sales. No named enterprise customers, logos, or institutional investors are disclosed, and the company appears to be independently owned by principal contacts Ahmed Hesham and Ahmed Abougendia.

Direct peers

• IronPlanet: Online auction platform for used heavy equipment, now part of Ritchie Bros. Competes head-on with UTG's timed online auctions for construction and earthmoving machinery.
• TractorHouse: Sandhills-operated listing site for used farm and construction equipment. Directly comparable as a digital channel for the same asset categories UTG sells, including farm and construction listings UTG auctions alongside core heavy equipment.
• Equipment Trader: Online marketplace for buying and selling new and used heavy equipment, trucks, and attachments. Comparable to UTG's listing-driven sales model with broader inventory categories.
• MachineryTrader: Leading online listing marketplace for new and used construction equipment. Comparable to UTG's web-driven equipment sales channel and Sandhills-hosted inventory system.
• Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers: Global marketplace and auctioneer for used heavy equipment, trucks, and attachments. Directly comparable to UTG's used construction equipment resale and online auction model, but operating at vastly larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Cat Used Equipment (Caterpillar): Caterpillar's official used-equipment resale channel. Overlaps with UTG's Caterpillar 14G, 235C, and 980M resale activity but is backed by the OEM with global dealer reach and certified pre-owned programs.
• Komatsu Used Equipment: OEM-driven used equipment program for Komatsu machines. Comparable to UTG's handling of Komatsu D31PX-21 inventory but with OEM warranty and dealer-network support UTG cannot match.
• Volvo Used Equipment: OEM's used equipment program for Volvo construction machines, including the EC210B LC excavator model UTG has listed. Overlaps on specific Volvo inventory but is backed by global OEM infrastructure.
• John Deere MachineFinder: John Deere's official used construction and forestry equipment marketplace. Comparable to UTG's Deere 750C LT II and 750K resale, but with OEM-backed listings and dealer financing.

Others

• Sandhills Global: Operator of MachineryTrader, TractorHouse, Truck Paper, and the inventory management platform UTG itself uses. Functions as enabling infrastructure rather than a direct competitor.
