If you sell used construction or agricultural equipment in the United States, there’s a growing opportunity you should be taking advantage of: exporting to international buyers.

Across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia, and Europe, global buyers are actively looking for reliable, pre-owned machinery from the U.S. Known for its durability and long-term value, used American equipment is in strong demand—and that demand is only growing.

At K International Transport, we’ve been helping U.S.-based businesses ship equipment overseas for more than 30 years. Whether you’re new to international sales or expanding your global reach, we can guide you through the entire export process.

– Why Export Used Equipment from the U.S.?

1. Consistent Global Demand

Used U.S. machinery is trusted worldwide for quality and availability of parts. In many developing markets, pre-owned construction and agricultural equipment offers the best value.

2. Expand Your Market Beyond the U.S.

Why limit your sales to a local or national audience? Exporting opens the door to hundreds of new buyers across continents who are actively seeking your type of equipment.

3. Sell at Higher Margins Internationally

Many international buyers are willing to pay more for equipment sourced from the U.S., especially from recognized brands and when in good condition.
